On this day in 1995, Pulp released their fifth studio album, Different Class.
It reached number 1 in the UK album charts and was released as Common People in Japan!
Such an influential album for me as a teenager, so many amazing songs!

Last year I made a complaint about sexual harassment to Plaid about a man in this group picture. The complaint was upheld. What kind of message are we sending to women by continuing to include men, who have committed sexual harassment, front and centre of electoral celebrations at the Senedd 🤷♀️

Wales generally has a left of centre political identity.
This is how Caerphilly voted.
Reform may win a lot of seats in Wales, but it will be so hard for them to ever form a Government as most ppl don't agree with them.
This is why proportional systems are so much better.

On 21 October 1966, a colliery spoil tip in Aberfan collapsed, catastrophically engulfing a primary school and surrounding houses. 116 children and 28 adults were killed. We will never forget them.
