There were 33k asylum seekers in hotels at the last count, far fewer than 56k peak in Sep23. Main difference now is the political temperature.

A reminder that Wales has a long way to go as a political entity when two people of this stature felt they needed to wait for a development in England to act in Wales

The blurred lines between welsh government and Uk government in wales I thought labour would clear up are getting worse. This will just confuse investors. Should be welsh gov Welsh Secretary Heads to US and Canada to Boost Trade and Investment businessnewswales.com/welsh-secretar…

Interesting comment from Labour MP on Corbyn's new party . 2026 Senedd election always had the potential to be a ' protest anyone but Labour ' election . Does Corbyn's party increase that potential?

Copper slag bricks: In 1907 A P Vivian erected a brick works at the Hafod copperworks, costing £4,027. The bricks produced were made of crushed slag. These slag bricks were widely used on the site, notably on the Vivian locomotive shed but they have not weathered well.

This is surely beyond all rational debate? Welsh rugby has been failed by many of its senior administrators over the past 40 years, with the two mentioned by Peter particularly culpable. The Western Mail also failed the game in that period. The change in tone there is welcome.

Generally thought welsh gov have been very good with office / remote work strategy. Some strange language in this story. Bit if horizon scanning and looking to the future and these sites should be wider public sector hubs not just welsh gov. The future? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Wow, this intricate net bag is an extraordinary survival from ancient Egypt 3,600 years ago! Made from linen string, it was used to suspend the ceramic flask from a wooden carrying pole. Excavated at Qurna, near Thebes, in 1908. National Museum of Scotland šŸ“· by me

News channels are going nuts to welcome a president who has said and done things far worse than what just got the mataechef presenters pilloried and sacked for. Strange world l. Greg must be fuming!

Never mind the cost so much. Good prep is good prep. But Two very long flights when you don’t need them as prep seems mad.

Anyone else quite like to see the Aussies really show up today if not win just to put some spark into what (for me) has been quite a flat tour ? It has been a bit flat hasn’t it or am I just too far removed? It’s no 2001 when I did it , is those who go changing maybe? #lions
