Do we have a new anthology project in mind? Oh yes! Find out more here: www.kickstarter.com/...

Reform's plans to end indefinite leave to remain go to the post I wrote last week on their slide towards chaotic authoritarianism. The British constitution would allow them to do it if they had a majority but at vast cost to our society and way of life. samf.substack.com/p/the-route-...

Thanks @emilypricejourno.bsky.social about the shambles at Reform in Cymru

Great discussion between @thewelshdm.bsky.social and @mikerunderwood.bsky.social about our upcoming Daggerheart release, Wondrous Environments. Mike and Gethin go deep into Environment design and the Daggerheart philosophy. Well worth a watch! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztBg...

World Rugby want to grow the game..... So, amongst other clashes - who's bright idea was it for the Women's World Cup final to kick off 10 mins before the Rugby Championship's match between SA and ARG 🤔

People have been asking us to bring Nine Lessons to Wales for AGES and this year we are. Dec 9th in Cardiff! Get your tickets now from cosmicshambles.com/ninelessons

We are <£200 away from our second stretch goal with Wondrous Environments. This is exciting. More Locations for everyone maybe... www.kickstarter.com/projects/the...

Just done a lovely thread on X about the WRU consultation / survey, so thought that I would add it here too ... first things first - the overriding purpose of a sporting governing body is to protect and to promote that specific sport. Above all else. Even above profit and financial success.

thoughtful - we don't want to end up as a Chinese mega-farm

Tommy Robinson is lying about the police estimate, by a factor of nearly thirty, to turn 110,000 into 3 million. He is spinning "MILLIONS" quite hard. It is a lie.

Don’t recall BBC News leading with any of the myriad marches for Palestine, #PeoplesVote or #Rejoin. How very odd. How very strange. How very expected.

#frogfacedfarage. "Rules are for you not me" ,,,

Feel that stretch.......

Questions remain about an investigation into Reform MS Laura Anne Jones, who had been accused of instructing her staff to submit false expenses claims and sign a Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA) blocking them from speaking out on the matter✍️Emily Price wp.me/p8Mk4U-15qQ

Can't quite process the fact that my first Kickstarter (along with some wonderful other people) goes live in basically 24 hours Who'd have thought we'd get here, from a starting point of being annoyed by the Fighter class in 5e, to making content for Daggerheart www.kickstarter.com/projects/the...

What utter dickheads we are… Rayner fought for workers: sick pay, maternity rights, protection from unfair dismissal Farage and his MPs voted it down Rayner gets binned over £40k in stamp duty Farage dodges £44k, shrugs & strolls on The mega wealthy win again.

Worrying long term hidden fiscal drag The family income threshold at which English students maintenance loans start to get reduced is just £25,000/yr. It has been this level since the 2008/2009 academic year. We have had 64% (CPI) inflation since then. So it's been slashed hugely in real terms

Find out about the alternate Welsh rugby survey that fans have built to give people a chance to speak out and feedback on matters not addressed in the official WRU survey. theeastterrace.com/gwladrugby-o...

What if polling about immigration wasn't actually helpful?

Drawn from a supporter's response to the WRU's survey, this fan's view of the consultation process and the WRU's culpability for the state of Welsh rugby is damning. And far from unique. gwladrugby.wordpress.com/2025/09/02/a...

An Echo Chamber of Excuses gwladrugby.wordpress.com/2025/09/02/a...

Wow!

Holy crap this is exciting - my latest book now has a cover and in available for preorder! It breaks down how Cymru has been let down by successive governments both in London and Cardiff. But it also shows how the very system itself is setup for Wales to fail. 1/2

"Revenue generated by the British and Irish Lions rugby tour to Australia has helped the hosts to be debt-free for the first time since 2021. The nine-match, three-Test tour Down Under allowed Rugby Australia to pay off the £30m it owed Pacific Equity Partners having taken out a £39m loan in 2023."

The consultation paper published by the WRU today on its proposed changes is quite something. Vague, ill-defined and riddled with leading questions, it doesn't once mention its proposed solution. A 14-step plan to wean yourself off Welsh rugby gwladrugby.wordpress.com/2025/09/01/a...

Utter bollocks as usual. The only mention of the ECHR was in confirming that it wasn't considered at all by the judges. Deliberate lying to incite hatred and division by the the frog-faced gobshite.

The way Tice keeps going on about this, you'd almost think he'd received £2.3m from people with links to fossil fuels and climate change denial. Oh, hang on...

I really don't think people get how powerful a Reform government with a majority would be given they have no regard for convention etc... our system gives total power to the executive with almost no checks and balances.

Wondrous Environments is here to expand your Daggerheart experience. Dozens of Environment stat blocks, lore, loot, and Adversaries to drop into your next Daggerheart adventure and amaze your players! Follow the link to be notified when we launch #Daggerheart www.kickstarter.com/projects/the...

🧵Did some analysis with a bit of help on that WRU slide deck. I’d appreciate if you could take a look, especially people involved with data. ymlaencymru.com/consultation/

Not many farmers would tell you that we need to eat less meat; that wealthy landowners shouldn’t moan about inheritance tax but should “pay the whole fucking lot”; & that Reform UK are “a load of rich rightwing toffs” 😂 But Devon farmer Guy Singh-Watson does: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

63% of people think net migration rose in the last 12 months 8% of people think it fell Yet it fell by 400,000 in 2024 vs 2023 [It is falling further in 2025] Public service broadcasters are doing a core part of their job on this topic badly if that 8% is not closer to 30% at least

The WRU will launch its consultation on the future of the game in Wales on Wednesday. If it gets this wrong, we might as well all walk away. Supercharging into oblivion? gwladrugby.wordpress.com/2025/08/19/s...

Jaymey McIvor (who the Tories kicked out for sending dick pics) is now Reform's Director of Local Government. His job is to make sure councils are run efficiently. A company he ran went bust in March owing £141,025, so he sounds ideal. bylinetimes.com/2025/08/12/b...

It saves us money directly with cheaper car insurance and indirectly with less accidents costing the NHS etc Let alone the impact if you were involved in an accident

But some still won't slow down - how much better could it be?

I have been working on a documentary for Radio 4 about the rise of Reform in Wales. It will go out this Sunday at 1.30pm and then be on BBC Sounds. I had never written or presented a radio doc before. It was so cool to do this. A huge thanks to Overcoat Media for the opportunity.

Palestinian children have been killed at a rate of more than one child per hour during Israel's war in Gaza. “A whole classroom of children killed every day for nearly two years,” UNICEF’s executive director said. Here are some of their stories: wapo.st/3UCiAjn

Remember this when Reform come visiting!

And will people on this platform please stop reciting the research *funded by the water industry* which claims that renationalisation would be "too expensive"? We should learn to recognise corporate propaganda when we see it. In reality ... www.theguardian.com/business/202...

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT Just over 9 months ago I left WalesOnline to start this newsletter looking in depth at Welsh politics and Welsh issues. The response to this has exceeded my wildest dreams and I have a really exciting announcement - an Investigative Journalism Fund. [Thread]

Clearly, Nadara, Bute Energy and similar firms have a licence to exploit, extract and export Cymru’s natural capital with minor cost to them and minuscule benefit to us. How grand is that? ✍️Neil Anderson

Billboards advertising my newsletter have gone up in Cardiff, Swansea and Newport stations. Regarding the picture on me my mum said: "You look a bit too smug". When I asked what pic I should use instead she said: "They all look like that". Credit HayMan Media for the images

The data breach occurred under Boris Johnson. The superinjunction was put in place under Rishi Sunak, who then kept it in place via the Court of Appeal in 2024. Labour ordered a review then lifted the injunction. Conclusion: it's all Labour’s fault.
