“I am a very innocent man” - Donald Trump

Women have lost their reproductive rights in America. Innocent women & children are murdered in Gaza. Women are systematically abused by the police force. On average, men earn 18% more than women. But trans people having equal rights is the biggest threat to c|s women?

So thrilled my druid parka, inspired by Eglwysilan and the Aber Valley, will be exhibited in this year's Y Lle Celf (the art exhibition in the @eisteddfod)! And in Pontypridd too! Such a lovely collaboration with @Patternistas and Lindsay Bonaccorsi

Nigel Farage has been on the BBC AT LEAST once every day since Rishi Sunak called the Election. Green's 0 times, Independents 0 times, SNP 0 times. I think you get the picture.

Looking forward to our next baking workshop for kids - this Wednesday. A few places left. Book via eventbrite.co.uk/o/brd-the-d…

Cost of compulsory national service: £2.5bn a year. Cost of pay rise for junior doctors that ministers insist is “simply unaffordable”: £2bn a year.

Maybe, instead of National Service for 18 year olds they should introduce national service for MPs. They all have to do several weeks volunteering in a school, GP, hospital, care home, social care and police within their first 12 months in office.

Ian Hislop, "Paula Vennells cried 4 times for herself.. It was a really disgraceful performance" #HIGNFY "She said things like: I didn't know they were prosecuting these people when I took over.. That isn't true, it's all lies" Ruth Davidson, "I also don't understand how you can take over an organisation where after a new computer system comes in 1 in 12 people had got their hands in the till" Richard Osman, "But you work for the Tory party" Ian Hislop, "If, what is happening is that the money you've claimed they have stolen is returned to the Post Office, and you take it out as a bonus, which they did, that's straight forward theft" Phil Wang, "What did Vennells admit was a personal failure?" Ian Hislop, "She said he was too trusting.. That's the Prince Andrew defence.. I was too noble" Richard Osman, "I can't sweat" Paul Merton, "I use all my inner water for tears.. And her tears reached No 10 Downing Street"

Man in blue, "Thames Water on the verge of going bust.. The water industry is the perfect business model.. Their market is every home, every business.. Their customers are forced to use their company.. There's zero competition.. They're selling a product made up of 70% of the earth's surface.. If you cannot get that right, you should not be running a business" #BBCQT

Pedestrian Deaths 2013-2022 99% of deaths are caused by people driving motor vehicles The government turning on cyclists is a distraction from their failure to save pedestrian lives over the last decade

I still can’t quite believe this happened. What does it say about our society?

For those who say roads with a 20 mph limit are a 'waste of money' or 'ridiculous', let me tell you this, it bloody saves lives! I was running in #Cardiff today, and as I was halfway across a pedestrian crossing, a car hit me. No serious injuries, and generally okay with a chipped tooth, bruised ribs and what will probably be some aches and pains for a few weeks/months. But otherwise, okay! 20 is plenty! Also, massive thanks to A&E at The Heath @CV_UHB, who triaged, scanned and treated me within 2 hours! Take note @WelshGovernment @KenSkatesMS when reviewing!

Wes Streeting, "I don't think we have a sick note culture and a lazy workforce. I think we have a sickness problem and a lazy government" #BBCQT "Only this Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, sat in No 10, looking at NHS waiting lists, just south of 8 million, looking at mental health waiting lists that see 40,000 children waiting two years for treatment, and thinks what we really need to do is sort out the bit of the system that gives them that gives them sick notes, rather than sort out the bit of the system that keeps them waiting so long for treatment and care" "And of course GPs are having a real problem with their work load.. If we want to sort this problem out.. Let's deliver more appointments.. Mental health hubs.. Let's double the number of scanner and diagnose earlier.. If we can get people treated and back on their feet we can get them back to work" "Rishi Sunak has not got the first clue, what it is like, to lay awake at night worrying about whether you can pay your rent, your mortgage, whether your home is going to be repossessed, whether you're going to be evicted, whether your kids are going to self harm, he hasn't got the first clue"

‘BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE’ A perfect theme for us! The @CILIPIreland /@LAIonline Joint Annual Conference is on 24/ 25 Apr in Newry. We so look forward to sharing our exciting work in #librarydesign in Ireland! Check out @CavanLibrary for example. thedesignconcept.co.uk/proje…

Make no mistake: the Tories’ introduction of photo ID to vote is designed to stop younger & historically marginalised people from voting. Do not let them. The Mayoral election is 50 days away. Sign up for your free photo ID now & RT to raise awareness ⬇️ electoralcommission.org.uk/v…

What do you call it when you give 10 million to a political party, whilst receiving 400 million in public contracts?
