About time @nytimes.com ! Although nicely done. The original is obviously still the best 😉 @vcorenmitchell.bsky.social #OnlyConnect #Connections

Brilliant analysis of the week in politics in Wales. I hope all parties pay close attention to these guys, and @willhaycardiff.bsky.social, as we approach the May election. Still slightly lost on the merits and influence of tactical voting under the new system, however

Ethnicities. And identities. Are. Made. Up. We get to choose. Someone can be a Leeds native, a Yorkshireman, a Brit BUT not English. Just take me out and throw me in the sea. I’m done.

@ohgodwhatnow.bsky.social Farewell to @dorianlynskey.bsky.social. Really enjoyed your hosting of this show over the years. Hope to hear more from you elsewhere, as well as more Origin Stories

god, the feeding frenzy around Rayner is obnoxious. It looks pretty clear that she took and acted on advice in good faith that was given in good faith. Rules around trusts are complicated, FFS.

This whole summer only one story has dominated our entire politics & it comes down to literally 30,000 people in hotels. Ridiculous. The government needs to get a GRIP it’s pathetic.

All about trees and woods, from the perspective of a very thoughtful tree climber. #forestry #arb #trees youtube.com/watch?v=hw98...

Thank you all - we’ve raised over £5k for Ride for Tim. I kind of don’t want to celebrate this, because it’s the most tragic reason that we’re even here. But we wanted to make some kind of difference so here we are. I would so love to reach £10k 🙏 www.givewheel.com/fundraising/...

Amen (😈) to all of this👇 Such a powerful episode (esp on subject of faith in education). Da iawn @willhaycardiff.bsky.social Also at podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/f...

I’ve just listened to this absolute masterpiece. @sturdyalex.bsky.social’s Podyssey is an extraordinary feat and a deep, deep joy. I really advise you to take time to listen!

A few photos from this morning’s ride in Bannau Brycheiniog

No better way to start the day 😎 #MTBWales #UKMTB #BannauBrycheiniog #TrekMTB

So what's the deal with Northern Ireland and Trump's blanket tariffs? 1. Under the Windsor Framework, the Brexit deal for NI, Northern Ireland is part of the UK customs territory. Goods produced in NI are treated as UK goods. So, NI exports to the US should be treated like any other UK export.

🫏 Ninety (90) minutes. Over 150 hours of work. 4 sleepless nights. 🫏 You better help this do well or next week it's THE FURIES for you! 👻

A podcast series that does not just deserve a listen, it’s so richly produced that it deserves multiple listens

This is so good

This was brilliant fun. Love how these folks make a genuine effort to bring Welsh politics and issues to a wider audience.

Contender for 2025’s worst ensh!ttification move, and will alienate the fan base even further. Bye bye Discovery+, and all the cycling sports that I’ve enjoyed following #ukcycling #ukmtb

I expect it's quite sensibly joined a union and is looking for better working conditions, paid holidays etc.

We're hiring!

It's been a terrible week. A terrible, terrible week. The worst people on earth are full of energy and vigour, the best are defined by anxiety and self-doubt. Here are three simple rules to surviving the next four years, because by God we'll need them iandunt.substack.com/p/a-little-b...

What an inspiration. Please donate if you can - Air Ambulance is so important to rural communities - but worth a watch either way www.facebook.com/share/r/15b8...

Have @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social & Rory Stewart just gone & solved the small boats crisis in their latest episode of @restispolitics.bsky.social? Huge if so! So I've looked into it... www.youtube.com/watch?v=toFk...

Brilliant day with @absolutemtb.bsky.social crew at BPW. Half the hill is now in my garden/washing machine but I’m pleased with progress made during the day, having not been for 8yrs. Photo shows the conditions quite accurately, although I think it must be photoshopped #NotJumpyNotGrumpy

Nicer than expected spin around Ystradfellte- not a lot of water in the Afon Nedd for this time of year #UKMTB #MTB #BannauBrycheiniog #Trek #Ystradfellte

I've done a starter pack. Here you go.

Yes, this amazed me too

There are a handful of people in my world who I can always rely on to cut through the noise with experienced, educated common sense and balance. Spot on from @suepritch.bsky.social

Ah, Janey, you saw the truth in things as well as the humour.

Japanese Garden, Beale Wildlife Park

Enjoyed a cheeky day off for a ride in West Oxfordshire, including cake at Aston Pottery

Sunny Sundays are the best. Photo from Muswell Hill, near Brill, which I last cycled over 25 years ago, on a MTB 😎

This is a fascinating story, well told

The full interview. A very hard read (I'm in tears) but incredibly impressive. www.thetimes.com/article/09f3...

Oh, my…

“Hey!” to all the new followers - @bikefit.bsky.social ‘s starter pack has been brilliant for building the cycling community on here. I ride trails and tarmac, mostly in and around the Brecon Beacons. Looking forward to getting to know everyone 🚲 😎

Probably should link to the actual starter pack Forgive me, I’m a noob go.bsky.app/9LYNVCs

This was one of the best conferences I’ve attended in a long time. Excellent speakers and everyone sharing their passion for forestry and trees 🌳 🌲

Perfectly put @sturdyalex.bsky.social @quietriotpod.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/q...

I very much recommend that you watch "Ends" by Ahir Shah on Netflix. It will make you laugh, it will make you cry, it will make you think and it will stay with you.

This was so beautifully articulated, @sturdyalex.bsky.social Another brilliant episode and recorded in the middle of the night too!

Bank Holiday leg/lung buster up to 725m, and the Trig is indeed still there #UKMTB #UKcycling

“Back in 2016, Wales voted narrowly to Leave the EU, but now favours joining the EU by 57% to 25% - almost the same numbers as a very pro-EU London. Scotland still leads the country with the highest proportion of voters wanting to get back in the club.” WOWZERS, @pimlicat.bsky.social!
