Dear supporter,

Liz Truss will be appointed as Prime Minister by the Queen tomorrow after winning the Conservative leadership contest.

See her selected voting record.

In 1 Timothy 2:1-2, the Apostle Paul urges Christian believers to pray, intercede and give thanks “for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness”.

Please pray for our new Prime Minister, that she might have integrity, wisdom and courage in leadership. Pray too, that she, along with her Cabinet and wider Government, would seek to promote what is good and restrain evil (Romans 13:1-7).

In particular, please join us in praying for immediate action on the Online Safety Bill. It will soon complete its final stages in the House of Commons, but the Bill still needs radical surgery.

It attempts to regulate social media content that the Government deems ‘harmful’ to adults even though it is perfectly legal. This risks arbitrarily censoring mainstream biblical teaching on sexual and medical ethics.

As a matter of priority this aspect should be axed and the Bill’s scope limited to noncontroversial areas, such as the long overdue protections for children from online pornography.
