If I was in charge of @Cymru I'd be shaking Mr Bellamy's hand, thanking him for his effort, and doing everything I can to persuade Steve Cooper to take over the reigns.

Kemi B from northwest Essex gets £2,700 a month in housing benefit on a six-bedroom Grade II listed farmhouse, even though she's in a relationship with a highly paid investment banker. We need to put a stop to these kinds of welfare abuses.
I agree. Only I think that work should pay better, not that the safety net should be cut.
But then I'm not a ghoul.
People on benefits shouldn’t be better off than people in work.
Some households are getting thousands more in welfare than a full-time job.
People who’re working say to me – why do I bother?
We will make sure work always pays more than benefits.
We’ll restore the two-child benefit cap. Working families don’t get a pay rise when they have another child. Nor should people on benefits.
And we’ll reform housing benefit. No more asking taxpayers to pay for people on benefits to live wherever they want – especially when working people can’t afford to live there themselves.

Reform boycotted the Senedd yesterday after one of their MSs claimed white British people would be "a minority by 2063".
It's worth taking a minute to look at what he actually said, because it is based on flawed data.
It draws on research by a former Reform candidate that had a definition of "White British" that was so narrow that neither King Charles or Winston Churchill would count.
Putting aside all of this, the fact is that Joe Martin literally represents the most diverse part of Wales.
It's his job to speak up for the people there.
Right now he is being paid £80k a year and is unable to speak in the Senedd because he refuses to apologise for wrongly claiming his own constituents are replacing white British people.
Comes across as a good lad, fair play.

This was one of the most bizarre press conferences I have ever been too.
Reform UK held a press conference and said they would not be carry out their jobs of sitting the Senedd today to defend the "free speech" of Joe Martin MS.
In that same press conference Mr Martin snapped "how dare you ask that question" after a WalesOnline journalist asked if the party was racist.
When challenged about this they walked away.
The party are missing their own debate on the Armed Forces and Veterans as well as a debate on the lack of a Welsh Covid Inquiry.

Florian Bianchini ne fait pas dans la demi-mesure 😅
L’attaquant de @ClermontFoot a inscrit 3 de ses 4 buts cette saison sur des frappes de l’extérieur de la surface.
Aucun joueur de Ligue 1 McDonald's ou de Ligue 2 BKT ne fait mieux pour l'instant ! 🎯

Would also like to add my vote for this to be banned from football, with 15 point deductions for any team breaking the new (and necessary) rule.

Tempted to say they’re the best team we’ve seen at St Andrews this season. Easily as good as Southampton, boro and wolves and that was with 10 men

You lot need to not lose your heads. You're having the mandatory shit patch every team in this league gies through. We'll all have bad runs & I still think you're the best team we've played all season after the 2 games we've played. You'll be fine & turn it around.
Great view you've got there ref. Anyone would think you were guessing based off the Brum players reaction....
This is bloody great
Longshots.app players!
After 5 days of questions, I think we have enough of a range to see which ones perform best/are the right difficulty level. I know today's questions were solid!
I'm doing a rehaul tonight for the next week of questions, feedback would be massively appreciated on which questions are too hard/too easy and what topics you found to be the most interesting.
I'm also going to implement more basic questions that involve bigger data sets, the aim for Longshots isn't for you to run out of time. Still figuring out whats the best level of allowing spelling mistakes (fuzzy matching) without it feeling like cheating.
Let me know any thoughts and I'll 100% take them into consideration 👇
