Minority representation on TV causes outrage There has been widespread support for prominent Reform MP Sarah Pochin after she complained about the over-representation of minorities on television. Said one angry viewer, "She's right. Every time you turn on the telly there's another Reform MP being interviewed by Laura Kuenssberg." She added, "I respect their way of life and their strange customs, but Reform MPs comprise only 0.7 percent of the House of Commons. Yet Nigel Farage is on Question Time more than Fiona Bruce." "I'm not prejudiced. Some of my best friends are swivel-eyed loons, but enough is enough. There are too many people with angry red faces on television.”

Gotta love Private Eye.
Always cuts through the crap.

A reminder.

Only 6.9% of people in Wales were born overseas.

Just 2.9% of people in Caerphilly were born overseas.

Whereas 38% of medical consultants in Wales were born overseas.

Immigrants are not holding our NHS back, they are propping it up.

Keep Farage out vote Plaid Cymru in Caerphilly.

#NeverFarage

It’s a clear tactical vote for Plaid Cymru in the Caerphilly by-election on Oct 23rd, but we need to get the word out so people show up stopreformuk.vote/senedd/caerp...

Come on Caerphilly! Welsh voters were fooled by Farage’s lies into voting for his Brexshit before. Surely you won’t be fool enough to swallow his Reform shit again now. He does NOT care about Wales or Welsh issues. He would take all power back to Westminster.
Vote Plaid!
Pleidleisiwch Plaid!

Reform Ltd promised to cut taxes, Private Eye number crunches.....

Reform candidate visibly squirms as he's confronted by a local family in Caerphilly.

Delighted to confirm we are building a brand new primary school in Bettws, an £18m investment. All our children and staff deserve the best facilities. More investments in our schools to be announced in the coming months. (Disclaimer - the image is not a real representation 😂)

Went to an excellent sepsis awareness day yesterday put on by Aneurin Bevan University Health Board. Make sure you know how to recognise sepsis, it could save someone’s life

STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.”

Nailed it.

Privileged to visit the new Endoscopy Unit at the Royal Gwent Hospital.

Amazing facilities, cutting-edge technology, and staff passionate about improving outcomes for patients.

This will support people in Newport and nearby, no need to travel for treatment.

Led By Donkeys have got Fartrage's number.

"To the people of the UK who think this Putin-loving free-speech imposter and Trump sycophant will protect freedom in your country, come on over to America and see what Trump & MAGA are doing to destroy OUR freedom"

Farage has his arse handed to him on a plate.

Everybody was flung shoe fighting…

Today I have written to the Foreign Secretary David Lammy expressing my concerns over the current humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

YouTube video by NJ.com Drowning doesn't look like drowning

Decent summary for people who prefer video www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjGs...

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

England faces 5 billion litre public water shortage by 2055 without urgent action England faces 5 billion litre a day shortfall for public water supplies by 2055 – and a further 1 billion litre a day deficit for wider economy.

England faces 5bn litre public water shortage by 2055.

Govt softening people up for bill hikes.

Island surrounded by water has shortage - 1 trillion litres a year lost to leaks, lack of new reservoirs, £85bn paid in dividends, rivers/lakes polluted by sewage.

Crisis created by privatisation.

It is 22 years ago today that my best friend, Nick Everton, died. He was 17 years old. Not much time to leave a mark on the world you would think.
But those of us who knew him came away irreversibly altered by even the short time we shared together....
🧵

i’m also just offended at the fact that this chucklefuck believes he is inherently superior to whole classes of people on the basis of his race and gender, despite zero evidence in his miserable life of anything that looks like competence

Welcome news from the UK Labour Government’s Spending Review that £445 million for rail is coming to Wales. 🚆

More than we ever saw under the Tories.

I have long called for urgency to deliver the proposals from the Burns Delivery Unit.

Now, both Labour Government’s can work together to deliver detailed plans for a new railway station in Newport West.

These new stations across Newport will improve travel, ease congestion, and strengthen our communities. 🌍

NEWSOM: "It's a vulgar display. It's the kind of thing you see with Kim Jong Un, Putin, dictators that are weak… How weak do you have to be to commandeer the military for your birthday?“

I didn't want this book to end. Such a lovely story.

It’s Pride month!🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Fantastic to see so many people at Torfaen Pride today.

It’s been a brilliant opportunity to talk to visitors about their thoughts on policing in Gwent.

Newport council is spending £6m to improve these 55 roads in the city Newport City Council will resurface or treat 55 roads across the city with a £6.6m fund.

Zia Yusuf: Chairman of Reform UK resigns The unelected chair of the party stood down from his role in the party, following a row in which he called a question from a Reform MP about banning burkas "dumb".

Reform UK chairman resigns.

Says "I no longer believe working to get a Reform government elected is a good use of my time, and hereby resign the office."

Will others wake up?

Farage policies disastrous, divisive, uncosted; anti worker, public services; will say anything to get elected.
