@tfwrail Doesn’t explain why the Newport destination queue did not move, but other queues with trains passing through Newport were moving. This is not a H&S issue, but shambolic management and logistics in getting people home to the nearest train station to Cardiff! @jessicamordenmp
@transport_wales I thought things were getting better after matches, but absolute shitshow after game today. Newport (closest station!) queue not moved for 45 minutes! How??!

This was how Vaughan Gething's donor Atlantic Recycling Limited left a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
For this, and then failing to clear it up they were given a £10,000 fine and ordered to pay costs of £200,000 after the court heard that toxic liquids had leached into the water courses at the site. A judge called it "substantial and serious pollution".
Four years later, Mr Neal was fined a further £30,000 and given an 18-week suspended prison sentence for failing to comply with the legal notices or to provide adequate plans to improve his operations. His companies were also fined £130,000 and ordered to pay £50,000 in costs. A spokesperson for Natural Resources Wales at the time said that Mr Neal "continues to show a lack of respect for the rules we enforce and for the health of the environment".
These picture were used in the prosecution of the company and were taken at their site on the Gwent Levels which is home to lots of rare species.
Mr Neal and his associated companies have donated heavily to the First Minister Vaughan Gething. Mr Gething accepted donations adding up £80,000 in 2018 from Mr Neal's companies just a year after this prosecution and accepted a further £200,000 last winter as part of his bid to become First Minister.
The same day the company made the most recent donation they also applied to build a solar farm on a site nearby that will need Welsh Government approval. The company also received £400,000 in loans from the Welsh Government owned Development Bank of Wales (which Mr Gething was responsible at the time).

Gordon Brown, "It's a sign of the times that John Major and I find ourselves more on the same side, than on opposite sides"
"We're not trying to make Cameron-style comebacks"
"I'm too old for British politics and too young for American politcis"
"A few years ago, John, Tony and I were three former Prime Ministers, now there are seven. The Conservative party seems to have found the magic formula for the mass production of ex Prime Ministers.. With perhaps some more to come"
Brilliant introduction @GordonBrown 👏😁
