Towards the end of February we will be moving down the A14 for me to take up the post as Vicar of Old Felixstowe. It has been a privilege and a joy to serve as your curate for the past two and a half years, getting to know so many of you and being a part of three wonderful worshipping communities. Throughout December and the Christmas period it was lovely to see so many people gather in our churches to worship and celebrate the birth of Jesus. From the Christingle, to Carol Services, Nativities, Midnight Communion and celebration on Christmas Day we gathered to worship, to tell the amazing story of God’s love for the world. Thank you to all who attended and especially to all those who worked so hard to ensure services happened and the buildings were so welcoming. Over this time, I thought about the journeys that were made as part of the Christmas narrative. Mary and Joseph journeyed to Bethlehem, into a place they were unsure of full of lots of challenges and changes. The shepherds journeyed from the hills overlooking Bethlehem to worship the one the angels told them about. The wise men, led by a star, journeyed from the East to pay homage to the infant Jesus bringing their gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh, and returned via a different route. Yet perhaps the greatest journey of all was the journey God made to be with us in the person of Jesus. A journey that was motivated by love and revealed God’s desire to be alongside us on our journey. As I wrote earlier my journey this year takes me to new places. I wonder where your journey will take you? It maybe that you will continue to live in the wonderful villages amidst friends and neighbours. Yet wherever you journey this year the message of Jesus is that God is with us. I pray that whilst I move to pastures new, you may know his presence richly wherever you are.

This is something of concern across the House.

  • New Government and Prime Minister – August 2019
    August 2019 New government and Prime Minister – August 2019 This briefing sets out an overview of the government appointments made by the new Prime Minister, Boris Johnson. Full profiles of the new ministerial team for health and social care are set out below, along with those for other key Cabinet appointments. This briefing also covers the election of the new Leader of the Liberal Democrats, Jo Swinson. Introduction In May 2019, Theresa May announced her intention to resign as Prime Minister and leader of the Conservative Party. Boris Johnson and Jeremy Hunt were the two leadership candidates chosen by Conservative MPs to be put to a ballot of their party membership. Boris Johnson received the largest number of nominations from Conservative MPs and 66% of the vote of party members. Theresa May officially resigned on Wednesday 24 July, with Boris Johnson becoming Prime Minister shortly afterwards. Boris Johnson made significant changes to the government, with less than half of Theresa May’s Cabinet remaining in post. Johnson did not maintain May’s approach of balancing those who voted leave and those who voted remain, instead promoting leading Brexit supporting figures to senior cabinet positions. A full list of Cabinet appointments is contained in Appendix 1. Matt Hancock remains in post as the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with Caroline Dinenage and Baroness Blackwood also continuing in his ministerial team. They are joined by Chris Skidmore, Jo Churchill and Nadine Dorries. The Liberal Democrats also announced a new leader, Jo Swinson, on 22 July 2019. Swinson, previously the party’s deputy leader who held ministerial roles in the business and education departments under the Coalition government, takes over from former Business Secretary, Sir Vince Cable, who led the party for two years.

It accepts the environment within the purview of conservative politics. It favours decentralised solutions which harness the power of free markets, thereby aligning economic and environmental health. Where necessary, it asks governments to facilitate such markets. It reclaims the positive environmental track record of conservative governments around the world. Only a revived conservative focus on responsibility, innovation, sustainability and well- functioning markets will secure a stable society and healthy economy for present and future generations.
