An article I wrote for the @guardian on the pressures of having to be overly positive - and some of the inherent dangers

Utter clown show, a pathetic bunch.

[Will Hayward @WillHayCardiff]

You genuinely couldn’t make this up.

Reform UK called a press conference at the Welsh Parliament claiming that they were boycotting the Senedd because their “free speech” was being impinged on.

Joe Martin then said “how dare you ask that” to a journalist who asked a question he didn’t like then when I asked a question they walked off.

Quite an ending to a press conference about free speech…

Reform in Wales are a clown show

"If you silence one of us you silence us all"
Helen Jenner MS, Reform UK’s Welsh leader

Reform boycotts today's Welsh Parliament plenary session in support of Joe Martin, one of their Senedd members. 

Yesterday Martin was told he wouldn't be invited to speak in the Senedd Siambr again until he apologised over a contribution deemed (by the Presiding Officer) "unnecessarily provocative and deliberately offensive"

This relates to a question the MS asked in which he made claims (widely disputed) about "the demographic replacement of white British people taking place in the UK"

I know it’s not the main issue just now but….when you recall Russell Brand was once invited to give evidence to the Home Affairs Select Committee (on drugs)….maybe celebrity isn’t a good basis for giving advice to Parliament/Govt.

Not the only example.

🚨 🚑 Dying people shouldn’t have to spend their precious final weeks in the back of an ambulance or waiting in a busy A&E.

But sadly, our new research with @KingsCollegeLon shows a 20% increase in visits to Emergency Departments made by people at the end of life between 2014 and 2023 in England.

@DeAthCardiff Dan, it isnt for you, but not everyone listens to it unironically. They have a form of social commentary down to a tee that doesn't suit everyone. Check out Iggy's thoughts on them. https://t.co/uMlVyhaSzv
