Wondering what the longest period between Keir Starmer making a statement about race and Reform that it is not immediately undermined by something done by his ministers or aides has been. Three days?

I freely confess that I’d never even heard of C18th century poet Angharad James until this episode of @yrheniaith.bsky.social but her work is remarkable

Read this lovely overview by @jerryhunter.bsky.social then please search your attic for the lost ‘llyfr coch’!

Rhaid cyfaddef nad oeddwn i erioed wedi clywed am Angharad James (bardd o’r 18fed ganrif) cyn hyn.

Os ydych chi’n yr un cwch yna dwi’n sicr y byddwch yn cael eich swyno…!

This is the point where the anti-Reeves stories tip into madness. Criticise her performance all you like but what the hell is this?

Agreed. But still very cool, no?!

Love to see the @naaswch.bsky.social shoutout! It was great to be there in-person for the recording. The more we can dissolve the incredibly sticky Madoc Myth the better. No, Indigenous Peoples in the Americans didn't learn how to fish or speak from the Welsh

Lovely stuff.

Yr Hen Iaith part 75 – The earliest Welsh-American literature Jerry Hunter The first Welsh-language American book was published more than half a century before the birth of the United States. Its author, Ellis Pugh, was one of a number of Welsh Quakers who immig...

From @yrheniaith.bsky.social podcast

Early Welsh language literature from the Americas includes a poem from 1596 imagining a dolphin carrying a message from a ship in the Caribbean home to Wales

Benjamin Franklin (yes, that one) printed a Welsh language book in 1730!

The government can stick to this plan, or the government can get re-elected. Unlikely it can do both. Therefore either the government has a death wish or the 27-29 figures are yet another budgetary fairy tale. Remember when this government promised to be serious and not to duck the hard choices?

So many senior MAGA figures are so careless I wouldn't be surprised if two dozen intelligence agencies have cracked their means of communication

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Every "X will be unpopular" take which does not compare X with the other options available should be stuck in a bin.

Raising big taxes is unpopular. Not raising them means starving public services. Remind me how many years of starving public services worked out for the incumbent in May last year.

I think if 24 people are dead it's more than "testing" a ceasefire.

It is indisputable that Brexit has been an economic disaster, and notable that none of its political architects have paid any price.
