The latest pathetic attempt by Reform UK supporters to distance themselves from Nathan Gill and #ReformRussianBribes is to say ‘Reform UK didn’t exist when he took the bribes’.

UKIP > Independent > Brexit Party > Reform UK

That’s the path Gill and Farage took TOGETHER.

I stopped watching. It did nothing good for my blood pressure.

A blue sky, with a bright sun only just filtered by clouds lower towards the horizon. A silver snake of the river running out to the sea.

Daily #Wales from the weekend - looking down on the Artro estuary

Grey, cold sea, waves with lots of foam, some of which is being blown back by the wind.

Daily #Wales from the archives, reflecting the wind that is currently whistling around the house. Not a landscape, but… 😉

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

Indeed. That we have another crisis and end up with some absolutely useless, crazy haired idiot like johnson in charge so it all gets fucked up completely and thousands of people die and the person at the top doesn't get jailed for life.

Nigel Farage needs investigating by the police for the same reasons as Nathan Gill.
His whole party is rotten and the rot starts at the top.
No Russian money can be allowed in British politics.

A path under trees, bright green with new leaves. Sunlight filters through to the bluebell-covered ground.

Daily #Wales with a random pic for Saturday.

Ah - the woods behind the village in spring. The scent of the massed bluebells is always extraordinary…

Yes!!!

Nathan Gill (Reform / Wales) sentenced to 10.5 years for taking Russian bribes. Couldn’t happen to a nicer man 😉🤣

Again, I recall Michael Gove in Parliament basically saying to one pissed off Tory MP after another: Let’s just shitefest this disastrous drivel over the line and argue about the details later. An argument that appears to have won over basically everyone who matters, who then sold it to the public.

Call it what it is Farage's Brexit.

Snowy mountains seen from a chilly moor. Sunny, but maybe not for long.

No photos of snow from this year (work) but have one from a few years ago for today’s Daily #Wales, as the snow line is similar.

(The pointy one, head in cloud, is Yr Wyddfa / Snowdon)

Mountains - snowy - above the estuary. The pointy one is Yr Wyddfa / Snowdon

Have this in the meanwhile - from 2016, but very similar indeed to today…

#Wales #Cymru #Eryri #Snowdonia

It’s just on the mountains ATM (and, oddly, Llŷn - most unusual). I’ll dig some out from 2010/11…

Which is when it also started like this. Hm.

It is lovely - and brilliantly it’s at just the right place on the Mawddach trail to stop for a beer…

A pub terrace, white wrought iron seats and table in the filtered shade of trees. It looks out over the wooden bridge at Penmaenpwll; green hills on the far side of the sunlit estuary.

Daily #Wales back in summer again, as we had snow on the tops yesterday. Hm.

Looking down over fields and across the bay to the mountains on the far side. Everything is green and lush (apart from a dry stone wall); the sea is blue and sunshine bathes the landscape

Daily #Wales - is looking back to summer as there’s a warning for ice in the forecast. Brrr.

A sheep in sunlight, against browned bracken, clearly baaaaaaing loudly

More sheep from Daily #Wales today (of course). But this one should clearly have had audio.

Definitely!

One sheep, looking straight at the camera, in front of gorse bushes with an autumnal landscape of hills and fields and trees in the background

Daily #Wales hasn’t featured sheep for a while. This cannot be allowed to continue…

This week Nathan Gill, Reform UK’s Leader in Wales will be sentenced for 8 charges of Russian bribes.

Here’s Farage calling him an “honest, decent and honourable man”.

Let’s not forget that whilst he was taking the bribes, Farage was making similar pro-Russian speeches in the European Parliament.

Two very large standing stones formed of great slabs of rock, towering over the viewer

#StandingStoneSunday The mighty Devil's Chair entrance stone at Avebury henge, Wiltshire. One of a handful of original stones that was never toppled by villagers

Coming from west Wales, the enormous scale of this monument & its megaliths is always a shock to the system 🤯

📷 My own, Oct 2023

Snow on a path (and wall) leading to an outbuilding with a door painted in aqua blue. All the shrubs and bushes are blurred by the snow.

More harking back from Daily #Wales, but today (following a chat with friends yesterday) looking back to the snowy winter of 2010/11. Pretty but a pain in the arse - particularly when falling over.

We were lucky. Further inland, not so much.

Absolutely fine - just a couple of new damp bits but nothing compared to Monmouth, for instance.

👍

Even the previously flooded basement is dry - some windbreak round the veg patch down but hooray… so much worse for other people

It was a lovely evening …

Sunset on the beach, empty of all but a few birds by the shoreline. The sky is shades of lemon yellow and the mountains across the bay look very close.

Daily #Wales definitely harking back to summer before going out to see what damage Storm Claudia has caused …

Storm Claudia here. Good luck for tomorrow 🤞
