Daily #Wales with more ‘tropical’ scenes from Cardigan Bay, oh, OK, the Mawddach Trail… Ah, summer. Hm.

Daily #Wales, not so daily ATM (work), but looking forward to summer… Yes, it looks tropical. Nope, it’s Cardigan Bay and the Llyn Peninsula.

Daily #Wales with a distraction from politics (and weather). A walk along the Mawddach Trail, on an incredibly hot day. We kept seeking shade and paddling… sigh.

This is how it's done, ladies. substack.com/@parislychee...

Daily #Wales has been slipping lately (tax return time; politics). Weather? Interesting. Accurate representation of DW yesterday. Don’t know the artist so can’t credit, but feel SEEN.

This afternoon’s meme…

There it is. Farage and Reform would end our NHS. Millions of people could not afford to be ill under a Reform government.

Daily #Wales with the first of the snowdrops in the meadow. Hello spring?

Career attorneys at DOJ walk out over Trump's order that they smear and harass the survivors of Renee Nicole Good. "It's morally depraved conduct," they say. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Hen Galan Hapus! Happy Old New Year! No Mari for Daily #Wales today because I posted about that rap battle tradition earlier. Instead, have snow on the mountains of the north (specifically Yr Wyddfa). Not this year though. This year it’s raining.

Old tweets being deleted now

So Zahawi has joined Reform. Given he was sacked over his HMRC shenanigans (when he was actually chancellor, ie financial bigwig, and only a small matter of some £5m) he should fit right in with that bunch of grifters. Quite how it will play out with their racist supporter base…

Froze my ass off at the Iowa City anti-ICE rally, but it was worth it

Daily #Wales with a throwback to summer a few years ago, and the railway bridge at Bermo / Barmouth

I suppose it’s seasonal… Daily #Wales with a Mari Llwyd. OK, with two, and they aren’t real horse skulls (can’t you tell?). It’s a midwinter thing, and more south Wales than round here, but it’s being revived… 1/2

Stephen needs to watch his back, because Rachel will knife him at the first opportunity #thetraitors

Reform UK's director for Wales has been removed from Cwmbran Community Council for failing to attend meetings. David Thomas is also goes by the names "DJ Dowster" and "Dr Squeegees" (I am not joking). Find out more about Dr Squeegees here: willhaywardwales.substack.com/p/special-re...

Daily #Wales is in snow today - no photos yet, so here’s one from our last big snow dump (by our standards) in 2010/11…

In which Mumsnet women persuade each other that voting Reform will give the establishment “a kick in the arse” Oh well done, you lot. Brexit again. Falling for the con and risking it all, cos that’ll teach them. It won’t. It’ll just ruin life for everyone. Your children most of all. (Sunday Times)

I’ve massively cut down on my use of Amazon, and try to order books from Indies or my local Waterstones. Yes, it’s a bit more expensive but if you’re a middle-class book lover like me, you can probably afford it and it’s a small way of resisting the awfulness of the evil people ruining the world.

Tommy Robinson is a traitor for asking Trump to invade the UK. Any real patriot would be asking Putin.

Reform UK won’t say ‘private’ when talking about the NHS. Richard Tice is calling it ‘independent’: "Instead of giving £26bn to the already bloated wasteful NHS, we proposed easing pressure on the health service by incentivising those who can afford to pay more to go independent with a tax break."

A dictator just launched an illegal war without Congress — that’s what he is if we don’t impeach & remove him from office This is a dark day in American history

If you're still on X: why? I had 270,000 followers when I closed my account. But all I lost was 200,000 bots and trolls. The real people — the funny, the decent, the smart, the interesting — are already here. They'll find you. Leave X. Just do it. It's personal, political and societal poison.

CNN: We have major breaking news. CNN just learning of explosions in Caracas, Venezuela… We have now have CNN's own teams that have personally witnessed explosions.

Reform UK won’t say ‘private’ when talking about healthcare. Richard Tice uses ‘independent’: "Instead of giving £26bn to the already bloated wasteful NHS, we proposed easing pressure on the health service by incentivising those who can afford to pay more to go independent with a tax break."

Daily #Wales with a stick-free potter at Llandanwg (took it, didn’t need it, knee didn’t protest until about 30 minutes in. Physio works … if you do it). It was freezing, though, and populated with cold & complaining holidaymakers. In the other direction!

I’m betting on green-jacket Judy being the secret traitor #TheTraitors - camera was on her a lot, plus would even up the gender balance and give us a POC traitor Also getting irritated TF with Rachel already. First traitor out, please…

BREAKING NEWS: Actual facts appear for the first time on "Truth" Social.

Daily #Wales with a harking back to our most recent snowiest Christmas, 2010, and the woods behind the village. It’s cold enough for snow today, but it’s sunny and fine and it’s not raining (that’s worth noting)

Chatted to my great uncle yesterday – a northern, working-class guy, not that political. I told him my job involved exposing Farage. His first question was: “who funds him?” Investigations into Farage’s donors can have a major impact on Reform’s support – as this research has already shown 👇

Reform UK Review 2025 Reform UK Welsh Leader, Nathan Gill was charged and then found guilty of 8 counts of taking bribes from Russia. Rupert Lowe said Gill was ‘running operations for Farage in the European Parliament’. Gill was a close colleague of Farage over decades.

Reform UK Review 2025 Andrea Jenkyns, Eco Hypocrite Jenkyns complains that solar farms ‘a blight to the countryside and net zero madness’ whilst in the past calling them ‘fantastic leadership and innovation’. She opened a huge solar farm on former farm land when a minister.

The Washington Post has published a scathing attack on the NHS, essentially claiming that socialised medicine doesn’t work. Dreadful. The reason the NHS isn’t working well is that politicians are turning the NHS into a cash cow for private companies 🚨 www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Daniel Lismore Nigel Farage wants the UK out of the European Convention on Human Rights. He has also attacked animal welfare and environmental protections. When someone tells you they want to remove protections, believe them.

Daily #Wales starting the gap between Christmas and New Year in a temper and therefore needing to calm down… Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
