Pembrokeshire and Wales first. Building communities, championing rural business, chief lavatory technician for the Big Retreat Festival, probably Europe’s best wellbeing festival, and tourism champion for one of the most beautiful parts of the world.
Hegseth on crisis in the Strait of Hormuz — “something we’re dealing with, we have been dealing with it. Don’t need to worry about it”
Now we are even more worried about it.

What a welcome comment….! Good to see you the right side of the bridge, Kevin. Will message
Worldpay system not working for me on that link, Will. Is it because I’m in Wales?
That’s a drought.
330mm Jan Feb here.
Double of previous year.
Yes. Mind you, I think perhaps two out of the three have a very developed sense of how much they’ve been marginalised by urban centric politics. Driven by a negative common cause maybe, but hey, the enemy of enemy is my friend.
The U.S. administration did not send a single representative to the official commemoration events marking the anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, nor did it issue a single word through its embassy in Kyiv -- not even a standard diplomatic boilerplate.
For sure. Lack of bravery and leadership lets everyone down in the end. That applies to all politicians equally.
Appealing to Welsh Labour heartlands and buying them off is not only what gets Welsh Labour to where it is today, but is what gets Wales to where it is today.
Great example of nominative determinism here. I bet he does….
How is it he puts FOUR sentences together in the same timeline and makes every one of them contradict the other three???
Interesting. I’d be interested in a similar visualisation wrt business owners on WG policies that have impacted them and their businesses. They don’t get information pre filtered by media to the same extent either. Might be instructive.
More of this.
This is the way.
“The qualities most conspicuously absent from this presidency are honesty, coherence, dignity, compassion, manners and respect for others. [..] Trump is not conducting a foreign policy to make his country rich and great, but instead one that is making the Trump family rich and great.” Max Hastings.
Great campaign idea for #walesweeklondon coming up…?

I think if America’s leaders then knew this man would be president of the US 80 years on, they’d probably have nuked Washington instead.
I imagine history will record the Reform UK party as the most vapid, ideologically empty party of our times and all those who jumped into it as politically suicidal fools.
I reckon it’s time for Wag The Dog to have a second major cinema release.

You’re right, yes. Flippancy aside historians might see the return of families to the root of such devastating ethnic abominations within a century as worthy of a mention.
Meanwhile, our periodic lurches that way are vile. Empty, hateful people thrive when there’s a vacuum of moral leadership.
Yes regulation needed. Bravery, leadership, vision and regulation. Only one of those currently in stock…
If you took a 100 year view, though, you might say this is a good news story, no?
What a great article.
The unseen effect of the mostly US tech driven businesses becoming gatekeepers to what we all used to enjoy (live music, experiences, stays etc) is that 15% or more of our money is leaving Wales and the UK along with all our data …whereas it used to recirculate.
The west Wales business community is delighted for Taylor Swift fans visiting Cardiff but…. Please?

For sure. And that’s a problem for politicians who think budgets set the economic climate rather than v.v
Not saying they’ve got it right but surely much better ways to judge rail services than headline costs. Ask the nation that is the most popular tourist destination in the world what role its railways play in unlocking the €70bn or so revenue from 100m foreign tourists each year. Paywall mind. 😃
We’re only humble folk down here.
I think that, thanks not least to his recent Rob Reiner post, this man’s legal team will struggle to prove any harm was done to his reputation.
I have no plans to travel to the US.

Where is this please, Nathan?
Must be one hell of a driver.
