MP calls for 'Christian restoration' of UK

In an “courageous” speech in the House of Commons this week, MP Danny Kruger has issued an urgent call for the UK to return to its Christian roots.

Kruger, MP for Devizes in Wiltshire, spoke to an almost empty chamber while he laid out a two-fold rationale for his call: reminding listeners of England’s Biblical foundations, and warning of the dangers of a society which is absent of a Christian God.

“There is a great hunger in society for a better way of living, and I want to use this opportunity to explain what that better way is and why we here in England have the means to follow it,” he said, before pointing to Christianity as “the source of all things we value now and that we need… such as freedom, tolerance, individual dignity and human rights.”
