Rhun ap Iorwerth wants to take the Welsh Government’s international work to a “new level” despite a “clampdown” from London I interviewed the Plaid Cymru leader in Brussels this week about what he says is the new “dividing line” in Welsh politics nation.cymru/news/rhun-ap...

In an interview with NationCymru during a visit to the European Parliament this week, Rhun ap Iorwerth said he is braced for a ‘further clampdown’ on the Welsh Government’s international outreach✍️ Luke James wp.me/p8Mk4U-1hN1

Christmas in Cardiff isn’t complete without a visit to Wally’s so enjoyed reading the new history of the shop over the holidays A really interesting social history of Cardiff and a timely reminder it’s a city built by migrants, in this case Polish Jews escaping the holocaust

Doncaster home today for City, a fixture which has previously delivered our joint highest scoring win of the last 50 years I was taken to Ninian Park for the first time for the next league game, which inevitably ended 0-0 #Bluebirds

'Betrayed' voters, 'desperate' messaging and the 'sidelining' of Welsh Labour by Starmer - Mick Antoniw has well and truly broken with our tradition as the land of the pulled punch in his analysis of Labour's campaign in Caerffili labourlist.org/2025/11/wels...

Bolton oddi gatref heddiw ond dwi’n hedfan i gêm Caerdydd am y tro cynta felly mae’n teimlo’n bach mwy egsotig Flying to a City game for the first time which is making Bolton away feel quite exotic #AdarGleisonRhyngwladol 🐦🌍

Bolton away tomorrow and thankfully they’ve now got Josh Sheehan running their midfield instead Jay-Jay Okacha with Youri Djorkaeff to come off the bench (although we actually won this one 2-1) #Bluebirds

Caerphilly, Senedd constituency by-election result: PC: 47.4% (+19.0) REF: 36.0% (+34.2) LAB: 11.0% (-34.9) CON: 2.0% (-15.3) GRN: 1.5% (+1.5) LDEM: 1.5% (-1.2) GWL: 0.3% (+0.3) UKIP: 0.2% (+0.2) Plaid Cymru GAIN from Labour.

Normalising the Vote Leave playbook on statistics is surely storing up trouble if you’re in a fight with Farage

Give friendly selection back to the blazers. The blazers gave us the Basque Country away, Croatia away in August, and the Kirin Cup in Japan. This ahead of the Belgium game is insane #ENGWAL

Cardiff have got a lad known as ‘Tankie’ playing on the left wing tonight and there’s a Trott on the bench. We might have to go back to playing in red

Mixed memories of our last couple of cup matches against County. Lost the semi final of the Premier Cup in 2003 on pens despite putting out a strong team (bar Andrew Jordan who missed a penalty, obviously) to face a County team including City legends Jason Perry and Jeff Eckhart

“Jo Stevens puts on her metaphorical feathered hat and, like a colonial governor speaking to a legislative council back in Victorian times, she just says no” Vaughan Roderick’s striking assessment of the attitude of the Secretary of State for Wales towards the Welsh Government

In his first speech as Prime Minister, Keir Starmer promised the government would “tread more lightly on your lives”. Hard to believe that was only a year ago

On a visit to Barcelona in 1978, Gwynfor Evans praised the “tenacity with which Catalunya has clung to her national traditions and language” and said countries like Wales and Catalonia “can become islands of hope in a world where the very existence of humanity is threatened” #Diada2025

Newydd mynd i gefnogi ein tîm lleol newydd, KFC Wambeek-Ternat, am y tro cynta Fantastic set up and my kid can say his first football match was a 0-0 in fifth tier of Belgian football. A born football hipster

Not the best but Celtic would have taken an ugly win in Kazakhstan. Un cam yn nes at gwpan y byd #KAZWAL

The aesthetics of games in this part of the world aren’t what they used to be. Liked it back in the day when BBC Wales used the grainy local TV feed with exotic graphics and adverts against a background of emergency service vehicles round a disused running track #KAZWAL

Hyfryd i weld Dylan Lawlor yn canu'r anthem llawn balchder♥️So good to see Cardiff doing our bit for the national team again

I'm always very envious on Wales match days of countries with good newspapers. There's an 11 page preview of Belgium Liechtenstein in the paper here today. Wales' more important game in Kazakhstan gets one page of Press Association copy in the Western Mail

Brussels’ famous Manneken Pis has more than a thousand costumes from countries around the world, but few have as much historical significance as his outfit from Wales ✍️Luke James

On this day in 1945, the Manneken Pis was dressed in Welsh Guards uniform to celebrate the liberation of Brussels by Welsh troops exactly a year earlier Today Brussels’ first citizen received a new uniform to renew the “bond of friendship between Wales and Belgium”

Travelling to Paris in December to watch Cardiff Rugby. I wouldn’t open the curtains if East Wales were playing in my garden The WRU want to lay off their American management tutorials on YouTube and learn from Vincent Tan’s climb down when he tried to change our football club

Wimbledon (a) 58/92 Would have been nice if we’d given Salech any service during the 90 but you can’t complain about last minute limbs

Crazy how some of Cardiff’s nicest spaces are mostly deserted Did we really need to replace the Wharf with more flats? Can’t we use some of it as a lido with a nice cafe?

Wearing matching kits around the holiday park got to be right up there among the joys of parenting. Neighbours are jacks as well #JuniorBluebirds
