  • “You don’t get to just not go to work.”
    Nadine Dorries’ failure to make good on her pledge to resign her seat is like if presenter Alexis Conran didn’t show up to his #TimesRadio show, but held onto the slot, says Dr. Sarah Lieberman.

      The Good Samaritan.
      “An expert in the law came forward to test Jesus. ‘Teacher,’ he asked, ‘what must I do to inherit eternal life?’ Jesus said, ‘What is written in the Law?’ ‘How do you read it?’
      He replied, ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind’; and love your neighbour as yourself.’ ‘That is the right answer,’ said Jesus. ‘Do that and you will live.’
      But he wanted to vindicate himself; so he said to Jesus, ‘And who is my neighbour?’
      In reply Jesus said: ‘A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead.
      It so happened that a priest was going down by the same road; but when he saw him, he went past on the other side. So too a Levite came to the place, and when he saw him, he went past on the other side:
      But a Samaritan who was making the journey came upon him, and when he saw him was moved to pity. He went up and bandaged his wounds, bathing them with oil and wine. Then he lifted him on to his own beast, brought him to an inn, and looked after him there. [The Jews looked down upon Samaritans]
      Next day he produced two silver pieces and gave them to the innkeeper, and said, ‘Look after him; and if you spend any more, I will repay you on my way back.’
      ‘Which of these three do you think was a neighbour to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?’ He answered, ‘The one who had mercy on him.’ Jesus said, ‘Go and do as he did.’” - (at Luke 10: 25-37) -
