The mad thing about the Motability-hate is that Motability users pay for their cars. If they want something 'nice' it's more expensive than something more standard. I sometimes wonder if the government understand this. Reform certainly don't seem to.

But surely the metric should be 'percentage of your remaining life. If you're 40, then it's 0.0002854%, and every single day, the percentage gets larger.

If you *live in* Wales, this is what you expect from the BBC. Their definition of 'interesting' is 'if it reaches London's radar'. And, yes, I am talking about BBC Wales, unfortunately.

Triongl Maslow, yn dangos anghenion dynol, ond mae 'wifi' ar waelod y pyramid, yn fwy pwysig na 'food, water, shelter, warmth'.

Y Triongl Maslow newydd!

Looks like 'not', sorry. But it was worth a try.

Do you know anyone, @ian.spennys.world ?

Felly, Spotify. Os ydw i'n moyn gwrando ar soundtrack fy hoff ffilm, byddi di yn chwarae'r traciau ar hap, gyda chaneuon eraill wedi cymysgu mewn, heblaw mod i'n talu arian i ti.

App arall wedi ei enshittifficeiddio. Da bo, felly.

Morning.

Beautiful, Eoghan! We have small patches of this on the west coast of Wales as well. The most awesomely peaceful places where even the rain is perfect.

Who could ever have imagined when I played a fictional rebel who joined the Resistance to oppose a criminal Authoritarian & wannabe King, it would be happening in real-life?

Of course Labour will vote against Plaid. The Tories are only the second enemy in Wales. Even when Plaid propose motions that are Labour policy, the Labour Party vote against (or possibly abstain. Optics, rather than principle).

Probably Welsh-speaking. Sôs coch (literally red sauce) being the Welsh for ketchup.

Can't be a Set.

There's only one of them.

'one word at a time' subtitles are presumably automatic and totally pointless!

I'm laughing, and you haven't even done it yet!

Go on - make yourself smile!

Yeah - I don't know much about specifically English politics, but the Welsh Greens seem to be all over the place. Also, can a party with next to no current MP's *really* produce a serious number of good candidates? Maybe Green is the answer, but on a constituency by constituency basis?

This! We're lucky in Wales to have Plaid Cymru, who are generally a progressive party. But if you are in England, who do you vote for?

Just to add - 'Garage' was a genuine typing (or autocorrect) mistake.

To me, regardless of the actual politics involved, the author makes one crucial error, by talking about Farage as a serious politician, rather than a grifter. Do any political analysts genuinely believe that Garage has *any* real, honest principles?

I always include 'sounds likely in pronunciation hints, so in this case "poody (rhymes with woody)", because English is *so* inconsistent with its pronunciation.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned. If police can demand your digital ID at any time, it will be illegal to leave your house without a mobile phone. That's me in jail straight away!

Oh, NationCymru. The day after Glyndŵr day, and you are fawning over the 'Prince and Princess of Wales'? The early mission has been quietly euthanised, hasn't it?
