If one small silly edit is worth $1 billion in damages, then how much should the BBC sue the orange fascist for over his calling BBC news “100% FAKE NEWS”
$10 billion?

More than 100 Aston Martin jobs 'at risk' in St Athan The company blames losses on US tariffs imposed by Donald Trump and weak demand from China.

Welsh Government chose to invest in Saudi/Chinese owned maker of gas-guzzlers few people in wales could afford.
Might have been better to invest in Welsh owned sustainable manufacturers.
More tax-payers money wasted.

That’s why I wear the white poppy, to honour our troops but work for peace.
I want a world in which armies are redundant.
Our service personnel fought in 2 world wars and other conflicts since. They laid down their lives only to have #Farage and #Robinson steal their thunder for their own ends.

A thought for Remembrance Sunday.
My father was born a semi-orphan - my grandfather was killed in the Christmas push of 1916, within days of returning to the front, and before my dad was born.
A life wasted.

Aston Martin warns St Athan plant jobs at risk in costs review The group's shares come under pressure over concerns about US tariffs and low demand in China.

So glad the #Welsh #Government invested in a factory to make gas guzzling SUVs for posh Americans.
That worked out well!
Perhaps next time we could manufacture something useful?

Paul. I agree that Scotland will become an #Independent #Republic first, but I think Wales will follow soon after, once people see how it works.

It all depends on which form of PR you choose.
STV gives voters choice, the list system doesn’t, but it’s more proportional.
The one certainty is that FPTP is unfit for purpose, and always was.

Tommy Robinson not guilty of terror offence after not giving police access to phone Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was found not guilty at Westminster Magistrates' Court.

So, I think I’ve got this right.
Pacifist grannies holding a cardboard sign are terrorists, but Yaxley Lennon is a freedom loving journalist.
Glad the judge was concentrating on the facts in the parallel universe he occupies.

Nigel Farage walks back on tax cut pledges Farage said a decline in the health of the economy would cause ructions within the Labour party, sparking a general election.

Reform UK, the Russian spy and rolls of Kremlin cash: the inside story of Nathan Gill How did a former Mormon bishop end up pleading guilty to taking bribes to make statements in favour of Russia in the European parliament?

I knew Gill and Farage and the rest of the UKIP crew in the European Parliament

They were crooks and shysters to a man

They repeated Putin talking points and appeared on Russia Today

You might think the Caerphilly bi-election is an important indicator of how effective #Reform’s bullshit storm is.
You might expect the UK MSM to show some interest.
