This infographic was produced in order of MP’s money earned from other jobs.

Not often seen in his constituency but topping the charts of additional earnings.

I’m searching for the original and/or rights owner of this fabulous picture of Birmingham in the early 1970s. It popped up on my Instagram feed, but I’ve been unable to track it down.

Any leads? I’m really hoping to use it in a book.

(And would much appreciate a RT please)

Reform are denying me access to the Welsh manifesto launch...

Remember a few weeks ago when Reform UK threatened to defund Bangor University in the name of "free speech"?

Well despite repeated requests, Reform are not allowing me to attend their manifesto launch.

🏴󠁧󠁒󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Happy St. David's Day. Before Wales had theatres, it had audiences. In the 6th century, St. David gathered crowds in fields and on hillsides to hear him speak. Churches were too small, so stories were told outdoors, shaped by rhythm, voice and gesture so everyone could follow.

Totally exposed to the elements so moss will never survive.
Only 9% of woodland affected they say but it's 37% of public access woodland

It's very good, deserved all the plaudits. Bit of an emotional ride. Both IU and LSK are wonderful. Plan to re watch this year but sad to think such a wonderful actor no longer with us

The Welsh name for Greenland is Yr Ynys Las. There’s also a village in Wales called Ynyslas, near Aberystwyth.

The people of Ceredigion clearly have a very good sense of humour!

Trump is one of the worst humans ever to hold power. Vile.

Solidarity with the people of Greenland from Wales. ✊

Wales watching - The midweek briefing Exclusive: UK Government ignore two Welsh Gov letters, plus Eluned Morgan does an impression...

In the last 6 months, the Welsh Labour Gov has sent 2 letters to their UK Labour colleagues asking them to change local housing allowance back to the 50th percentile (Wales has the fastest growing rents in the UK).

An FoI shows that UK Gov haven't bothered to reply to either.
