BOOM 🏃‍♀️

Wales’ Melissa Courtney-Bryant has run the fastest time in the world this season for the 3000 meters on the indoor track.

That’s on average 2 mins 48 a km 🤯

Also a Welsh record 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Llongyfarchiadau Mel 👏

SO excited for the Marrakesh Marathon tomorrow!! 🇲🇦

This will be my 24th marathon at the age of 28 (if I complete it).

As the not so sporty guy in school it’s been life changing to find running - a sport that I love and see more and more people lace up their trainers each day. 🏃‍♂️

Yalla!!

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Cymru 12-45 South Africa 🇿🇦

A whole year of losing for Cymru for the first time since 1937.

Pressure is now on the Welsh Rugby Union as to why the poor run of form is happening + questions on where the blame lies. Is it the institution or the current coaches?

BREAKING: Wales/Cymru have done it.

TOP OF THE LEAGUE and PROMOTION to Nations League A after thrashing Iceland 4-1.

In simple terms, this significantly boosts the possible opportunities Cymru has available to qualify for the World Cup in 2026 and the Euros in 2028. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

…and it’s official.

After a thrashing by Australia in Cardiff, Wales is now on the longest losing streak in Welsh Rugby Union history.

That’s 11 test defeats on the bounce.

What do we think about Warren Gatland’s position?

Donald Trump has unveiled Robert F. Kennedy Jr as his pick for Health Secretary.

RFKjr’s supporters see him as someone who stands up for the truth.

But the man, who’s a sceptic of vaccines, has a history of spreading health information scientists say is false.

Cumulative immigration to UK since 2021:
India: 670k
Nigeria: 310k
China: 274k
Pakistan: 166k
HK: 131k
Ukraine: 108k.
Yes it'll prob come down in the coming years (a combination of lower student/worker/dependent flows) but this is not just, or most, a Ukraine/HK story, as some assume.
Most of that will be HK + Ukraine migration growth. Would expect to see it drop the other way in 2025.

I hope they make this app a bit more userfriendly soon 🙏 What’s with the long usernames?!

In case you missed it: Snowdonia/Eryri National Park have decided to keep using Welsh-only names.

Yr Wyddfa will keep being used instead of Mount Snowdon.

Eryri will keep being used instead of Snowdonia.

It's because a vast majority of locals and visitors supported using Welsh-only names.
