There’s a strange irony that of all the people we’ve heard at #Davos the one who was only able to speak in his native language was the one least able to communicate

Yet again most of us in the country are embarrassed and disgusted by the appalling behaviour in the House of Commons made even worse by the feeble attempts at humour and disgusting personal attacks. Something needs to change. It’s pathetic.

Interesting times ahead, but we have slowed the bandwagon and that is extremely important.

I first met Ms Deglurkar exactly two years ago today. She came to see me the night before she spent ten hours in theatre sorting out my heart and saving my life. Even now I find it hard to get my head around the unbelievable skill of her and the medical team she leads. My hero.

A futile gesture? Quite possibly. But at least it isdoing something and if we all did this it could have an impact.

How can Charles, who is (theoretically at least) the king of Canada, host Trump on a state visit in one of his other realms after he has caused so much trouble for that country? #ElbowsUp

Following Trump’s ‘beautiful’ inauguration portrait photo I think we should all post what ours would be as a hommage to him. Perhaps with a hidden message of support?

Elon Musk is a despicable person. His comments about Jess Phillips are abhorrent. Incidentally, Farage’s assertion that most young people think he is ‘cool’ or ‘a hero’ are totally unfounded, the 16-25 age group are actually even less approving of the rat than the rest of us.

If you’re still using Twitter and kidding yourself it’s because you think getting off is somehow letting the odious Musk ‘win’, please think again. Why it is still used at all by responsible, decent people beats me.

How can people use Twitter when Musk posts stuff like this? Why do the UK government, prime minister, and many other important figures and organisations still persist with it? Enough is enough, surely?

Twenty years ago we moved to Wales- that’s a third of my life as an ‘honorary Welshman’. We’ve been lucky to have met some fantastic people, travelled extensively, and learnt lots about the history and culture of this great country. Diolch yn fawr! Cymru am byth! 🏴

Imagine if we judged world leaders by the lives they saved and the peace they achieved rather than by the power they wielded and the wars they won.
RIP Jimmy Carter.
