⚠️ Pontypridd has been hit by devastating floods and our wonderful independent bookshop, Storyville Books, has seen much of its stock destroyed. If you’re able to buy a book from them, this would go such a long way to help support them rebuild in the aftermath. 👉 uk.bookshop.org/shop/Storyvi...

Nestled in the rolling hills of the South Wales valleys, we are the only independent bookshop in Pontypridd, selling new books and more.

Welsh Labour’s run of electoral success is globally unparalleled. There are signs of shifting tectonic plates underpinning Welsh politics. Labour & Tories look like the losers. Neither Welsh nor UK Labour are seized of the scale of these challenges. Follow brilliant work by @jaclarner.bsky.social 👇
