60 years ago today I emigrated to Canada. I flew with my aunt from Heathrow to Toronto, stopping at Prestwick en route because there was a problem with an engine. I lived in Canada for 11 years.

@elunedmorgan.bsky.social is a good person. I am very sorry that she will no longer be First Minister of Wales, that she lost her seat and resigned as leader of Welsh Labour. She deserved far more than that.

I’ve had leaflets from Plaid Cymru, Reform UK and the Green Party this morning & Labour yesterday. I’d already received leaflets from them, Conservatives & Liberal Democrats in the past week.

Two photos. Same room. Same flags. Same astronauts. In one, the President stands with them, smiling, centered, human. In the other, the President sits scowling, rambling, diminished. Four astronauts. Two presidents. And the faces tell you everything.
A tale of 4 astronauts, and 2 presidents, and faces that tell a story.

Unacceptable. Jonathan Ross should be in custody awaiting trial for the murder of Renée Good.
Screenshot of a Daily Beast (@thedailybeast) tweet reporting that the ICE agent who fatally shot Renee Nicole Good has been quietly relocated to another state and allowed to return to work. The embedded image shows a three-panel composite of a man's headshot, a street scene with a circled figure near a police car, and a photo of a smiling woman, with a caption reading "ICE Agent Who Shot Dead Unarmed Mom Quietly Reassigne..."

It is a fact that if this had been a senior Labour politician, let alone the party leader, the story would now be dominating the airwaves to the exclusion of all else. How do I know this? Taylor Swift tickets, glasses and suits.

Ten years ago today, on 22 April 2016, was the annual dinner of the Cardiff & District Law Society at City Hall. The photo shows the president (me!) in mid-speech. To the right of me is the guest speaker - Sir Keir Starmer who gave an excellent speech.

Any Tory going on about Mandelson should STFU. They didn't say a word when Johnson failed vetting when Theresa May appointed him Foreign Secretary nor when Lebedev was appointed to the Lords by Johnson despite having failed vetting.

Hell, I'm baffled as to why Lebedev is allowed to be "of Hampton and Siberia". In the unlikely event of me being appointed to the House of Lords, I wouldn't be Baroness Lewis of Sydney. It's ridiculous.

I don't know how many know this but you can rent out a furnished room in your house for just over £600 a month and the money you receive is tax free. A good idea for older people who might have excess rooms and don't mind a bit of company.... www.gov.uk/rent-room-in...

This is why the 25th Amendment exists. This is the purpose of having the 25th Amendment. To not use this power to remove the president is not a passive act, a mere option: it is a positive decision to misuse the constitution.

Donald Trump is not known for his modesty but when he states that the USA will be Iran’s worst nightmare if it fails to agree his “peace plan” he fails to appreciate that under his presidency the USA is the world’s worst nightmare.
