David Lloyd George *in 1890* on the devolution of the crown estate:
‘I fail to understand why questions affecting...the Mineral resources of the Crown in Wales, which are far better apprehended on the spot, should be administered by government clerks in London.’

History has shown us what happens when we scapegoat and dehumanise minority groups. We all said ‘never again'; but it seems very much like it is starting to happen again… and it’s terrifying ✍️Rocio Cifuentes, Children’s Commissioner for Wales wp.me/p8Mk4U-15RY

If like me you are very concerned about the rise of the far right at the moment consider standing in these elections. Obviously I would suggest with Plaid but one thing we must do is not let them get in unopposed. Devestating to let them walk in to running our communities with no opposition.

Os wyt ti, fel fi, yn bryderus iawn am gynnydd yr asgell dde eithafol ar hyn o bryd, ystyriwch sefyll yn yr etholiadau hyn. Yn amlwg, byddwn i'n awgrymu gyda Phlaid Cymru ond un peth y mae'n rhaid i ni ei wneud yw peidio â gadael iddyn nhw ddod i mewn heb wrthwynebiad. Mae'n warthus.

Scores of Palestinian people dead in attacks on Gaza as Israel intensifies bombing campaign – Israel-Gaza war live
Reports in put death toll higher than 100 people with many children among those killed by Israeli attacks
As we mentioned in the opening post, there were ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas in Qatar, which has acted as a mediator throughout the war, on Saturday.
According to BBC News, Hamas agreed to release nine hostages in exchange for a 60-day truce and Israel releasing Palestinian prisoners from detention.
With the launch of Operation Gideon’s Chariots in Gaza, led with great force by IDF command, the Hamas delegation in Doha announced a return to negotiations on a hostage deal, contrary to the intransigent stance they had taken up until that moment. Continue reading...

Yesterday David Lammy was unequivocal that Israel is breaking international law. Today No 10 contradicts that and says it is merely “at risk of breaching” the law. It is an extraordinary position to put the Foreign Secretary in - who will now have to say why he was wrong, or why No 10 is wrong.
