Yea the weather is a Thing in Wales, you get four seasons in one day. I spent many hours back in the day when my daughter was training every day after school at the pool in Sophia Gardens, must have spent a fortune on coffee waiting. Enjoy.

So many people so few brain cells, none of them capable of thinking things through or understanding simple concepts. Not sure if the current government understands how big a problem it is to have large numbers of people so badly informed.

Labour has been quietly achieving stuff in the background without media coverage, but now they really need to announce some massive initiative that will shut up the whingers. Start by dropping the red lines about Brexit and acknowledge it is a disaster.

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

Quite. Itās only a problem because the media makes it one and simultaneously linking it with housing shortage. And conveniently ignoring the fact that Brexit is largely to blame.
