Really enjoyed seeing Wet Leg tonight. Easily one of the most exciting British acts currently on the scene!

First place is The Greens with twenty-eight percent of the vote, a six-point increase. Second are Labour with twenty-five percent of the vote, a four-point increase. Third are Reform with eighteen percent of the vote, a five-point decrease. Fourth are The Liberal Democrats with fourteen percent of the vote, a seven-point increase. Fifth are The Conservatives on five percent of the vote with a five-point decrease.

These figures compare results from November seventeenth to those from November tenth and represent the combined eighteen to twenty-four and twenty-five to fifty age groups.

Absolutely wild show as expected. It genuinely is amazing that three lads rapping in Irish have made such an impact across the world. It's a good sign for the future of Celtic languages ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ

Miss Kaninna was the perfect support for Kneecap. Definitely an act I'm gonna start putting on regular rotation

Got a full-on week of exciting shows this week. Kneecap tonight, Bloodywood on Thursday, and Wet Leg on Friday night!! All shows that are bound to be brilliant.

Saw Six the musical at the WMC last night. I remember seeing posters for this plastered all over Edinburgh when it was just a small student show in 2017. Great to find it still going strong!

George Orwell classics Animal Farm and 1984 translated into Welsh Animal Farm and 1984 will both be published in Welsh for the first time.

The idea of translating Newspeak into Cymraeg is fascinating. I'd love to give this a read. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

With all the milestones, how extraordinary this is can get lost!

Last Sunday on the BBC I announced we overtook the Tories at 124k members.

That's +26,000 members in the last week.

Hope is feeling normal again....

HMP Berwyn: Welsh-speaking prisoners 'told to speak English' in prison Ex-inmates say Welsh speakers were made to use English at Wales' biggest prison.

This is absolutely awful. Cymraeg is the official language of this country, and everyone should be given the right to speak it whenever they choose, regardless of the circumstances. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Irish language 'weaponised', says communities minister - BBC News Gordon Lyons clashed with members of a Stormont committee over delays in bringing forward an Irish language strategy.

"My children singing, 'Baa, Baa, Caora Dubh' - 'Baa, Baa, Black Sheep' - is no weapon for anybody."

I am continuously baffled by how anyone can be in any way opposed to a language...

It's so hard to create a sound that's totally original, pushes the boundaries of music, and is still entertaining and enjoyable. Igorrr's show last night demonstrated just what can be done with music in a totally unique and inimitable way. A brilliant performance.

This is me trying to stand up at the end of the Yorkshire marathon. Definitely not my finest race, but another one I can tick off. I'm sure when I'm in less pain I'll appreciate the fact that I made it around.
