On Truss & Kwarteng in β€˜22. Allister Heath, Telegraph: β€œthe best budget I have ever heard a British chancellor deliver". Alex Brummer, Mail: β€œa genuine Tory package elbowing to one side the Treasury's fiscal conservatism".
These men will now be paid actual money for their analysis of today’s budget.

Violence against women and girls does not occur in a vacuum - it is born out of misogyny that goes unaddressed on streets, in workplaces, and in schools.

On #WhiteRibbonDay, we stand with all those who have experienced vile abuse, and those working to end it.

Agree that's likely why it pops up in error. All other weather stations are not specifically named or locations named within their city on the map so far as I can see. And it's not as if Bute Park is on the fringes of Cardiff it's slap bang in the centre so doesn't need a mention ?

Tonight, @europarl.europa.eu glows in orange.

A light for every woman and girl who has suffered in silence.

A promise to every woman and girl who deserves safety, dignity, and a life free from fear.

We owe them more than awareness.

We owe them change.
