I had the privilege of working on the Women's Archive Wales project to create a database of women involved in WW1. We found the names of nearly 50 women recorded on war memorials in Cymru. Thousands more served in many roles and many countries

It isn't going to court anywhere. Trump stood for re-election to avoid going to court to try to prove that he didn't incite a riot, which he would have to do if he took the BBC to court. He's trying to frighten the BBC into giving him money in a out of court settlement (as he has done to others)

It was displayed, on loan from France, at @librarywales.bsky.social about 25 years ago. I visited the display, it was quite awe inspiring to be able to see an artifact that was so intimately linked to Glyndŵr. They should ask to borrow it again to inspire a younger generation of Welsh people.

We can solve it by investing again massively in social housing, regulating the market against rogue landlords, Airbnb and second homes.

Let's reclaim the means to act decisively.
