😹😹😹 @CountBinface on BBC Breakfast: “Maybe they’ve noticed Nigel is having a rather peculiar hissy fit and they’re keeping their powder dry for a second by-election when the parliamentary committee reports.” 🔥 Then the best bit: “Vote Binface and you save the British taxpayer £380,000.” 😂 #ClactonElection 🗑️ 🔥

It’s unacceptable that Welsh budgets are being cut unilaterally   Welsh Govt received no advanced warning, which goes against the spirit of the respect agenda I’ve written to UK Govt to emphasise that defence spending must not be funded to the detriment of Welsh public services

Labour lost on May 7 because they failed to understand Wales. Wes Streeting today revels in ignorance by comparing Plaid Cymru’s inclusive internationalism with Reform UK’s divisive populism. Welsh voters know the difference. Labour should too. theguardian.com/politics/liv…

Every minister in the new Plaid Cymru Cabinet is a fluent Cymraeg speaker. For the first time in 622 years, since the parliament of Owain Glyndŵr, our government will hold its Cabinet meetings in Cymraeg, the mother-tongue of our nation, and indigenous language of Britain 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I’m signing an executive order banning California state officials from using insider information to place bets, including in prediction markets. We will not tolerate this kind of corruption in California.

I think that if you’re going to write a piece in the Times urging the government to use and boost more AI, the fact that you are paid by a major AI company should be in the first sentence, or at least first paragraph. I also think that the best scenario for AI is that it destroys millions of jobs with the prosperity, dignity and community that goes with them. The worst scenario is the destruction of the human race - a fear openly expressed by an increasing number of senior and experienced AI engineers who are leaving the industry. And somewhere in between a myriad of horrors such as yet more screen learning and screen addiction for our children. But I do see that it will make rich men even richer. And that’s the most important thing of course.

WE NOW HAVE A YEAR OF DATA SINCE 20MPH WAS INTRODUCED IN WALES There were around 100 fewer people killed or seriously injured on 20/30mph roads. The number of casualties in 2024 from July-Sept was the lowest Q3 figures in Wales since records began. Over the year since it came in the number of casualties on roads affected by the law is 28% lower than the year before. This is good policy making.
