Herbert William Garratt 1864–1913 Newcastle Central, c. 1909, oil on canvas Science and Industry Museum, Manchester My grandfather Cyril Davis was a train driver back in the steam age, and would have enjoyed this kind of view. Fantastic painting!

This is really interesting I think - explains who owns government debt, and why government spending won't really cause a Liz Truss type market reaction as Starmer and Reeves try to tell us. www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1oO...

Do you understand how utterly fucking stupid this sounds? www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Is it a UFO? A giant cigarette lighter? No - it’s a water tower! Built c1966 to improve the water pressure for housing estates recently constructed in Pentrebane – and now repurposed for mobile technology #Cardiff #iconic #1960s #design #quirky #buildings

It's been reported that UEFA is actively considering banning Israel. But it won’t happen unless we continue to ramp up the pressure. Write to Britain’s Football Associations to demand they take urgent steps to push for Israel to be banned from UEFA and FIFA palestinecampaign.eaction.org.uk/banIsrael

I can't for the life of me think of a worse sporting event than the Ryder Cup.

ID cards to stop migrants working in the black economy won't work. The clue is in the words "black economy"!

This poll predicts 23 of 32 Welsh Westminster seats being won by Reform, with 6 seats being held/won by @plaidcymru.bsky.social(including Cardiff West) leaving only the other 3 Cardiff seats 2 be held by Labour. The May Senedd 2026 election fast approaches! Cymru we have again been warned!

As a Unison member for over 30 years, this is just another outrage. Abolish Labour Link, it's a literal rotten borough in our union. Let conference and the NEC make all decisions on our relationship with Labour, including the decision to disaffiliate.

Layer upon layer of pure evil www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Thank you to Cardiff County Branch for their nomination!

Corbyn did not want to be co-leader and did not accept the vote. Encouraged by advisers who believed in his exclusive right to lead, he successfully insisted on the winding up of the committee as punishment. Oversight was vested in the Independent Alliance MPs morningstaronline.co.uk/article/your...

“Four days after Russia started a war, they were suspended,” Cantona said. “We are now over 700 days into what Amnesty International has called a genocide, and yet Israel continues to play.” morningstaronline.co.uk/article/cant...

This farcical situation with Zarah Sultana and Corbyn/the others is really fucking depressing. JFC what is wrong with people?

Meanwhile in Cardiff we get face scanning at sports events and in shopping centres.

Keir Starmer did this.

Two of the world's all time worst people get on shock.

You really do have to admire the absolute commitment to free speech in America these days.

A fantastic, if somewhat wet, day out at the Cardiff Transport Preservation Group Autumn Running Day in Barry. Checking out the AEC Matador (1944), plus rides on the Leyland Tiger (1952), AEC Regent (1963) and Leyland (1981) before repairing to the newly reopened Two Bells for pints of Murphys!

"We do not call for individual acts of assassination, not because the powerful do not deserve to be challenged, but because such acts almost always strengthen the very machinery we are trying to dismantle." theslowburningfuse.wordpress.com/2025/09/13/c...

Nice cartoon summary of the "Robinson is a Groyper" theory.

"It’s an indictment of our times that the ruling class, having made any and every act of disruptive defiance to business as usual illegal, is seemingly no longer of the opinion that it needs to even pretend to justify its own laws through consistent use." freedomnews.org.uk/2025/09/11/d...

Jeremy Corbyn talks about Mandelson youtu.be/X0dP38aqNKA?...

So much for 1st Amendment Constitutional "free speech," eh?

The reporting on Charlie Kirk’s killer in the UK & US highlights again how fundamentally ill equipped mainstream media is to report on political violence in the digital age. They do not know anything about online far right meme culture & it’s starting to do real harm. #r4today

Even Grok is calling the shooter a groyper. Lmao

Interesting stats.

Really looking forward to this Cardiff Transport Preservation Group event in Barry on Sunday.

The first software sold by Microsoft cost $200 in 1975. This is an original copy of 8K BASIC on paper tape for the MITS Altair 8800 computer. The BASIC interpreter was written by Bill Gates, Paul Allen & Monte Davidoff. Paper tape was a common method for storing programs and data in the 60s and 70s

Banksy satirised the state silencing those opposed to Israel’s genocide. The state then inadvertently made his artwork genius.

The latest slapstick from our Keystone Kops government ...

His relationship with football is a perfect miniature of his failings as a communicator. Hampered by wheeling around in a tiny little ideological space, unable to say anything that doesn’t sound like a low-spec replicant pretending to understand human feelings. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

A giant mural of Cardiff City legend Sol Bamba has been unveiled in Cardiff today - and drone footage showed the scale of the stunning artwork

After two years' in Dartmoor, he returned to the shoe business, rising through the ranks at Blindells and eventually becoming a financial backer of Plymouth Argyle Football Club in the 1950s. He died a reasonably wealthy businessman in Cheltenham, aged 75 in 1999. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If Farage wins the next election, it will be down to one person. His name is Keir Starmer. This thread explains why. 1. Destroying faith in democracy. The UK decisively voted out the Tories, only for Starmer to give us a Continuity Tory government, shamefully beholden to economic power. 🧵

The Met have made many false claims and attempts to smear the protesters. This is a desperate deflection after Sir Mark Rowley pledged the Met would arrest every person who held a sign saying “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action” Which the Met factually did not do.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social raises the issue of the super rich & companies giving money to politicians Labour MP Meg Hillier pretends to be aghast - are you suggesting ministers make decisions because of those donations? Zack: "Those people don't give them.. millions of pounds for nothing"

A great day out in the sunshine at Llanmelin Wood Hillfort and Gray Hill Stone Circle - thanks again @cambriansarch.bsky.social for the walk and talk!

My home town of Tredegar. Working class people had a hard time before the war, then an even harder time during it. A real shame that the slightly better world that was built following the war has been taken apart over the past 50 years, including by this shabby government, right now.

The Nobel Peace Prize is inexorably moving closer to Trump's grasp
