I mean I've been cynical about banning kids from using smartphones but now I'm thinking I might have to do it just in case they're accidentally added to a message group that implicates them in war crimes.

Wales has been screwed over by its own Labour MPs. The 27 Welsh Labour MPs voted to deny Wales millions of £ in the coming years. When I approached them they gave very weak excuses for their actions. Stay with me here because it's a bit fiddly but really matters. [Thread]

People are understandably getting energised about this from a partisan point of view but the overarching point is surely that each one of these decisions to keep Wales disempowered vs Scotland/England/NI makes us disproportionately poorer. This is what I don’t understand from a social democrat POV.

It is my opinion the hardest part about being an avid reader in a house of non-readers (maybe excluding my daughter’s love for Manga) is that no one lets you read. All favors, chores and questions are saved for when there is a book in my hand.

Here's a good way to depress yourself. Try putting in your starting salary from your first job and seeing what that would be worth today. Mine was £22,000 in 1997 and would now be worth £42,427. But if it were advertised today, it would be around £25,000

Bryn Celli Ddu is a remarkable Neolithic passage grave built some 5,000 years ago to align with midsummer sunrise. The rising sun on the longest day of the year lights up the inner burial chamber, where a stone pillar keeps watch from the shadows. Anglesey, Wales 📷 by me
