Documents prepared for next Tuesday's meeting of Anglesey Council's Partnership and Regeneration Scrutiny Committee are recommending that the island does not adopt the visitor levy (or 'tourist tax') at this stage.

Dartmoor ponies could be subject to mass culling to reduce the impact on biodiversity after a controversial ruling by the government’s environmental quango
Natural England has demanded that all livestock grazing on the moor is reduced by about 75 per cent to protect other habitats, plants and species
The move looks set to result in the culling of up to nine in ten of the semi-wild ponies as farmers prioritise their own cattle and sheep to remain within Natural England’s limit to minimise the impact on their own livelihoods
Natural England argued that the move was necessary to protect the diversity of Dartmoor, which is a designated site of special scientific interest
However, the plan goes against a government commissioned review into the future of Dartmoor, published two years ago, which concluded that Natural England “should not take actions likely to result in a reduction in pony numbers”, adding they were “invaluable for conservation grazing”
The move has led to claims that the quango is acting as judge, jury and executioner of the ponies — a species which is itself seen as endangered
Dartmoor ponies could be put to death under biodiversity plans

Today I have met Lucy, Mark and Katie, Henry Nowak’s mother, father and stepmother. Their courage is extraordinary.
They have endured the most appalling loss, it is a life sentence for them.
They have also faced the agonising decision to release the harrowing body-worn camera footage, knowing how painful it would be and how strongly people would react. They did so because they want truth, accountability and change.
They have asked that we work across political parties and religions to rebuild trust in the police. That trust has been broken because of what happened, and I agree with them on that.
We must also be prepared to examine, carefully and seriously, religious practices or exemptions that permit the carrying of dangerous weapons in public, and other activities that are not conducive to the public good. We also need to examine where the law needs to change.
Henry’s family do not want anger to tear communities apart. They are a family who have friends across faith and race, and so did Henry. His family want his memory to help bring our society together.
Everyone knows I have strong views about how we should deal with equality under the law. What the family agreed with me on is that we need to bring common sense back, and that is what we should all be fighting for.
I promised the family that we will work to ensure there is a positive legacy for Henry out of this tragedy.
That is my focus now.
A true story of Anglesey life. As the bridge closes 3 times in 2 days, relive all the drama on screen.

This is so powerful.
Golders Green is my local area. The hostility my Jewish friends and neighbours face is growing and it is scary. My heart goes out to them.
I’m not Jewish. You don’t have to be to speak out.
Defending Jewish people does not undermine any other value you hold.
Thankfully some people are prepared to stand up, and it’s great to see that one of those people is the King.
BREAKING: The King has visited Golders Green to show his support for the area's Jewish community.
The visit follows an incident on 29 April when two Jewish men were stabbed in Highfield Avenue.

This is one of the most jaw-dropping, chilling interviews I have seen. Watch this Rabbi from London, respond to question about the terror stabbing in Golders Green!

Every measure you list involves spending wealth.
You don’t list one measure that creates wealth.
And if you don’t create wealth you will soon run out of it to spend, which is already happening (hence all your extra taxes and borrowing).
Minimum wage rising 📈
State pension increasing 💷
Two child limit abolished 🏡
Child poverty falling 📉
Rights at work strengthened 💪🏻
Labour promised change. We are delivering change.

Punchy statement from the Electoral Commission.
“As a matter of principle, we do not think that capacity constraints are a legitimate reason for delaying long planned elections. Extending existing mandates risks affecting the legitimacy of local decision making and damaging public confidence.”

Naughty, naughty, Welsh Water tell @Channel4News the state of the River Wye has nothing to do with them... and they're "not like the water companies in England".
Well let me remind @DwrCymru that last year alone they spent 14,640 hours dumping sh*t into the Wye and as a company they are in fact the largest sewage dumper in the UK with a grand total of 856,351 hours worth of sewage dump into the environment in 2024.
Hypocrites.

I wonder if @mrmarksteel is strolling round the calm & sunny streets of Bangor right now #StormAmy. Despite threats to close the Britannia Bridge this evening, we'll try to make it across from deepest Anglesey. What a welcome to Wales!
