How are London's churches going to cope with the massive influx of far right Christians in town today, as their thoughts inevitably turn to where they will worship and sing?

I want to say something to the people with mental health conditions that have got in touch with me worried / panicked about the govt news on possible benefits changes... NOTHING HAS HAPPENED. - The govt has put out a green paper. That is an EARLY STAGE consultation document. After that may come a white paper. - These things are not quick, if they happen, and this is a general election year - so whether it will happen at a question. This type of debate is given attention to create political news and put clear water between parties in an election year. Sadly doing that in the area of mental health, can have a real human impact, terrifying people about changes that may never happen So if you're worried about it, while I know its easy to say and hard to do, forget it - for now it is still political hot air.

Thanks so much to @vickytnz for summaries and thoughts on our talk at #SDinGov
