Nigel Farage’s history of spurious election fraud allegations.

2014: Farage claims voting fraud happening β€œon a third world scale”, no evidence found.
2015: South Thanet elections, Farage fraud allegations dismissed.

I know I’ve not posted for a while but … after all, it is Dydd GΕ΅yl Dewi, and Daily #Wales wishes everybody a happy one

Closer examination of the Epstein files provokes fresh questions about Reform UK treasurer Nick Candy and his brother Christian’s development of the One Hyde Park super-prime apartment block: messages within the latest release appear to contradict their tax-avoiding account of the project.

Hah! After a spontaneous discussion over coffee yesterday, I became very scone centred too… the undoubted influence of Llandudno is (as yet) unsatisfied…

We made it!

No thanks to the weather - bloody freezing, heavy snow meant a hairy drive. Feral grannies sensibly stayed at home. Unlike us πŸ˜±β„οΈ

Daily #Wales for a Friday (which will be spent shopping in the den of sin and villainy that is Llandudno).

So here’s a little part of Wales which isn’t any of those things. Shhhh.

(It’s not the one almost next door, but the one a little bit further on - yup, surrounded by NBI archaeology, pure coincidence that this was my undergrad degree subject, honest)

A crescent moon in a late-sunset sky. The horizon - just visible between trees and a roof silhouette - has a deep purple blue sea meeting orange-tinged clouds

Happy Sunday from The Boss. A week til he celebrates his 15 Year Anniversary in Downing St. He was meowing at me today, a rare but surefire sign that snacks must be provided as the before and after pics show.

Ten years on from the referendum many of us feared that Brexit would be bad, it's turned out to be catastrophic. Stanford University have revealed the economic devastation - the figures are eye-watermg - & we live daily with the social consequences. It's a tragedy.

Pale blue sky, the symmetrical triangle of the mountain almost purple on colour. In the foreground, a line of dunes and golden sand, and even nearer a strip of sea

Another stormy, wet day for Daily #Wales - so more memories of summer…

Yr Wyddfa / Snowdon with Harlech beach (empty, it must have been out of school holidays or very early when I took this - not that it’s ever rammed)

Another storm outside, more bins barrelling down the hill, more brief power cuts - Daily #Wales needs a calm walk in a summer beach, very early in the morning so it’s empty…

Llandanwg, near Harlech.

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.

Daily #Wales still harking after summer…

A green lane (now) which heads towards the old drovers’ route skirting the mountains and - ultimately - heading for England and the markets of London.

You couldn’t make this stuff up. Robert Jenrick and Suella Braverman accidentally voted with Labour to abolish the two-child benefit cap tonight after entering the wrong lobby!

Yes, it looks tropical. Nope, it’s Cardigan Bay and the Llyn Peninsula.
