Various Conservative MPs objected when Justin Welby criticised the plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda. I’m no Christian, but I think I know whose side Jesus would be on
“Christ is risen, Alleluia. He is risen indeed, Alleluia, Alleluia.” Thus spake Jacob Rees-Mogg on Easter Sunday, on Twitter. (How does the guy manage to sound posh quoting something that surely sprang forth before poshness was invented?)
Rees-Mogg was then immediately taken to task by the wonderful cook and poverty campaigner Jack Monroe on the same platform – let’s call it Godly Twitter – who wrote: “Jesus would have flipped the table and driven you out of the temple, FYI.” She went on to quote from the book of Titus: “They claim to know God, but by their actions, they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good.” (Monroe, you will note, manages to make the Bible sound as if it was written yesterday.)
