The Welsh parliament, Nigel Farage, @prifweinidog.gov.wales @eddavey.libdems.org.uk & @zackpolanski.bsky.social are all now in agreement that we need a govt-led inquiry into Russian interference. So what on earth is the problem??

The West still hasn’t industrialised its defence.

Turning Bakhmut into lifeless ruins in 2023 cost Russia over 100k men and most of Wagner, their most effective assault forces.

When I was a graduate student I frequently went to the Isle of May with the St Andrew’s diving club. Lots of seals around there. Tentsmuir beach was another good place.
