🚨 This scene comes to us from Iowa. The man recording this atrocious attack on an innocent man makes it clear that he is a combat veteran, and explains that he is going to video their crimes and he is not to be touched: “I will knock you the fuck out.” 1/2

Daily #Wales still enjoying this weather (making the most of it!)

Daily #Wales is announcing the arrival of Haf Bach Mihagell or St Michael’s little summer - normally so reliable there’s an expression for it. We didn’t thikitwoud happen this year, but here we are. Hooray! Castell Harlech with Yr Wyddfa / Snowdon in the background

Daily #Wales with an equinoctal walk along the beach yesterday afternoon. Stunning weather (and my January-injured knee even behaved; physiotherapy works) The colour of the sea!

I thought it was about time there was a new intro for me (and Daily #Wales). I’m in Eryri/Snowdonia, and am mildly obsessed with photographing it. Officially, I’m a food & wine editor, but also a spinner and knitter and an ex-archaeologist. I’m centre left and disgusted by the right ✊.

This is what politicization of the Justice Department results in.

Daily #Wales with a pic from a previous autumn equinox, attempting to detect the bats flitting around in the garden. (They stayed inside until I put the detector away)

Daily #Wales has been a bit bogged down in work (etc) lately - so not quite as daily. Also, foul weather = reliance on the archives. One from September a couple of years ago, it’ll be much wilder now (if I could get there):

Reform UK further enhance their image as the party of ordinary people by welcoming Danny Kruger, the Eton/Oxford educated son of multi millionaire parents.

Daily #Wales with something comparatively restful for Sunday

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

Daily #Wales with sheep. Inevitably. Weather coming in - also, at the moment, inevitably.

It should be prime time news. The effect of decades of austerity and gross under-funding, PFI, the Health and Social Care Act 2012, the failure of government after government to deal with the obvious result of an ageing population, all compounded by the insanity of #Brexit #BrexitBrokeBritain

Reform UK Councillors Mandy Clare arrested for assault and criminal damage Sam Journet arrested for stalking and harassment Daniel Taylor arrested for threatening to kill his wife Andy Osborn police probe over malicious election comments

Light aircraft robustness irritates me no end!

Calming Daily #Wales needed today (along with the reminder that Farage’s Reform intends to destroy our Senedd and what little independence we have if elected in the UK)… Sod that. This is at Castell y Bere, one of the castles of the Welsh princes, and this represents the insignia of Glyndŵr.

Funny… I remember when they promised Brexit would do that.

Reform UK think-tank plans Trump-style constitutional changes. DICTATORSHIP. Weaken the authority of judiciary, civil service. Farage to issue Trump-like orders. Emasculated parliament, obedient judiciary, goodbye democracy, farewell the NHS , hello fascism. Legacy for future? archive.ph/49xWE

Rayner was careless about her stamp duty liability in Brighton and paid the political price for lack of due diligence. Farage - as is now on the public record - lied about his stamp duty situation in Clacton yet carries on regardless.

If you spend just 5 mins researching Nigel Farage's partner Laure Ferrari you will suddenly see clearly how much the media chooses to ignore the big stories for political gain. For a start no one seems to be asking where an unemployed former waitress found £900k to buy a house outright in Clacton

Reform isn’t normal politics. It’s racist nostalgia weaponised ,and America shows exactly where that leads.

“Unless we act we could see deaths in this country running at several thousand a day,” said Boris Johnson as he forced the nation into lockdown for the second time. A day later he hosted a secret dinner for the Tory peer who funded a lavish refurbishment of his Downing Street flat

While in office, Johnson appears to have held a secret meeting with Peter Thiel, the billionaire who founded the controversial US data firm Palantir, months before it was given a role managing NHS data. theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Daily #Wales with a random pic to start the week… and a low, low tide at Llandanwg

Ed Balls, "Children losing their lives to measles, and you just laugh it off?" Richard Tice, "But isn't the joy that we've been able to debate this now, and, said that, yeah, that's obviously, probably, completely and utterly daft" That time Reform tried to justify platforming an anti vaxer

Reform UK Councillor Jim O’Neill has deleted this post, but we think it’s important to share as it’s pretty spot on. Tories 2.0 (but only their rejects).

Duckworth: "Let's make it clear -- the President of the United States essentially just declared war on a major city in his own nation. This is not normal. This is not acceptable behavior."

Again, after the coverage of Reform's conference these last couple of days, it can not be stressed enough what the choice is at the next GE. Fascism or stopping Fascism. That's it. Sorry folks, everything else is small change in comparison.

Lucy Connolly was convicted of inciting racial hatred, and her tweet was part of the tinder that lit violence, intimidation, looting, and thuggery across England last year. The fact Reform conference gave her a standing ovation says everything about that movement. bylinetimes.com/2025/08/27/l...

Attempting to rig elections on his behalf. Turning the military on citizens. Toying with the idea of declaring martial law. Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out against his regime. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

"Farage has given two contradictory versions of the purchase. One that he bought it and the other that his girlfriend owns it. If the second is correct then he has ­engineered a massive saving on stamp duty, larger than the one that forced Angela Rayner to resign." www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

On the same day in the Telegraph:

If you align your company with a fascist political party hell ben on destroying the UK then you've lost my business.

What on earth has possessed people to believe that Reform’s motley collection of our most abysmal, prejudiced and corrupt politicians - all with a proven track record of epic and piss-taking failure would be a remotely credible government? Seriously people… and media… you’ve lost your goddam minds.

A spot more local archaeology to end the week for today’s Daily #Wales - our double chambered tomb (just behind the village school and opposite the Spar)…

A spot more archaeology for today’s Daily #Wales, my favourite chambered tomb (well, it’s a neighbour. One of my neighbours. Studied NBI, now - coincidentally - completely surrounded by the Neolithic, Bronze and Iron Ages.)

Daily #Wales with a spot of restorative archaeology (honest - it’s a hut circle, Iron Age). The hawthorns frame the entrance. Best once the bracken dies back, as here. Looking forward to visiting again soon … (love autumn)

Fortified hut settlement above Rachub: One of North Wales' lesser forts, on a hill above Rachub near Bethesda. #HillfortsWednesday Not even a fort, a settlement, a fortified one though. Here's a nice artists' impression of it. 📷 TAlanJones More: http://www.megalithi...

Please share. Hateful groups are popping up all over Facebook (I don’t have FB, haven’t for years) so no doubt Insta, WhatsApp too, unmoderated.

Daily #Wales has a meeting in Dolgellau today, with possibly the most beautiful journey…

This is a well-written article. We need more like this in a national level. manchestermill.co.uk/manchester-f...

Sure, no problem, as long as the frog faced cunt gives up his EU pension..... no? Didn't think so. Also, you only get a pension out if you've put something in, so blaming immigration is just another dog whistle to his moron followers.

"The lunatics are running the asylum."

Daily #Wales to start September (always a favourite month). Pic taken now-ish a few years ago, as a) it’s early, and b) it’s raining…

Daily #Wales with a #SilentSunday on an actual Sunday when it’s anything but silent - the wind is howling round the house as though it’s in a horror film… (I’m not sure the kids being taught kayaking were entirely silent, though)

Daily #Wales celebrating the end of the school holidays with this: It’s a toasted teacake with Welsh butter - and no, I don’t know what makes Welsh butter special but I have friends who buy it to take home when they visit. Om nom nom.
