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."

Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran.
No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles.
Worth a watch.

Spanish PM Sánchez responds to Trump:
"Spain is against this disaster... Govts are here to improve people's lives... It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure, and in the process, fill the pockets of a few."
Reform are denying me access to the Welsh manifesto launch...
Remember a few weeks ago when Reform UK threatened to defund Bangor University in the name of "free speech"?
Well despite repeated requests, Reform are not allowing me to attend their manifesto launch.

A thoroughly entertaining, informative and very funny evening last night at Arad Goch, Aberystwyth with the 'For Wales see Wales' team. @willhaycardiff.bsky.social @robinjmorgan.bsky.social
Astonishing
Here's a striking visual illusion - the 9 purple dots.
Focus your eyes on the top left dot. That one is more purple than the others, right? Now try another dot... that one becomes the purple one! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41744429/

Caught this fascinating documentary (BBC 4) last night. On the origins of the Irish people and the politics of the work involved. Made in 2022 but still worth watching, plus an Aberystwyth connection - Ardal O’Hanlon: Tomb Raider share.google/WLurhdvAXd5U...
These people are poison. They will unleash racist thugs on the streets of this country and call it security. They will subjugate us to the US and call it patriotism. They must be stopped. There is no more important task in politics.
This is super interesting.
The last one I can read fluently is 1600.
I can then still read it and figure out (almost) every word, with some puzzling, but then lose it almost completely at 1200.

And, before you ask, I'm 49.
The fact that he is just hurting American consumers, American businesses and the US economy not only does not matter to him, I think in the midst of a tantrum like this (and make no mistake, this is a tantrum), he probably sees it as a plus. He's angry at a world learning to say "no" to him.

Turns out there’s an economic cost to everyone hating us.
A particular moment in my favourite Radiohead song always gives me goosebumps every time I play it. Turns out susceptibility to such “chills” (induced by music, poetry, art) varies between people & that genetic differences play a part.

Yes, it includes two charts by Carbon Brief, sure.

But it wasn't just one robot that answered his call. Thousands of them, all around the world, reported for duty.

Q: You said the Iranian nuclear sites have been 'totally obliterated.' What's left to go after?
TRUMP: You could get whatever the dust is down there. If we do it, that's really the least of we mission. But we'd probably grab whatever is left.
