I had a call from a recruitment agency today who were asking about some work I did at a local authority. The recruiter asked which one and I said "Ceredigion". She said what, and I had to repeat it three times. In the end she asked me to spell it and as I started she said "Oh, Cardiff".
When I finally got it across, she said "I always struggle with the Welsh councils because there's so many, and it's almost like another language".
Almost.

I welcome the news that these properties will be bought and demolished by the local council for the sake of the residents who live in constant fear of flooding. It is the most pragmatic solution.
But how viable will this approach be as the numbers of homes that cannot realistically be saved from flooding escalates in the near future?

“We are at a turning point in how we exist online,” says @jaz, Director at Tŵt Cymru. “The legacy platforms are failing to provide safe, joyful spaces for community connection. By focusing on the “pethau bychain”, we are proving that digital sovereignty isn’t just about technology; it’s about hospitality, kindness, and taking control of our own digital heritage. This is our cyfraniad to Cymru – our contribution to the nation.”

Comparing bus fares across Great #Britain for January 2026. #London still offers the best value at £1.75, with Greater #Manchester and #Liverpool holding at £2.00. Most of #England is under the £3.00 cap, but uncapped routes in #Scotland and #Wales can be significantly more expensive.

BBC Charter renewal is more important for #Wales than any other British country.
It’s incredible that it is happening without a mobilised civil society effort to ensure that the unique provision of news, sport, art, and entertainment across BBC Wales/Cymru/S4C thrives post -2027. #Senedd26

If you - like me - are totally baffled by the complete incoherence of the Labour Party’s positioning ahead of #Senedd26, this thread from RWJ shines a bit of light on the already glaring inconsistencies in the FM’s speech on Labour’s constitutional aims for the futurenof #Wales. 🏴👇👇
