The🚰 leaks have started dripping through, and it appears the WRU board are now favouring “Model C” - two full fat teams and one “Slimline Zebre Lite”

We should point out that Model C was the second least popular option, after the widely-hated Model D.

One today, and the other three years ago.

She said she defected from the Conservative party because it was "unrecognisable" to her.

This suggests that perhaps it's also herself who has changed.

Just fyi, the Nation of Sanctuary costs costs of 0.038% of the Welsh Gov's budget.

It's clear, Scotland is getting better than 'the rest of Britain/Britian', in just about every measurable way.

For an even fairer society, we need to go the whole way, Scottish Independence.

There's no longer an argument.

Prediction: Tories will be absorbed into Reform UK within a year (may be presented as a joining of parties but Reform will dominate), with Farage as leader and Jenrick as deputy. Badenoch will be out with seat on several boards of investment banks, etc, as golden handshake.

Labour’s plans to open the pubs for longer ignores that the reasons the pubs are struggling is people can’t afford to go out for a drink.

Rachel Reeves is taking bribes from thieving Billionaires to stop wealth redistribution.

The end result is the collapse of the retail and leisure industry.
