Can’t believe it’s taken me so long to watch this! Family are from the Garw, spent lots of summers walking the path over the old Pont-Blaengarw section, and was once taken to see the new steam loco at the shed by my nan’s old colleagues. Thank you for highlighting this wonderful line and place!
Horrified and appalled by the attack outside Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.
My thoughts are with the victims, our brave emergency services and the entire Jewish community.

The UK Supreme Court overlaid in the colours of the trans pride flag — blue, pink and white. Overlaid bold text reads “TRANS WOMAN = WOMAN”. In the top left corner is the LGBT+ Liberal Democrats logo, and along the bottom is a small line of text: “Promoted by LGBT+ Lib Dems, 1 Vincent Square, London SW1P 2PN.”
