Mainly politics... mainly Welsh politics... My views are mine and mine alone... unless I retweet, then they are someone else's that I may or may not share.

@EveryDoctorUK @theodoraclarke - with your oft stated support for County Hospital and NHS I hope that you can support this.

@doctor_oxford It's so depressing.

How can we trust this government, they make it impossible.

Best voting advice: Voting isn’t marriage. It’s public transport. You’re not waiting for "the one". You’re getting on the bus. And if there isn’t one going exactly to your destination, you don’t stay home and sulk. You take the one that’s going closest to where you want to be.

@theodoraclarke I'm disappointed that your response appears to be just boilerplate. Given that I know that you've stood up for your own views in the past, including disagreeing with your uncle, are you not going to give your own view on the issue as well as simply "raising the concern" ?

@JiffyRugby @GuinnessIreland @GuinnessGB The Crown and Cushion 133-135 Westminster Bridge Rd, SE1 7HR. Some of the best Guinness in London. Traditional pub and can be busy if there's rugby or football on, especially if Ireland are involved. Used to work locally and went in regularly. Now sadly a lot less often.

“It is not too late. We have an interview prepared. Oven-ready, as Mr Johnson likes to say”

Andrew Neil issues a challenge for Boris Johnson to commit to an interview with him, to face questions on why people have “deemed him to be untrustworthy”

The EU is not tired of the UK. The EU is not tired of the British people.

We are simply tired of Prime Ministers who don’t understand that if they don’t get their deal through Parliament they should put it back to the people.

Nine Catalan political leaders have just been sentenced by the Spanish justice to up to 13 years in prison for exercising the right to self-determination and calling for peaceful protests.

If you care about human rights, copy, paste, tweet this message, and #StandUpForCatalonia

[António Costa @eucopresident]

.@BorisJohnson, what’s at stake is not winning some stupid blame game. At stake is the future of Europe and the UK as well as the security and interests of our people. You don’t want a deal, you don’t want an extension, you don’t want to revoke, quo vadis?

[European Commission @EU_Commission]

Your freedom of movement is more than a fundamental right.

It’s also a reality enjoyed by millions of Europeans.

We protect your right to live, work and retire anywhere in Europe.

Philip Hammond, ex-Chancellor, seriously suggests in today’s Times that one reason the Prime Minister may want a hard Brexit is so that his backers in the City don’t lose billions — corruption on a scale I wouldn’t dare put in fiction

[John Simpson @JohnSimpsonNews]

Boris Johnson skips a press conference because of a demo. I once watched Margaret Thatcher land in Zambia, charge down the aircraft steps in the dark into the middle of a hostile crowd & give an impromptu presser even though she'd been told people might throw acid at her.

[Neil Reynolds 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @AnotherANR]

Does he really expect us to believe that Boris was lying about that. Surely not!

“The United Kingdom has not proposed any alternatives and anything that is legally credible.”

European Parliament President David Sassoli says the UK government has offered no initiative to reopen Brexit talks - and that “there cannot be an agreement without a backstop”.

Our solicitors @balfourmanson have written to the UK Govt, the Speaker & others explaining the legal effect of today’s judgment is that the #prorogation has no effect & therefore the UK parliament should be reconvened without further delay #Cherrycase #Brexit

The head of the Westminster government has shown that it's OK to ignore the law. So there's no need for WG to keep to the Official Secrets Act. That is Boris' example isn't it?

[Edwin Hayward @edwinhayward]

I wonder if the Welsh Government would risk the wrath of Westminster by releasing the full Operation Yellowhammer document if it turns out we've been fobbed off with some cut-down rubbish? They've seen it under tight NDA, but maybe the vote in Parliament would shield them?
