Can you imagine how Reform UK would react if a Welsh leader of any other party had been sentenced for 10 years for taking bribes?

A quick word in praise of our wonderful NHS. Fell and stubbed my finger last night. Couldn’t move it this morning so visited A&E in Cardiff. Had a consultation, x-ray and splint fitted for a ruptured tendon, all within 25 minutes of arrival and all free. Thank you #NHS ❤️

They say that a double negative equals a positive. So if I forget that I have a poor memory, does that mean I have a good memory? 🤔

It never ceases to amaze me the level of prejudice amongst some Welsh people towards their own language. Had a meal today with some ‘old friends’ who spouted all sorts of nonsense on the subject…

…they possibly feel some inadequacy, but rather than doing something positive, like improving their language skills, they choose to dismiss and deride. Good thing there are many more who do not think that way. #YmaOHyd

Another laughable ad on my Google timeline. I doubt this house is in Cardiff as implied, or even in the UK for that matter. Happy to be corrected, but in the meantime its a BLOCK from me.

It is very nearly the tenth anniversary of that brief moment when, for 2 or 3 days, British newspapers remembered refugees are desperate human beings who need our help, rather than scum that it's okay to threaten with violence.

Why do some businesses persist in posting stupid ads like this? Would anyone ever click on this? I don’t get it.

Turns out the 20mph limit was great idea!
Two years on from the controversial policy, it's becoming increasingly clear that the doubters were wrong

Green energy is good in principle, but it can’t be done at the expense of local communities. This scheme resembles the great reservoir land grab of 130 years ago, when outside organisations came into Mid-Wales and helped themselves to its natural resources leaving no benefit to the local community.

HS2 -So Welsh Labour just voted down a motion which sought to give Wales equal treatment with Scotland re funding for railways. Really guys, you are making my decision re next years Senedd election quite straightforward. #senedd2026

So let’s get this straight. The Labour Gov’t in Westminster ‘have no plans’ to treat Wales on the same basis as Scotland as regards: HS2 Barnett consequentials; Crown Estates and even a bank holiday for our patron saint. Well as it stands, I ‘have no plans’ to lend them my vote again.

🏴 🏴 It has long been a Welsh Labour commitment for Wales to have parity with Scotland on the Crown Estates. Now they’ve ruled it out, Wales will continue to be fleeced for years to come.
