Burnham and Streeting both triangulating like walking protractors. Because that kind of inauthenticity is exactly what has endeared Labour politicians to working class people since the time of Tony Blair, the Great Isosceles himself.

ChatGPT was never Google’s biggest threat; it was always its own hubris. With Search now being sacrificed on the altar of AI dominance, the time has come for users to get serious about moving off Google services. It’s not only destroying its products; it’s trying to further degrade the web itself.

Losing #libraries' stacks space is almost always a terrible idea & I have seen it done for terrible architectural reasons (a grand staircase springs to mind)--but a whole floor!? Someone tell Cardiff U about the "serendipity of discovery"--not only books on shelves but colleagues in the aisles.

Conspiracy confirmed!

The centrist consensus now seems to be coalescing around "the plebs don't like Starmer but can't explain why". It's utterly fucking pathetic and insulting to be honest. This KC guy's chablis-quaffing neighbours are also not exactly going to be the same class of neighbours as mine or yours!

Disgrace even by standards of Cardiff University It's fundamental violation of trust: the Salisbury Collection is a national possession of rare books, not an institutional asset to be discarded at whim The new Welsh Govt must intervene at Cardiff nation.cymru/news/fears-f...

Change continues apace at Cardiff University.

After London marches, Unite the Kingdom and its opponents play the numbers game News, May 18th Saturday’s demo showed that Tommy Robinson has lost the normies, leaving a rump of loyal hooligans ~ Rob Ray ~ freedomnews.org.uk/2026/05/18/a...

Goodness, what uncharacteristically polite coppers.

Where’s the fury about rightwing antisemitism? The newspapers that call out leftwing antisemitism publish antisemitic cartoons and champion politicians with a record of antisemitic statements. So who is holding *them* to account? This week’s column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The Lab right ran a secret & highly destructive campaign to undermine the party in order to regain control. They then hollowed out the membership, dismantled grass roots activity & purged alternative views. Jones this morning: "The Labour party is at its best when it is united"

Aaahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wonderful to see today's antisemitism demo totally not conflating Israel with Jewishness

You didn't "earn" a billions dollars, Jeff Bezos. You *took it* from your poorly paid workers.

"AI, write me a Prime Minister's speech promising change."

Barros-Curtis plays a starring role in Paul Holden's The Fraud, a magnificent expose of Labour Together. He is definitely going to be a single term MP, he can take his parachute back to London when he goes.

This is fairly adjacent to the standard union organiser's handbook and it's always surprised me that political activism has not adopted something like it - with active listening central. Agitate, educate, organise! www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Voted in the Senedd election. And for the Greens for the first time in my life. Seems I'm Team Zack now - though I hope Plaid Cymru "win" this election.

perhaps the most curious fact from our long read today on the Mandelson scandal www.ft.com/content/a829...

The demise of Labour in Wales

Elon Musk accidentally revealing his mom's account is one of his alt's means that he has both impersonated his own infant child and mother online

There is some space in the system for tactical voting but it's harder to game 1 Voting for anyone but Reform to minimise their vote share 2 Voting for Plaid Cymru to ensure they are the largest party 3 Trying to work out who is in line for 6th place and how to make that vote count against Reform

How entirely predictable that Starmer would use Golders Green to try to ban Palestine solidarity rallies. There really is no depth of cynical, self-serving behaviour he won't sink to. And this from the party which demands people's votes to protect our civil liberties from the far right! ~Rr

The Prime Minister has made it clear that as soon as imminent new legislation enabling the suppression of "cumulative" protests has passed, it will be used on pro-Palestinian marches www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Happy International Workers’ Day! ✊️ We’ve marked the occasion by officially opening our Cardiff office after a full refurb, with general secretary Andrea Egan cutting the ribbon. It’s a modern space for members to meet, organise and get support. We’re looking forward to welcoming you. 💜

Goal average was a hell of a thing mind!

TfW at Llandudno Junction appear to be illiterate in both English and Welsh. What kind of unprofessional signmaker are they using that adds the greengrocer's apostrophe? #badsign #tfwrail #apostrophe #grammarpolice #signdesign #llandudnojunction #ukrail #stationsign

Why does it say "Welcome to Cardiff" on the way IN to the station - I'm already in Cardiff. Either this sign should be on the inside of the door for arriving passengers to see, or it should say "Welcome to Cardiff Central station". #Cardiff #tfwrail #signage #railsigns
