A useful read for fellow UNISON members ahead of the General Secretary election: jmknight.substack.com/p/opinion-no...

An important listen for anyone interested in the future of professional sport in Newport, and what it means for the local economy and culture in general

The only way to save Welsh rugby as a cultural force is to go back in time to the start, tweak the rules so it's incompatible with the rest of the sport, and it becomes (South) Wales' answer to GAA. It was always going to fade out Old but still relevant: disposableeverything.com/2020/03/03/t...

Only just come across this article by @garethleaman Its fantastic. Idris Davies in one of my favourite poets somewhat unsurprisingly being both from Gwent and a Socialist. Highly recommend giving this a read. www.cwlwm.cymru/p/these-trou...

Just as I'm contemplating getting properly stuck into Idris Davies, I find this great piece by @garethleaman.bsky.social ’Thus the land is set, its name embedded into history, its etymology a portent of its future meanings: Gwent is a market.' www.cwlwm.cymru/p/these-trou...
