Nigel Farageβs history of spurious election fraud allegations.
2014: Farage claims voting fraud happening βon a third world scaleβ, no evidence found.
2015: South Thanet elections, Farage fraud allegations dismissed.
A track leading beside a stone wall, heading towards a rounded hill. Blue sky, sunshine.
Daily #Wales for a little light reliefβ¦
And a walk up into the hills one summer
A bright yellow double daffodil in sunshine
I know Iβve not posted for a while but β¦ 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 Christianβs 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.
Lots of blues: blue sky, blue sea, blue train going over the bridge
Daily #Wales with a random picβ¦
Hah - from years and years ago: a train crossing Barmouth bridge, the Cader Idris range in the background.
Hah! After a spontaneous discussion over coffee yesterday, I became very scone centred tooβ¦ the undoubted influence of Llandudno is (as yet) unsatisfiedβ¦
We made it!
No thanks to the weather - bloody freezing, heavy snow meant a hairy drive. Feral grannies sensibly stayed at home. Unlike us π±βοΈ

Sunshine on the beach; silent rock pools reflecting the light, sea like a mirror.
Daily #Wales for a Friday (which will be spent shopping in the den of sin and villainy that is Llandudno).
So hereβs a little part of Wales which isnβt any of those things. Shhhh.
π
Trees and the partly collapsed dolmen in mist
Daily #Wales with my favourite chambered tomb for #TombTuesday
(Itβs 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
Daily #Wales for the start of the week, with a pic from ten years ago todayβ¦
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.
Looking inland from the boardwalk over the dunes - a purple mountain rises into the blue sky
Daily #Wales still needs reminding of summer. Or at least of days when it didnβt rainβ¦
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 summerβ¦
Yr Wyddfa / Snowdon with Harlech beach (empty, it must have been out of school holidays or very early when I took this - not that itβs ever rammed)
and plenty of storms to go, I suspect π¬
Blue sky, a curve of cloud which follows the curve of the bay. Empty beach.
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 itβs emptyβ¦
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.
Bright, bright sun; deep blue sky, green trees and grass in the lane which runs between stone walls (one clear, the other overgrown)
Daily #Wales still harking after summerβ¦
A green lane (now) which heads towards the old droversβ route skirting the mountains and - ultimately - heading for England and the markets of London.
You couldnβt 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!
Churchwarden linked to foreign-born billionaire is behind Β£200k Reform gift The man whose firm made the donations will not discuss where the money came from, nor his ties to wealthy Farage allies who may not hold citizenship Gabriel Pogrund, Whitehall Editor Saturday January 31 2026, 8.00pm, The Sunday Times Share A churchwarden from Potters Bar who works for the family of a highly secretive, Kazakhstan-born billionaire can be revealed as the man behind Β£200,000 of donations to Reform UK., John Richard Simpson is a 59-year-old
Why isn't this a major news story?

Sunset sky, blue sea, golden light on the slipway leading onto the golden sand
Daily #Wales in need of a little summer calm⦠evening on the beach. Hmmmm
Low tide, estuary sand exposed, bright sun. All framed by gnarled tree trunks and leaves.
Daily #Wales with more βtropicalβ scenes from Cardigan Bay, oh, OK, the Mawddach Trailβ¦
Ah, summer. Hm.
A deep orange sunset, mountains across the bay.
Daily #Wales, not so daily ATM (work), but looking forward to summerβ¦
Yes, it looks tropical. Nope, itβs Cardigan Bay and the Llyn Peninsula.
