This rag is just a nasty twisting piece of shit or does not understand devolution
The devolved Labour Welsh Government should be put in special measures. An investigation should be launched into where the budget is being spent. There should be no further expansion of the Senedd. telegraph.co.uk/opinion/2025…

For #StandingStoneSunday Hand-pecked magical Neolithic art - thought to represent a tomb guardian - engraved on a stone inside Barclodiad y Gawres passage grave, Ynys Môn/Angelsey, Wales, 5,500-6,000 yrs ago; echoing the Boyne Valley rock art of Ireland 📷 My own, Jan 2023

Nye Bevan, founder of our NHS was born today, 127 years ago. A LOT has changed since 1948, but we're still here fighting for a fully public and properly funded NHS, and we always will be. Are you with us? RT if you are 💙

Book banning enrages me, what horrifies me here is the amount banned because of homosexuality 😡 those of us who support the T knew the movement against them was a gateway to target the LGB. 😓

Lovely unscripted moment this morning in the Welsh Parliament as a brilliant young choir from Ysgol Treganna in Cardiff - singing Safwn yn y Bwlch in rehearsal - bump into the Prime Minister (watch their reaction at the end 🎶)

André D'onkey is hotly tipped as the next Labour candidate for "insert name of safe Welsh seat". D'onkey once holidayed in Prestatyn, and is a close friend of Sir Kier Starmer having lived in his parents garden for several years. Currently head of the centre for stuff, a think tank based in Islington.

The Mycenaeans consumed barley bread, which they baked in ovens or fired surfaces using special clay vessels, which had various small cavities (holes), ensuring that the oil would be evenly distributed over the vessel and the bread would not burn during baking.

Lead from the front @CornwallCouncil: - Universal bilingual logo with Cornish first - HQ only one name, Lys Kernow - Rename Brown Willy to Bronn Wenneli
〓〓 We're calling on the Government to give Cornish the same recognition and protection as Irish, Scottish and Welsh languages. The call comes on the 10th anniversary of Cornish being recognised as a national minority. More on this ➡️ orlo.uk/Council_Calls_for_Gr…
