Absolutely delighted to meet the very fabulous @profaliceroberts.bsky.social in Swansea tonight, thank you for the personally signed books, now added to our growing A. Roberts collection! If you can get tickets to Alice's current "Domination" tour, it's a very enjoyable couple of hours!

My favourite pic from last night with @sangitamyska.bsky.social and @kevmoore.bsky.social Wonderful to see Sangita back in the interviewers chair. This trio is what friendship is all about. Forged on a sense of injustice, we've all three become friends.

A couple more pics from tonight -saying goodnight as I have a long drive to Newquay tomorrow. 🙏 Here’s me with Owen Jones and some of the Al Jazeera team and also with Sangita and David Noble who started the petition for her.

So we bought a static caravan!! Never thought that'd be my kind of thing. But Helen has set about making it a real beach retreat, and it is lovely. Through her business 'Mother Hen Rentals', she is taking bookings. We are controlling access for now through a closed facebook group....

After JOBs rant over Sangita, the unbalanced, unhinged, and illogical have unleashed themselves all over the other place, I've temporarily returned there to defend my friend,but it goes to show what utter bollox some people post and believe, both here and there.

As you may know my 2nd language is French. What you may not know is my passion for French songs. I recall when Lara Fabian first sang this, what an experience though for these young women to sing "Je Suis Malade" with her. youtu.be/XCdyZuMGWz0?...

Are those benefits in the room with you now Chancellor? My business has only seen increased costs in doing business in, and with Europe, since Brexit - it continues to be an unmitigated disaster that just drives higher costs for businesses, and it's SME's like mine that are hardest hit.

Today I graduated from the Help to Grow Management course at Cardiff Metropolitan University. A course that is accredited by the Small Business Charter. It was an excellent, if intense, 12 week course, and even a man of my more mature years learned a lot! #LifeLongLearning

It's a good idea not to study French philosophy before Roman poetry. As that would be putting Descartes before the Horace. #smartarsejokes

Over on X I took issue with Oakeshott about her sharing a school children's video about Ukrainian refugees that she'd suggested would attract grooming gangs. The replies were 60% supportive. But the other 40% were mindless sheep, with a worse vocabulary. That place is dying rapidly.
