Why can’t UK supermarkets be like the rest of Europe and sell vegetables and fruit such as aubergines and peppers by the kilo? Wake up Tesco, Waitrose, Aldi, Sainsbury and the rest. Over cimputerised and homogenised!!!

Insane that the British Foreign Secretary can meet with the former leader of Al Qaeda in Syria while, at home, on the same day, his government arrested 20 people on 'terrorism offenses' for supporting a non-violent pro-Palestine protest group.

Who runs cricket? Here we are at the height of summer. It is Saturday tomorrow and no men’s cricket games are due to take place. After the test match excitement this is truly daft timetabling @wisdencricket.bsky.social @thefinalword.bsky.social @theanalyst1.bsky.social

@profgalloway.com stick to tech business. Surely you do not think we are safer now than 18 months ago? Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan should have told you military involvement does not yield long term benefit. How can Israel’s response in Gaza and a preemptive strike on Iran be morally right?

Anybody else fed up with cats hunting and killing young birds for fun and defecating in their newly planted vegetable beds? We need controls placed on domestic cats in Wales so that a neighbours friendly puss doesn’t become another neighbour’s unwanted pest, dangerous to health.

As someone who argued for the maintenance of tolls on the Severn Crossings into Wales we now see the real cost of removal could be as high as £300m on the old bridge to replace cabling which is under pressure from 36% increases in HGV and all traffic. Let’s get freight back on rail.

Tresaith beach in Wales’ unusual spring - why be anywhere else? For 10 minutes let’s bury our heads in the sand and ignore the authoritarians destroying our environment and enjoy nature for what it is.

Boots the Chemist and Waterstones are American owned so choose your pharmacist and bookseller with care, if you can. The only pharmacy in Builth Wells is US owned. That’s wrong. Tariff action can work both ways. Support local businesses on the high streets of Wales It’s not just Amazon #annibyniaeth

Maybe it's time to start thinking unthinkable things (thanks, Trump!) and try to work out how to carve up the world into economic superpower uberblocs?
Imagine EU+UK+Japan+Australia+Canada+(maybe)China all with low/no tariffs between each other and high tariffs vs the US.
Trump would **** himself.

#digitalservicestax is a weapon in the #uk armoury against the #US and #Trump. It should be increased from 2% and not abandoned as a bargaining tool over tariffs and the income put to reducing the bad impacts of social media amongst children

A note to the UK government. You do not appease a bully but stand up to them. Only 4.23% of the world’s people live in the US; if we oppose Trump and show togetherness the US and its people will be the victims of the bullly, not us.

What happens to the frozen fuel from the Space X rocket which caused the strange phenomenon seen over the skies of Wales on Monday? What is its environmental impact? Can anyone out there help and answer these questions? Thank you - a frightening sight in the sky.

Conclave excellent but Anora ….. small audience and we walked out before the end. Nothing to recommend it. Only ever done that twice before and I have sat through some dross. Ps - travelled 50 miles to see it as well
“Conclave” won the best movie title at the EE British Academy Film Awards at the Royal Festival Hall in London on Sunday — adding the latest twist to an awards season in which no one movie has dominated the major ceremonies. “Anora” and “The Brutalist” also took home top prizes.

Ever wonder why Nigel Farage and his 4 MP's get infinite TV time, while the 5 Green MP's are never seen?
It is because one is the establishment, and the other is against them.

Five years today we departed the EU. Somebody tell me what good that has done except continue to embolden those who argued for it. They continue to demonise and blame Europe and will never be satisfied. We, who believe in fairness and equity, must face them down.
