I'm not sure I agree with the Deputy First Minister's assessment that our commitment to water quality in Wales is all that great when you consider that only three of these bathing sites are inland.

ChatGPT’s signature writing style is everywhere now, and I hate it. It reminds me of when we tried mixing all the beverages at the soda fountain in middle school. We didn’t actually create the perfect drink, we just made a cloying monstrosity that lost everything good about its constituent parts.

A Government of cowards.
Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution.
They can't get away with this.

I love that story doing the rounds this week about Harri Deaves turning up to Ospreys training in his van then returning to his day job as a roofer.
Comes across as a down-to-earth guy and the kind of person you really want to root for.

So refreshing to see a politician be able to give correct answers to questions.
Trevor Philips, "Prime Minister Keir Starmer is coming back from #COP30 having refused to put money into the tropical forest fund on the grounds that we can't afford it. He's right, isn't he?"
Zack Polanski, "No, it's outrageous. When it comes to climate, we have to look at the cost of inaction"

How does a policy whose main effect would seem to be making working people reduce their pension contributions, make sense alongside a triple lock that relies on those contributions to fund it?
Stupid stupid.
