Contents of right-wing newspapers in the UK this week: 1. It's very hot! 2. Don't let #Burnham appoint lefty #NetZero #climate zealots to his cabinet! 3. Why are we not more prepared for it being so hot?! symonhill.org/2026/06/26/r...

Reading right-wing newspapers in a heatwaveWith temperatures soaring and a new Prime Minister on the way, this seems to be the approximate content of most right-wing newspapers in the UK this week: Page 1: Labour must ditch lefty Net Zero t…symonhill.org

Points arising from Charles Windsor's revelation of his tax bill: 1. There are no details about how the tax has been calculated. 2. The tax is very small as a percentage of his wealth. 3. Much of his wealth derives from land his ancestors stole from the rest of us. #NotMyKing

Happy #Vesak Day to #Buddhist friends and followers!

In the #Makerfield by-election, the #ReformUK candidate is bearing false witness about "Christian heritage" and falsely claiming that a church has been turned into a mosque: symonhill.org/2026/05/31/r... #Christiannationalism

Reform’s Makerfield candidate is bearing false witness about “Christian heritage”The Reform party’s candidate in the Makerfield by-election is misleading voters to whip up anti-Muslim feelings. He is misleading voters while claiming to defend Christianity. Robert Kenyon, who is…symonhill.org

Some activities seem appealling at first sight but lead almost inevitably to disappointment. They include gambling, drunkenness and trusting the #LabourParty. No promises that #AndyBurnham can make will persuade me that the #GreenParty should stand aside in #Makerfield.

As a non-Jewish Christian, I need to be honest and speak up about how often I have witnessed #antisemitism in churches. Here's my comment piece about it in this week's @churchtimes.bsky.social: www.churchtimes.co.uk/articles/202...

Christian anti-Semitism must be confrontedChurches cannot speak out about hatred of Jews if they do not address prejudice in their own ranks, argues Symon Hillwww.churchtimes.co.uk

#PesachSameach to my Jewish friends and comrades!

1,000-strong Christian Bloc joins Together Alliance march against the far-rightYou can tell when a march is big if you’re near the back of it. It you have to wait for hours before you even start moving, it’s a good sign that there are far more marchers than were e…symonhill.org

Money & inequality were central themes of Jesus' teachings. He celebrated people who challenged injustice. But some people prefer not to mention that! Here's my recent sermon for #Wakefield #Baptist Church: symonhill.org/2026/03/16/e...

Economic justice is central to the message of JesusI was recently asked to preach on the theme of economic justice at Wakefield Baptist Church. They are a very welcoming and active church and I was honoured to be invited to preach there. The servic…symonhill.org

#Jesus' #beatitudes are not just nice fluffy sayings. They are blunt challenges to the structures and priorities of the world. I had the privilege of preaching about them last month. Sorry I've only just posted the sermon online! Here it is: symonhill.org/2026/03/14/j...

Jesus’s blessings turn the world upside-downLast month (on Sunday 1st February 2026) I had the honour of preaching at Foleshill Road United Reformed Church in Coventry. They are always very welcoming. Below is the text of my sermon (this is …symonhill.org

Everyone attacking #HannahSpencer's clothes has given up on real issues. I love her dress sense, but even if I didn't, it wouldn't matter. What matters is her words and actions. People who mock a working class woman for her appearance reveal more about themselves than about her.

As usual, peace activists are accused of being naive. What's really naive is believing that you can solve deep-rooted problems with bombs. #Iran #Israel

It is *utterly, totally and clearly untrue* to suggest that #MothinAli supports the Iranian regime. It is an outright lie put about by pro-war politicians terrified of @greenparty.org.uk. He attended an anti-bombing rally, not a pro-ayatollah rally.

#DarrenJohnson has joined the #LabourParty. Is this a rare case of a rat joining a sinking ship? I used to admire Darren when he was an inspiring Green politician. Then he left @greenparty.org.uk in a whirl of anti-trans, pro-war & pro-landlord sentiment. His new party share those values.

I'm vaguely picturing myself saying to a young person, "When I was your age, politicians had to come up with some sort of justification for bombing somewhere, even if nobody really believed it." #Iran #Iraq
