To those offended by this - the Labour Party was founded off the back of Christian Socialism. Christian values are Labour values https://twitter.com/keir_starmer/status/1339941739486978048
Leftist circles contain some of the most religiously illiterate and anti-Christian people I’ve ever met. If this article has upset you then please take the time to educate yourself
Christianity and Christmas are about redemption and love. God came to earth as baby born in the dirt. He grew up a refugee, suffered an unimaginably painful death, executed as a political prisoner. Over 2000 years later we still try (and fail) to follow His example of perfection
It is Jesus who commands us to sell all our possessions and give to the poor (Matthew 19:21), it is Jesus who commands us to love everyone as He loves us (John 13:34). These are all Labour values, these are all values we should be fighting for
Please this Christmas time, use your time to serve your neighbour and community. Posturing on Twitter does no one any good and makes no real change
