Trump has imposed sanctions on the International Criminal Court, and while his kids "negotiate" a Ukrainian peace deal, he's paying Putin to breach sanctions. Hegseth is live-streaming an execution by firing squad, and gave the UFC a binding contract to train the US military in hand to hand combat.

A great day out in Bristol yesterday with a fabulous brewery tour at Left Handed Giant in the centre and then some fantastic ales at the Cornubia, King's Head and the Seven Stars. The pubs in Cardiff sadly pale in comparison in terms of character and beer, an aspect that needs improving.

Er cof Dic Penderyn, crogwyd ar y diwrnod hwn yn 1831. Ei eiriau olaf, ‘O Arglwydd dyma gamwedd!’ Remembering Dic Penderyn, hanged on this day 1831 for his part in the Merthyr Rising. A martyr of the Welsh working class. His last words, ‘O Lord, here is iniquity!’

✍️ Sign the petition to stop #BigChicken choking our rivers. The UK poultry industry produces 3.5 million tonnes of chicken manure every year. Too much ends up polluting our rivers. The Government wants even more industrial chicken farming. Tell them to make Big Chicken manage its own muck.

In 2015, Burnham said Wales was being shortchanged and pledged to correct it if he became leader. Now, he's dropping those promises. If the 'King of the North' is already abandoning his principles, Labour risks being led by another politician lacking vision and conviction.

‘Impressive’ is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Words that come more readily to mind, but aren’t limited to, are: opaque, dodgy funded, corrupt, lack of thought, callous, cruel, revolving doors, septic tanks. They’re a sewer of ideas for immiseration of the poor and advancement of the rich.
