We are not a serious country. As @MayorOfWY says in her letter: “Other countries manage to do this faster than us. It cannot be right that it could take 18 years from the beginning of the project to the end.” Is the Leeds tram being cancelled on the DL?
And there it is. Embargo is finished. Yorkshire Post press publish first. But I have my suspicions there's quite a lot more to this story than what they're reporting. yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/pol…

Lovely to listen to our @hrsaprimary & @DOLMusic kids singing & hear the testimonies of @LeedsDYS #TheTwelve (@LeedsCitizens) on this morning’s Sunday Worship for Pentecost on @BBCRadio4. A great treat for my favourite festival! bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002d87…

Pope Francis was a transformative leader for the Catholic Church. His steadfast moral clarity and unshakable fidelity to the dignity of all, especially the most vulnerable, was an inspiration to the world.

Thank you, Pope Francis. The man the church and the world needed. He reoriented our gaze to Jesus in the poor and marginalized. He was a foil to consumerism and nationalism. He breathed life into the church and held it all together. Rest in peace.

I believe @RafaelNadal winning 14 @rolandgarros titles is the greatest individual achievement in the history of sport. Nothing comes close in terms of consistency & dominance at the highest level.

Why can Dijon, France plan, approve, and build a 12 mile tramway in 4 years, while it takes 13 years to build a 1 mile tram extension in Birmingham? Our new report, written with @createstreets, explores how Britain can make building new tramways cheaper and faster. 🧵
