How many new Reform UK councillors in England have already resigned. I'm hearing at least two. It's almost as if Reform UK had a lot of "paper" candidates.

I have voted in the Senedd elections. I did NOT vote for Reform UK. They are NOT our friends. They are a bunch of blinkered, misguided people following a self-serving self-centred right-wing racist grifter.

Whilst the GOP protect Trump in 'murica, police in the UK arrest Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (the former Prince Andrew) of suspicion of misconduct in public office.

Welsh Water= far too high bills. They're supposed to be non-profit, so why so high?

A night in. Listening to the Redskins album "Neither Washington nor Moscow", a great British album. If you get a chance, please listen.

Suella Braverman, the latest Tory to switch to Reform UK. Vote Reform UK, get a bunch of re-branded Tories. Y'know, the ones that got us into this mess.

So, the WRU cull a 2nd franchise (not a club) & the internet goes mad. Remember, they came for the Celtic Warriors and we did nothing ...

Tony Blair joins Trump's "Board of Peace" for Gaza. I'm sure that'll go well. 😂

Reform UK, the real Nasty party.

Reform UK in Wales? A bunch of failed Tories who've jumped from a sinking ship. Vote Reform UK, get Tories. They're not on our side.

The new Mozart Estate album, "Tower Block in a Jam Jar", revisits old Mozart Go-Kart songs. Enjoyable pop fluff. Do listen.

Another great night for Starmer's "Labour" party as Welsh Labour lost the Caerphilly Senedd seat to Plaid Cymru. Tactical voting by many to keep out Reform UK? Probably. Horror by voters as Starmer lurches "Labour" to the right to try to gain Reform UK votes. Again, probably.

How many of Farage's small Brexit boats have crossed the Channel in the past week or so? Stand up Farage and take responsibility for the madness & the loss of life you've helped create.

Iceland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Slovenia & Spain are all boycotting the Eurovision Song Contest should Israel take part. The European Broadcasting Union needs to ban Israel, as they did Russia in 2022.

Women's Rugby World Cup opening match. Here we go. England v the USA live on the BBC in the UK and on many other broadcasters across the World (it's CBS & Paramount in the USA).

People getting stopped by the Police for wearing "Plasticine Action" t-shirts. Yep, that's what Starmer's continuity Tory Govt has done. Utter madness. Oh & stop selling arms to Israel.

The Guardian asked "how can England run out of water?" Wait until it finds out that reservoirs in Wales provide water to Birmingham, Liverpool, Cheshire & Manchester.

Ah, the wonders of "South Park." Excellent.

Janey Godley, gone but not forgotten. Let's hope Trump gets more of the same this weekend.

Verified as an adult. Very worrying.

Farage riots, Epping. More thuggery, egged on by buffoons.

UK 2025 & a police force is investigating chants by 2 bands at Glastonbury festival because, y'know, they dared to challenge Israel's actions. Yep, that's where we are.

Tariff wars, Trump capitulates, no surprises.

Fuhrage's private company has banned the flying of the Ukraine flag at the Councils it controls. Could there be a better sign that he's a Russian asset?

Dear media. It isn't "British" steel because: 1 - the Scunthorpe plant was owned by a Chinese company; 2 - various Govts have allowed plants in other parts of Britain to close, most recently the Indian owned plant in Port Talbot.

So, China has imposed a 34% tariff on all goods from the USA. Well, in 2024, the USA exported $13.35bn of oil seed, fruits, grain etc to China. Guess this doesn't bode well for the US agricultural sector. Great job Trump, you absolute idiot.

All economists today (I paraphrase) - Trump is an economically inept moron & everyone will suffer because of his idiocy.

Afternoon everyone, just a quick reminder to be like "Gary's economics" and not like Starmer's continuity Tory Govt. Cheers.

For all you rugby people, Lithuania v Czechia in Rugby Europe's Trophy competition (division 3 in Europe) is streaming live on Rugby Europe's YouTube channel.

Morning everybody. A reminder - don't buy goods from the USA whilst Trump / MAGA are in power. Cheers.

Re: Zelensky not wearing a suit, note this 👇

Despite all the madness happening, today is a good day. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Dydd gwyl Dewi hapus / Happy St David's day.

Canada, 51st state? Nope, the USA is a Russian province. Courtesy of Trump & his lickspittle GOP friends.

Every single British politician should be denouncing Trump & supporting Zelensky.

After that press conference, I think we know that the USA is now fully aligned with Russia.

Is Nigel Farage a Russian asset? Just asking.

For all you USA people, the price of a dozen free range eggs in Sainsbury's (a well known but not the cheapest UK supermarket) is £2.70 / $3.41. Sorry.

Popping up everywhere - Trump's KGB codename was / is "Krasnov."

Just watched a video on the cost of healthcare in the USA. So, I calculated how much tax I pay to fund the UK National Health Service. Context - I'm retired & live in Wales, UK. Annually, via tax, the NHS costs me £270 ($335 / €324). That's for all treatments, all drugs, everything.

After a weekend of watching international rugby galore, forget about the 6 Nations, Wales would struggle against teams in the Rugby Europe Championship (.div 2 in Europe).

This is the reality of Reform. They want healthcare via private insurance. A vote for Reform will seriously injure your health & pocket. 👇

Georgia v The Netherlands live now on Rugby Europe TV. Kicked off at 11 am, GMT.

We're still reaping the "benefits" of the Milton Friedman inspired Reagan/Thatcher economic nonsense, aren't we. Except now it comes with the added "bonus" of extreme right-wing populism/ fascism. What times we live in.

Wilco's latest mini-album / EP, "Hot Sun Cool Shroud," is very good. Got the CD last weekend. If you can, give it a listen.

Politicians, face the truth? No, not whilst they're terrified of the right-wing press & (now) oligarchs.

Downing Street's Head of Communications, Matthew Doyle, needs to up his game. Labour have not had a good start in Govt & the right-wing media are using every opportunity to smash them.

Rachel Reeves reported as considering cuts to disability benefits. This is bad news on so many levels. Stupidity.
