Dwi'n dwlu arno fo, am arwr
“Dwi’n fachgen tŷ cyngor, ac yn falch o alw fan hyn yn adref”

Mae’r fuddugoliaeth hon yn rhoi momentwm enfawr i Blaid Cymru i gyflawni’r newid cadarnhaol mae pobl yn chwilio amdano fis Mai nesaf.

Bydd Lindsay Whittle a Phlaid Cymru yn gweithio’n ddiflino dros gymunedau Caerffili, a Chymru gyfan.

As always I really enjoy Wales only being paid any political attention when we're perceived as a testing ground rather than an actual place with actual people affected by our politics

O me of little faith!! Get fucked Farage, this is literally like the perfect possible conditions for these racist cunts but they still managed to lose by 11 points.

I sincerely hope this is the start of something special for plaid now. Deffrwch Cymru cysglyd...

Ces i fy magu yn Sir Caerffili felly does gen i ddim gobaith o gwbl am yr is-etholiad. Hoffwn i gael fy mhrofi'n anghywir, tyrd laen bois, pleidleisiwch Blaid a stopiwch y ffasgwyr!!

Having a flatmate who sleeps through alarms is great because you have to try to make the judgement call on whether or not to check if she's died or just overslept

This is fucking disgusting and in a sane political environment should result in instant grovelling and resignation from anyone who proposes it
Katie Lam has made a video - focusing on not giving new ILR grants to people who don't have it

But quietly including the Conservative proposal to be the first government since Idi Amin in 1972 to revoke the permanent leave to remain, then expel: she underplays to what extent

So excited to read the #MapMen book!!!

I think I've ingested more lipstick than food tonight. Really need to stop licking my lips, it undermines the beautiful soft pink complement to my red dress!!!

Now, I don't want to imply that there's a good time to start to feel cold/flu symptoms, but I'd argue that the day before a fairly expensively ticketed event for which you spent too much money on getting a new dress and heels to wear to it is a particularly bad time

It's such a mixed blessing being a Scottish fan of women's sport seeing England get really good bc it's great that so much attention is now put on women's sport in the UK and it's so cool seeing all the girls get inspired but on the other hand get fucked Red Roses, o Canada terre de nos aïeux!!! 🇨🇦🍁

I love how both New Labour Prime Ministers have their One Thing that they think will solve everything (Brown's federalism, Blair's ID cards) and it almost makes me happy seeing one of them finally get to live out their dreams. This is of course outweighed by the fact that I fucking despise Blair but

It just straightforwardly *insane* how much political chatter in the United Kingdom is about the next general election, an event that is a long way in the future, and how basically none of it is about 'uh, this policy agenda doesn't look adequate to the scale of the inherited problem'.

Best part of getting the Eurostar instead of flying to and from Brussels: relatively quick, lower stress, decent environmentally

Worst part: realising you live in Scotland and need to get to London and they're doing Carlisle diverts so your return travel has been going for 9 hours and is ongoing rn

Coming to the horrible realisation that I'm the person on this trip who's the most proficient in French

After passport control at St Pancras is a weird vibe

Smugly watching the people I'm going on a trip to Brussels with complaining of problems with the Ryanair app while I gaze lovingly at my LNER+Eurostar e-tickets

Sewing Bee spoiler ignore if you care:

Órla was ROBBED!!!! The fact that I'm friends with her has no bearing on this conclusion*, she was genuinely fab and her final outfit was bonkers and fabulous and I loved it

*OK sure it does affect my opinion a little

It's quite small in comparison to the rest of his insanity but I love that in his 26 years on this Earth he's managed to share a party (at different times obvs) with Lidia Thorpe and Bob Katter. What a political rollercoaster that man has been on
Pavlou is so fucking weird, man.
The follow-up post is the best part.

Just caught the film Jaws at my local cinema. Very tense film, I think this Spielberg kid could go far

Not quite what I expected the Guardian's response to be but fair enough

You'd think after so long away from it I'd not have twitter flashbacks anymore but the memory of Astute Mel still comes back every time I hear the word astute

I'm realising the fatal flaw in signing up for a sponsored thing in that most of my friends are students and therefore have no money

Was a brave girl today and went for a run and you know what? Upon reflection I have to say I still HATE RUNNING I have no idea why you'd do this unless you also feel unsafe cycling without having full control of your grip or indeed you do not possess a bike
I can't go out cycling because I've broken my finger but I refuse to go running because it's the worst thing in humanity so I guess I will just Sit Down until my finger is better
