Got to say I'm surprised banning Ninja Swords wasn't enough for Labour in Caerphilly.

Brilliant..I've been critical of Arnie but he posts this brillant article (i hadn't seen it). Superb journalism from Will Hayward. He's second to none on Welsh politics.

Put off paying your bills for the sake of the economy.

The UK government is considering rowing back on planned legislation that shortens payment times for small suppliers after lobbying from big businesses, which warn that a squeeze on their cash flow would harm investment in the economy.

Plaid have won a massive victory in the Caerphilly by-election beating Reform comfortably.

The Labour vote has totally collapsed.

It seems that in Caerphilly more people feared those who oppose immigration than the immigrants themselves.

She lied about PiP disability benefits. She pretended (as you all did) that cutting an in work benefit (PiP) would help people find work. Ridiculous. She lied to suit her own career. You did exactly the same over the WFA.

Another good result for Arsenal. Anything less than the quadruple will be veiwed as failure now. Otherwise they'll have bottled it again. A treble might just keep Arteta in his job.

Well done Villa for making it clear that those staff frightened to come to work that night (if thugs allowed in) can stay home. I'm sure all those MPs and media who have been screaming blue murder will volunteer to fill the void.
