The monumental stupidity of Brexit is writ ever larger with each passing day.
Dark grey cloud with a light band over Mumbles, tiers of breaking waves in the bay and gulls on the shore facing into the strong south-easterly winds. A Monochrome scene although a colour photo
Swansea Bay. Colour photo, honest! 😳

Bruce Springsteen: “ICE should get the fuck out of Minneapolis.”
Clouds parted to reveal golden reflections on a plate of cloud, the glow reflected on the beach and rising tide.
Worth getting out for a last stroll on the beach after a cloudy day.

🚨By-elections to be called automatically when MPs defect to another party - lets get this to the 100,000 signatures needed

Breaking news, first time in decades. Bus home from work smelled like beer today instead of weed. Like glimpsing a species made endangered by some new, disturbance-tolerant competitor
View across the bay to Mumbles on the horizon with a bank of cloud obscuring the sun and both blue sky and cloud reflected in the seawashed sand.
Late afternoon today.

Last year, we made the decision to step away from X.
The Royal Irish Academy is committed to creating, convening, and sharing knowledge for the public good and as an organisation we value Independence; Integrity; Curiosity; Openness and Rigour.
In our view, X no longer aligns with these values
Perfect

There should be a by-election if an MP defects.
This week's Mr Pip Has Barked At will be presented by Mr Pip.
That is all.
Bloody hope so.
Jenrick defection to Reform is the end of him. Farage already struggles to contain more than one outsized ego in his parliamentary party. Certainly no room for anything the size of Robert's inflated sense of self-worth.
You mark my words - it'll end badly.
The Reform pitch is increasingly “the last government was terrible, so we’ve hired everyone who was in it”.
The only questio about 'defectors' to Farage is: "Were they lying before or are they lying now?"
The answer, invariably, is "Both".
I'm watching the snooker.
About half of a rainbow starting on Rhossili beach and arcing over the hill at the back of the beach. Grey rain clouds with only a small brief patch of blue.
Bore da 😊☕️ A wet and dull day promised here so here's a Rhossili Bay rainbow.
Sadly the Worm's Head Hotel is still closed due to fire damage. Looking forward to fish and chips on that terrace again, maybe next year?🤞
BREAKING: Keir Starmer says the Government will "control" Grok if Elon Musk and X do not
"This Government will be guided by its values. We'll stand up for the vulnerable against the powerful. If X cannot control Grok, we will and we'll do it fast"

Bore da! Is it #SnowdropSunday?
It is now!
Have a peaceful, lovely day 🤗

Grey cloud over Swansea Bay and dark sand. One person walking in the distance and the silhouette of Mumbles on the horizon.
It's all gone grey 😢
Grey, wet and a lot warmer so not moaning... much! 😄 Have a good day ☕️
Sending merry birthday & happy Galette Des Rois cake day to dear @nigella.bsky.social - one of the kindest women I have the pleasure to know. Have a wonderful day. Xx 💚🩷
Bastards.
View through sand dunes, of the sea and a glowing post-sunset sky with Mumbles on the horizon and the lighthouse light showing teeny and white.
#SwanseaBay post-sunset and the lighthouse light is on.
A super end to a glorious day.
Well done, January. Keep it up! 😎
Pic looking down on a sandy beach with a huge craggy lump of rock known aa Donkey Rock and anoutcrop of rocks on the far side of the sand. A calm blue low tide sea with Mouse Island just visible.
Rotherslade this afternoon 💙
Behold, Donkey Rock, painted by Sisley.
A Golden sky sunset behind a ridge with a row of leafless trees in a hedgerow and a smattering of snow all over the grassy meadow.
Sunset and a snowy meadow 💙
