Digging into the Palantir contracts is like peeling an onion with a rotten core. The corruption at the heart of the British state stinks to high heaven.

@GuyInFlight @Timoldland @markchristie @LUDENClassics @danpitt33 @gj_moss @LobAllan @OctaneMark @adrianfclarke @SimonCarGuy @ListerLawrence @GPOnyx Very. Still not up to the 'quality' of North Wales yet.

[Paul Carden @PIERREPJC]

@jools_octavius @Oldtimers365 Correct.👍

@FennellJW @leo181711 @davidjmcarson1 I think what is being said is they don't need to be reposted even if a national new paper is printing/ posting them.
Which is totally up to you, but very insensitive.

It's official. @DefenceHQ KNEW there were issues with the Mark 2 helicopter at the time of the crash, but closed down any alternative views except blaming the pilots - wrongly. Thanks to @ForcesNews for seeking the FOI. Now we need an independent review.

@DeesideDotCom Can't have it better in the North.😂😂😂😂

[Tony Kerridge @KerridgeTony]

So, @bbclaurak, not a single question for Robert Jenrick about Mr Farage's relationship with Mr Harborne, then?

Or his suspicious disapperance from public scrutiny by the media?

Or Jenrick's own dodgy finances?

BBC scrutiny of the powerful without fear or favour?

I think not.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Modern Wales was written down 600 years before it existed.📜 🇬🇧

By a Welshman who vanished into the mountains 🏔️

On 16 September 1400, Owain Glyndŵr raised his banner at Glyndyfrdwy and declared himself Prince of Wales 👑

The Welsh came to him from every valley 🐉

In 1402, he won the Battle of Mynydd Hyddgen ⚔️

By 1404, most of Wales was his 🏰

That year, in Machynlleth, he did something no Welsh prince had ever done. He called a parliament 🏛️

4 envoys from every commote in Wales. Envoys from France 🇫🇷 from Spain 🇪🇸 from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 stood beside them.

Wales had a parliament. And a prince.

2 years later, at Pennal, he wrote to the King of France ✍️ It is called the Pennal Letter. It set out what Wales should be 📜

An independent Welsh church ⛪

2 Welsh universities. One in the north. One in the south 🎓

The Welsh language recognised in law 🐉

Welsh people governing themselves 🏛️

All of it written down. On 31 March 1406.

This is what Wales would become.

The English crown sent army after army ⚔️ Aberystwyth fell in 1408. Harlech fell in 1409.

His wife was taken. His daughter Catrin. His grandchildren. They died in the Tower of London 🏰

By 1412, Glyndŵr was alone. He vanished into the mountains 🏔️

He was never captured. He was never betrayed.

For 600 years, Wales had no parliament. The Welsh language was punished out of children.

But the Pennal Letter survived 📜 Held in the Archives Nationales in Paris 🇫🇷 Waiting.

In 1999, the Welsh had their assembly back 🏛️ In 2020, it was named the Senedd. The parliament of Wales 🐉

The Welsh language is now official. 2 universities for the north and the south 🎓

All that Owain wrote down. 616 years later.

He hadn't failed. He had been early.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

He is one of many.

The Welsh have been writing themselves up for centuries 🐉

Charter by charter. Parliament by parliament 📜🏛️

From one Welsh prince in a stone hall in Machynlleth 👑

Will you help us tell that story to those who need to hear? 👇🙏

Be part of us. ☝️🇬🇧

Be Proud Of Us. 🙏🇬🇧

Great shame for the hard working organisers and volunteers.

Ever wonder why Wales' railways are so bad?

Many people don't realise how much Wales has been screwed over when it comes to rail funding.

Decisions to class projects like HS2 (that are only in England) as "England and Wales" robs us of billions.

It also shows why NOT devolving certain areas allows successive UK Governments to underfund us compared to Scotland and Northern Ireland.

It's complicated but people need to understand how the system fails Wales in order to demand change for the better.
