@TristanCorkPost @BristolCouncil It's decent feedback, happy to pass on to the team analysing the responses. I think it's a reasonable way to ask the question but appreciate that for some the approval of an RPZ will be conditional on its timings. Will pass that on to relevant people

@adam_ldr That's deity level obfuscation. I demand to be told which colour door I need to win the Lottery

@adam_ldr What was the answer?

It's been a fleeting thought in my mind about my own health. You know what it's like, "I'm fine" "It's nothing" "It's Friday". Hearing this from a chap I look up to brings immediacy home. I'm getting myself checked, anyone else? @NeilMaggs2

@adam_ldr I'm locked in for this. Wow me Mr P - good opening

With a population of about 388,000, Dyfed makes up 12.5% of Cymru’s population, yet only 24 of the 747 footballers capped since 1876 were born there. Iwan Williams investigates why. https://t.co/hvtxno9HoY

Twitter’s full of people trumpeting near zero understanding of English law or of the convictions in respect of the violence of the last 10 days or so.

Nor does the US 1st Amendment mean what many (often Americans) seem to think.

Frustrated? Maybe this will be some use.

Lovely unscripted moment this morning in the Welsh Parliament as a brilliant young choir from Ysgol Treganna in Cardiff - singing Safwn yn y Bwlch in rehearsal - bump into the Prime Minister (watch their reaction at the end 🎶)
