Cardiff council has become the sixteenth council in Wales to join the RSPCA-backed movement to mitigate the negative impacts of fireworks on animals, wildlife, and vulnerable people

BREAKING: The government is furious that a jury let off the Filton 6 because some idiot forgot to get rid of jury trials in time for a stitch up. What's the country coming to when we can't even jail innocent people for terrorism? 🤬

What a great poster!

"In 2024 Mr Basha, in his capacity as Chair of Welsh Labour’s BAME committee, jointly issued a statement that wrongly accused Welsh journalists of having racist motives in writing about the scandals involving then First Minister Vaughan Gething."

It’s crazy how Morgan McSweeney just parachuted his wife into a safe seat and everyone was just fine with it. The Labour Party is disgusting.

…over a cover it printed in March 2011 referring to the controversy over the paedophile sex trafficker’s friendship with the then Duke and Duchess of York. 🧵2/5

Once again I get an opportunity to recommend The Fraud - Paul Holden's account of how Starmer and McSweeney took over the Labour Party. It's a must-read.

And what a stunning looking building. So much corporate vandalism.

Musk has been spamming crap about SpaceX and Grok all day but now every single reply to any of his posts is someone calling him a pedophile. the stage has been set for something historic

Ironically, the people who call Cardiff city centre a "no-go area" are the very same people who never in fact go there. The problems of street drinking, ASB and "aggressive" begging are massively exaggerated. Sometimes, as with these Tories, the fear mongering has an agenda.

Labour agitation in Iran and collective action on the part of Iranian workers has been ongoing. Their resistance is distinct from, and in defiance of, attempts by the West to destabilise Iran as they have been doing since the 1953 CIA coup on behalf of BP. classautonomy.info/workers-coun...

In the mercantilist world that emerged in the sixteenth century, rulers believed wealth was finite: if one country gained, another lost. Today the same logic applies to oil, gas, rare earths, or lithium. graceblakeley.substack.com/p/the-empire...

As it would take 45 Reform defections to make the LibDems the official opposition, I guess the answer to this question is 23?

The Labour members in the Senedd are bad enough but the Welsh Labour MPs are just damage. Apparently (and weirdly) it's the Welsh MPs who are to blame for the ridiculous form of PR we have been landed with for Senedd elections. Labour is not on our side! www.politicshome.com/news/article...

When Labour gets wiped out, they will blame everyone else except themselves.

REP. OMAR after being attacked with liquid: “We will continue! These fucking assholes are not gonna get away with this! Here is the reality people like this ugly man don’t understand — we are Minnesota Strong. We’ll stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us.”

“There’s a real dislike, even loathing of Starmer and Reeves,” Luke Tryl, of the More in Common polling organisation, told the FT in December. “In focus groups, people say Starmer is a liar and only said what he thought he needed to say to get elected.” morningstaronline.co.uk/article/guar...

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies. For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

I'm not a Green voter but this is an utterly remarkable party promo. And - very rarely for a film like this - it left me feeling more like voting Green than I did previously. Great work from Polanski. I'm definitely leaning now!

South African test player Paul Adams had a hell of a bowling action and a respectable record of 134 wickets in 45 tests played between 1995 and 2004. Great picture of the contortions his action entailed.

What would it mean in terms of seats? It puts Plaid well ahead of Reform and, if correct, would allow Plaid Cymru to form a majority coalition without Labour.

Holy crap there's a new poll for Wales and it is crazy. It puts Plaid well ahead of Reform with the Greens beating Labour. The results of this YouGov/ITV Cymru Wales/Cardiff Uni were: Plaid 37% (+7) Reform 23 (-6) Green 13 (+7) Labour 10 (-4) Conservatives 10 (-1) Lib Dem 5 (-1) Other 2 (-2) 1/3

Keir Starmer is so universally despised - right across the spectrum and including in his own cabinet - that it's genuinely weird when weird Starmer cranks seek to speak up for him on here. It's almost like they are doing it for a bet. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Nasty offences very much akin to - if not actually - sexual assault, committed by Swindon captain Ollie Clarke against 2 unnamed Cardiff players. Notably this was a Cup game and Cardiff fielded a team largely consisting of younger players. Clarke is 33.

All 4 Labour MPs in Cardiff are truly terrible. Doughty isn't even the worst of them - that's a contest between the atrocious Jo Stephens and Alex Barros-Curtis who features heavily in Paul Holden's book, The Fraud.

I know it's hard to shock these days but Elon Musk going full Rhodesia defender and calling for the ethnic cleansing of the US should still shock you. These are neo nazi views that were only previously shared on explicitly neo nazi sites.

The Fraud - Paul Holden's expose of Starmer, McSweeney and their crew is brilliantly researched and written. He's going to be in Cardiff talking about the book with the admirable Beth Winter and Andrew Feinstein on Monday 19th Jan.

Keir Starmer has outdone himself today. Our most embarrassing Prime Minister since ... well, not that long. But in his own way he's as embarrassing as Johnson and Truss. Which is really going some.

Nature. Red and black in tooth and claw.

Conspiracism assigns tiny cabals of evildoers a superhuman power to control events. It frames social conflict in terms of a transcendent struggle between Good and Evil. In tracing all wrongdoing to one vast plot, conspiracism plays fast and loose with the facts. threewayfight.org/epsteins-gho...
