[@kyers9817]

I admire Miriam, thank you for this interview

[@notnilzab1]

Many thanks for this thoughtful and clear presentation of the need for Christians to speak out on the praxis of the Gospel.

[@peterjmcc1953]

A great interviewing technique and a brilliant interviewee. More please.

[@sinnyozzy]

Miriam Cates has my support

[@haroonlaldin7922]

Great for Miriam.

[@davehughes7624]

Thanks to the CU,and to Miriam for all your doing in God's name.Great interview.

[@sidcordle6605]

I had no idea that Miriam Cates I know as Miriam Atkins her maiden name. Her parents are indeed wonderful people and very good friends from the past. God Bless you Miriam.

[@jenniferworsley3156]

A brilliant interview. Thank you for what you are doing in Parliament as a Christian. I will pray for you. God's blessing to you.

[@truthforthetube]

Great interview. Love what you said about the clear agreement between "biology and theology" xxx

[@catecraddock3963]

Brilliant interview,well done Miriam for standing up the children,thank you.

[@christinewinton5206]

Really good interview. We need more politicians like Miriam.

[@bernardjoyce1288]

And more interviews like this

[@Justinian-IV]

No, no we don't. She is a piece of work.

[@brianreid8019]

Great to hear the work Miriam is doing, will be praying for you and your family. God Bless Note: Am an SNP supporter and don't agree with a lot of their policies.

[@davidgoodman1613]

Praise God for Miriam's faithfulness and courage. We pray for her. Her service will be honoured in the eternal.

[@timothypye901]

Thrre is no 'eternal'.

[@margaretbaillie7044]

Thanks Mirium for standing up for our children,an answer to prayers

[@centurionguards3819]

Being a Christian politician has got to be one of the most challenging things to do.

[@timothypye901]

🤣😂🤣

[@sasha_something]

Spoken like someone who has no real problems. Try being trans in the UK if you want to experience a challenge.

[@grahamegaw-mc3bw]

@@sasha_somethingLGBT is applauded today, with a whole month for it. LGBT people are treated with respect. Where is the respect for Christians? At one so-called pride march, someone shouted a wicked comment mocking Jesus’ crucifixion, yet no action was taken on him.However the street preacher was manhandled by police. There are only TWO genders -“In the image of God created He them ; MALE AND FEMALE CREATED HE THEM.” Genesis 1:27 KJV.

[@lilianwilson2717]

Thankyou for your fight for children keep going I pray you get re-elected with a large majority

[@Justinian-IV]

No chance, lol

[@nikkiisrael2708]

Miriam, I am so glad that you did this interview, and I came across it today, because I have been trying to learn about politics and who are the Christians who will stand up for the Christians in this country? I am so grateful that you are involved in politics, and I agree with most of what you have said in this interview. I hope to hear more about you in the coming days. You were born for such a Time as this. Just like Queen Esther in the Bible. If you do not speak, then we do not get the freedom. We so desperately cry out to God for. Your voice matters, so do not be silent at this time. If God is for you, then who can be against you. 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿💒🤗🙏

[@malcolmthompson8529]

Not only do we need to pray for Miriam Cates, who is a very inspirational individual, we also need to pray for other believers to get involved in public life.

[@davidhussell8581]

God bless you and your family Miriam. Please continue fighting the good fight for Christ, for truth and freedom under God.

[@commanderblanco960]

She's just the best. Great woman.

[@davidmoorhouse8190]

Lovely lady..God bless 🙏

[@dellaheming5890]

Very refreshing to hear this. Miriam needs our prayers and encouragement.🙏

[@karenrichardson8768]

Keep fighting. Thanks for your bravery in dismantling the transgender ideology. Medicine needs to be evidence based.

[@applemac100100]

We need hundreds more MPS like Miriam.

[@johnmorris2414]

As a Christian I would normally agree but her political stands differ from mine. She is right wing, so a dilemma . Fortunately not my MP .

[@alanburgess7998]

This begs the question, why did conservative education secretarys past and present allow these evil ideology to be taught in our schools in the first place.

[@chrisneeds6125]

Simple; satan is boss of this world; his time is extremely short and he's pulled out *ALL* the stops to bring us up to Armeggedon. Notes * antisemitism on the rise * Israel surrounded by enemies * USA and the west turning communist * church apostacy etc...

[@loverofgod6176]

The UK Government as a whole doesn't govern in the fear of God. Whether a lone voice is of any effect is debatable.

[@chrisneeds6125]

​ @loverofgod6176 With God, one is a majority!!

[@timothypye901]

​@chrisneeds6125 And there's the problem right there.

[@chrisneeds6125]

​ @timothypye901 Praying for you Timothy Pye...

[@haydngreenow8407]

With an election coming up we need to pray for more MP's like Miriam to be elected, 'Righteousness exalteth a nation: But sin is a reproach to any people.', Proverbs 14:34. Thanking God for MP's like her and for the ministry of the Christian Institute.

[@nikkiisrael2708]

Amen!

[@richardpblaikie]

Miriam is a breath of fresh air. Thank you also for taking the time to visit my children's school in Dudley recently. God bless you!

[@philipclemoes9458]

Every Christian should understand and be involved with politics. Politics is about people and peoples needs.

[@Debunker450]

So encouraging to have you doing all you can to defend healthy lives, healthy values in our children.

[@amandalewis1482]

PLEASE CAN YOU SEND MIRIAM MY BLESSED ENCOURAGEMENT AND PROMISE OF PRAYERS 🙏

[@bernardjoyce1288]

We need people like this whatever party. God bless and good luck in the coming election

[@alantrowbridge4931]

So encouraging to hear from a genuine Christian MP. I pray you are re-elected

[@Rain3633]

I saw you in the Covid debate Miriam and from your stance knew you were a fellow follower. Praying for you!

[@eddriscoll4562]

The Arch Bishop of Canterbury ? He's not a "Christian." Even I know that much. He may claim to be a Christian, but he clearly isn't.

[@Bullcutter]

And who are you? An unknown free-range Christian?!

[@Randolph1233]

@@Bullcutter,eddriscoll is correct. We take no pleasure in denouncing Archbishop Welby. He is leading many astray, and confusing the Christian message -affording all sorts of apostate heretics a platform. Lord Jesus Christ, send your Holy Spirit on Archbishop Welby to bring about repentance for the forgiveness of sins.

[@chrisneeds6125]

​ @Bullcutter And are you a free-range atheist? May Abba bless you, make His face shine on you and keep you safe from the devil's snare...

[@HearGodsWord]

Ed, based on your uncharitable comment it doesn't seem like you're a Christian. That's ironic.

[@naomiduckett6843]

God Bless you

[@strawberrysherbets]

Respect. 🙏

[@matt76716]

Best politician in the country.

[@CanadianMonarchist]

She is a beautiful woman.

[@timothypye901]

"God spoke to me through a really boring book." Goodness me! 😑

[@AshleyLoveland1739]

👏🏻

[@chrisneeds6125]

Courage dear sister. Shine Jesus. No panic, Holy Spirit has got this 😍 Notes * antisemitism on the rise * Israel surrounded by enemies * USA and the west turning communist * church apostacy etc...

[@timothypye901]

Loony tune.

[@grahamegaw-mc3bw]

⁠@@timothypye901 Antisemitism IS on the rise - look at the universities in America and Britain. Israel is hated GLOBALLY- surrounded GEOGRAPHICALLY by hostile nations, and overwhelming hostility by the UN. 124 nations voted in favour of Israel not being allowed to defend itself. The UK Foreign Secretary giving assistance to UNRWA, who assisted Hamas. The evidence suggests you are talking nonsense.

[@christopherflux6254]

A friend of mine is a secular atheist liberal, but really likes her because of her stance on gender ideology.

[@MegaSeanf]

She met brilliant people at a Tory conference 😂😂😂😂

[@CarlViola]

How a Christian can push for us to leave the European Convention on Human Rights is beyond me…

[@HammerHealedCD]

The best MP in parliament.

[@Malcolm-fk4rr]

Not sure the CI should be doing something close to a Party Political Broadcast.

[@kierantravers995]

I've never heard of her!

[@kerrynewnham8946]

We have a world of war, refugees, poverty, world threatening climate change - all pressing political matters - and what’s most upsetting Christians, the 0.1% of the country who feel they are not able to match their behaviour to their bodies & expected gender roles.

[@PaulWilson-r7m]

Miriam Cates is the best Politician… A wonderful Christian.

[@swiggsoclock]

if the Archbishop is standing up and calling the Rwanda policy un-Christian, then instead of complaining, perhaps it is better to reflect on what he is saying. if you're going to toe the line, why would you pick political party line over the church line?

[@mikefox6764]

What a lovely lady. We need more MP's like her.

[@ArjunGhag-ix7te]

Conscription is a gr8 idea by Sunak as defence is huge concern vs axis of evil (Puttin Xi Iran Hamaz). Labours Reeves weak on Kunesberg & refused to invest in Defence. Look at my past 1000 posts as I am a basher of Rishi. But give credit where it's due. It's a great idea & defence really matters.

[@andypc14]

And as a trustee of a church openly endorsing ‘conversion therapy’, do you now think she has the instinct, foresight and integrity to be a decent politician??? I hope she reflects on her position, learns from it and goes forward in life without lunatic, dangerous and despicable ideologies so prevalent in what’s left of the Tory party.

[@neill392]

I suspect she'll be looking for a job after the 4th of July.

[@michaelashworth4172]

Is she still being investigated by the parliamentary commission for standards and, if so, could it be for her apparent inability for distinguishing truth from untruth (or could it be "alternative facts". She is on record or lying to Parliament. She seems to have her fans in this institute but is it really a Christian thing to lie? I was brought up in a strict CofE school and they instilled in us a strict regard for the truth. Is that all old hat now?

[@kmo_1612]

You cannot be a tory and a true Christian at the same time. They are both at odds with each other. Also, Miriam Cates is a nut job

[@sionyn]

Drivel

[@johnscullion7685]

Ohh so thay did not want you at mc Donald's I wonder why 😮😮😮😮😮😮 just saying 😉

[@timothypye901]

"A marker in the sand.' Easily erased then... 🤣😂🤣

[@eddriscoll4562]

This post by me, saying that "You're wasting your time with that woman". - "She's no good to man nor beast." This post of mine was not intended to be posted on this page, as it referrs to a completely diferent article, which somehow got posted to this page by mistake.

[@Bullcutter]

Don't you know how to delete a comment?

[@timothypye901]

Not a servant of the people then, but a servant of God. 🤢🤮

[@timothypye901]

'The biological science matches the Bible teachings.' That's convenient for her then. 🤔

[@carlpierce2486]

Keep religion out of politics please.

[@timothypye901]

Hopefully soon she'll no longer be an MP. It looks to me like she's not primarily representing her constituents anyway, but prosyletising on behalf of a religion.
