Oh My God, - prior to the USA election I pointed out to my family and friends that Biden was demented.
They scoffed in disbelief.
They're not laughing now.

When are we going to be subjected to the Left wing outrage over Starmer resigning and causing an unnecessary and costly bye-election?

If millionaires, such as Lineker, believe the wealthy can and should pay more tax, there is absolutely nothing stopping them writing out a cheque payable to HM Treasury, for the amount of underpaid tax they believe they should have paid. – at Llantrisant, Wales

Chris Jones MBE.
Was an old-fashioned rugby hard man.
Banned, sine die, TWICE by the Welsh Rugby Union.
Then found religion (whilst in Brecon police cell), turned his life around and became a coach and mentor to the youngsters in Rhondda. Wonderful testament.

Given that Starmer has declared the intent to close down social media platforms, why are his various accounts on X still active, and have not been closed down? – at Llantrisant, Wales

So the jury has been discharged in the trial of 2 guys charged with assaulting police officers at Manchester Airport.
It will not happen but it would be interesting to learn of the constitution of the jury.

Exeter v Munster
Can the authorities PLEASE stop replacements and others rushing onto the pitch to celebrate a score?
It's quite a recent innovation but it should be stopped. – at Llantrisant, Wales

Reject this complete chaos.
Vote Plaid Cymru, get a local candidate, chosen by local people and elect the grown ups to run our Senedd.

1/ ⚠️ This thread is graphic and detailed. It contains descriptions of child rape, torture and institutional cover-up.
It is also entirely documented and sourced.
It will tell you what has been done to girls in this country, why it was allowed to continue, and why today's inquiry is not enough.
PLEASE read it all. You need to read it all. 💾🧵

So the new Chairman of the BBC was:
A board trustee at The Climate Group and the Media Trust, a non-executive director at Sainsbury's and a part-time senior independent director at The Guardian, where he is still listed as holding a role at the time of writing.

So we are told that NHS waiting lists in Wales are down.
Having suffered a fractured vertebra, and possibly consequential nerve damage on 9th January, I was referred for an MRI scan 5 weeks ago.
No appointment as yet.
Well - that's one way to keep the waiting lists down.

As someone who has run Polling Stations as a Presiding Officer for every election and referendum, national and local, for well over 40 years, I am baffled by the ‘family voting’ furore. A core duty of the PO is to maintain secrecy and only a PO may assist a voter in casting their vote - except for blind voters being assisted by a companion. In both circumstances, a meticulous record must be maintained. If this practice occurred, then there are only three possibilities: (a) the PO was not doing their job, (b), the PO and the POs staff were complicit, or, (c) that they were intimidated to comply. If it happened in the presence of authorised observers (when staff would be at their sharpest as regards to procedures) then it is even more extraordinary. Something about this story seems very odd indeed. I am not saying it didn’t happen, but the question is: how did it happen if it did happen? 🤷♂️

Jeremy Bowen represents everything wrong with the BBC. He is smug, overly opinionated and blatantly biased, yet he views himself as a paragon of objectivity. No wonder nobody trusts the Beeb anymore, says Limor Simhony Philpott
