Academy Award winning liar. I deny all wrong-doing.
The death of anti-Black, anti-Welsh, anti-Trans, anti-disabled wannabe-nonce and pregnant wife-beater Rod Liddle really tests my don't speak ill of the dead principle.
Just loving how John Cleese, now reduced to one of his own caricatures, rages about immigrants coming to the UK and failing to accept "our" culture, from his home in ... (checks notes) ... Nevis in the Caribbean.

I join you from the Blaenavon wildfire in Southeast Wales, brought to you by BP, Shell and Equinor. Though it does not look dramatic, the fire has been out of control for days - for a very particular reason. 🧵
Weird to think that George Thomas used donations raised for the bereaved families at Aberfan to clear National Coal Board waste tips, and it's still not the worst thing he did.

Beth Rigby on Sky describes the strong, loud applause for Starmer as "fulsome". Rigby is an intelligent and loquacious reporter, she definitely knows the meaning of that word right?
I'm old enough to remember when the entire British right had a month long meltdown about "foreign interference" when Obama said something mildly disobliging about Brexit. The Trump administration pouring millions of dollars into far right political groups in the UK? Not a peep
This is the right decision, but the news will be bittersweet for many in Wales. The same UK Government that took emergency steps to save steelworks in Scunthorpe failed to act with urgency to save thousands of jobs in Port Talbot. Double standards have cost Welsh communities.
British Steel taken into public ownership to protect 'vital' UK supply
The Scunthorpe steelworks has been officially nationalised under new government powers passed this week.

Collieries turned into retail parks, manufacturing in the doldrums. The problem is vast, but at least the PM-in-waiting sees it: and in that there is hope, says Guardian columnist John Harris

I’ve called on the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards to conduct a formal investigation into whether Nigel Farage breached the MP Code of Conduct, specifically regarding the gifts and benefits he received from George Cottrell in the 12 months leading up to the 2024 General Election.

Watching London-centric politicians lose their minds at the suggestion of further devolution because "IT COSTS TOO MUCH" while they sit in a mouse-infested palace that is costing taxpayers £40bn to renovate. FYI - £40bn would cover the annual cost of the (expanded) Welsh Senedd for 390 years...

Let’s not fudge why Starmer is in this mess. Yes, he didn’t have political instinct. Yes, the public is much less patient and more critical. But Starmer was also - to use his own phase - morally bankrupt on key issues of the day, from Gaza, disability benefits, to immigration.
