Journalist ‘baffled’ after police raid his home in China spy probe A journalist says a police search linked to the China spy inquiry was terrifying and left him baffled.

Deeply concerning to learn that Welsh journalist Martin Shipton has had his home raided by police this week. M.S. has been a formidable investigative journalist across many issues of importance in Wales, and it will now be important for police to explain their actions. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

NEW POLLING OUT FOR WALES

New polling from @Moreincommon_ shows a drop in Reform polling from a month ago:

- Reform UK 26% (-5)
- Plaid Cymru 26% (+2)
- Labour 20% (nc)
- Conservative 10% (–3)
- The Green Party 10% (+5)
- Liberal Democrat 7% (+1)

Reform have misspelt 2 out of the 3 Welsh words on their manifesto for Wales.

Nigel Farage and Wales leader Dan Thomas proudly held up the manifesto at the launch yesterday.

On the front cover it reads "Family, community, country," which has been translated to "Teulu, gymnued, wlad."

Thanks George! It must be difficult to be one of the few grownups in the room!

And here's the clip, thanks to James: bsky.app/profile/jame...

If we want a stable, secure, peaceful world, our governments should support democracy and self-determination everywhere, whether or not they agree with what the people want. Instead, for centuries, they have attacked democracy and self-rule, and we all live with the consequences.

WAR CRIME BY THE US.

An unarmed Iranian ship was takIng part in an Indian naval exercise, alongside the US.

The US withdrew and torpedoed the Iranian ship.

THEN the US refused to rescue the sailors, letting them drown.

This is treachery, cowardice, cruelty and a war crime of the highest order.

Reminder that even the Nazis rescued drowning sailors.

Hmm…
Who’s gonna tell them?

Welsh ‘revolution’ required to hit target of 1m speakers by 2050, says report Welsh language commissioner calls for ‘transformative’ intervention, amid Reform UK threats to undo new powers A “revolution is required” to protect the Welsh language, according to a major new report. While the number of Cymraeg speakers has remained more or less stable for decades, it has not risen in line with significant population growth, making the language more vulnerable, according to the Welsh language commissioner’s five-year report, published on Tuesday.

Farage cannot cope with his own unpopularity. At all.
With the media’s help and huge foreign donations, his ego has been massaged into such a state of entitlement that he thinks he’s answerable to no one and simply owed power.
It’s become a national imperative to prove him wrong.

Nigel Farage 'trying to rig' election rules in Trumpian 'sore loser' move Nigel Farage is accused of trying to 'rig the rules' in elections with Trumpian plans to restrict who can vote and ban postal votes after defeat at the Gorton and Denton by-election

Nigel Farage to 'rig the rules' in elections with Trumpian plans to restrict who can vote and ban postal votes after by-election defeat.

People with indefinite leave to stay will lose the right to vote.

The elderly, disabled and busy people will be disenfranchised.

So Farage blames immigrants for the Green Party by-election victory!

Some of the rubbish collected at yesterday's litter pick near Harrison Drive - clearly tells us what fly-tippers think of threats of fines or imprisonment?

Forgive me for asking but haven't they been in power for the last 27 years!

Labour promises same-day mental health help if it wins Senedd election Eluned Morgan will promise better mental health services as she launches her Senedd election campaign.

You mention proportional representation John; the irony is that thanks to Welsh Labour, our Senedd elections will be decided under PR- why is UK Labour so resistant?

Labour is stubborn in defeat because it knows this: we face the belated end of the political 20th century | John Harris In Gorton and Denton, I heard again and again that people wanted seismic political change – Labour and the Tories are no longer part of that conversation, says Guardian columnist John Harris

Latest from me: By dint of its relationship with the trade unions alone, Labour still plays a vital role in our democracy – but it also looks dangerously like an archaic legacy party. Its old majoritarian dreams are over

Dirty water, death and decline: the inside story of a privatisation scandal There is no end in sight to the pollution caused by a ‘broken’ system. Experts say it could even be getting worse

Just let these figures sink in!

"In the 27 years since Heather’s death the water industry has built debts that today stand at £73bn, having paid out dividends of £88.4bn in that time, as well as having overseen record sewage spills."
