@theJeremyVine Most people lease or finance their cars. You can lease a brand new 40k Tesla for £197 a month at the moment.

@KateFantom @AutoPap My 3 year old XC90’s 1 year extended warranty with Volvo was £649. I looked at swapping to a Defender and priced up the same with Land Rover was £1149. Joining a Facebook Defender group also somewhat put me off…

@PrifWeinidog Saw you signed today with a German Mont Blanc pen, as did Mrs Morgan before you.

Perhaps in future, you’d consider a Gold Dragon pen from my Newport based pen shop ;)

@v8fettler @AutoExpress US regulators have more scope - My XC90 had subtle brake vibration and I read US tech bulletin allowing dealers to bill for new pads if problem was present, but nothing for UK. I emailed DVSA & they replied US have ‘greater authority’ than UK, who ‘work within a code of practice’

@andytruelove @DerekSymonds1 @ListerLawrence @LandRoverUK @group1autouk @thepaddymcg Of course it’s true - visit the forums, facebook groups or YouTube and how many people have NOT had this service

@EPriceJourno It seems odd in policy planning at the Senedd that LAJ inherited the seat initially from Mohammad Asghar when he died because she was the next name on the regional list, but when she (and other regional AMs and MSs) decide to leave their party, the same process isn’t enacted.

[Ross ✒ @RO55_ADA]

@EPriceJourno They need to change rules on defecting regional MSs. She wasn’t personally elected, she was a name on a list of Tory candidates, so if she wants to leave the Torys, the next person on the list should become the MS (I haven’t looked at the new system and if it fixes this)

[Ross ✒ @RO55_ADA]

@AutoPap Is that now a standard colour? That’s what the green should have always been on the new Defender 😍

[Ross ✒ @RO55_ADA]

@EPriceJourno I’ve now read up on this. When Asghar died as regional member for S Wales East, LAJ inherited his seat as she was next on the list for Tories. She subsequently won the seat in an election as the regional member, but it seems odd a death was planned for but not resignations

[Ross ✒ @RO55_ADA]

@EPriceJourno Welsh Government need to change rules on defecting -
I sort of buy that an MP or MS can defect as their name is on the ballet paper, BUT she’s a regional member and stands on a list, for a party. The next person on a list should take over if she leaves the party she stood for

@theJeremyVine @mikeparry8 @JeremyVineOn5 Can’t take anyone seriously who is ‘an expert on sausages’ but gets embarrassed when he can’t tell real meat from vegetarian. He also gave his thoughts guzzling Creme Egg Cookies & said he didn’t care how it affected his diabetes… glad we get to now hear his opinion on this 🤨

@JGriffithsLab @SWFireandRescue @NorthWalesFire @GoSafeCymru Abernant Rd, for one, needs a lower speed limit - currently 60mph even though it’s single track width and sharp curve at bottom end by Old Roman Rd. Illegal adapted cars use it daily and drive dangerously. It’s been reported by multiple residents, yet to see a police officer

[Ross ✒ @RO55_ADA]

@JGriffithsLab @SWFireandRescue @NorthWalesFire @GoSafeCymru Wrote to Jessica Morden & police about speeding on roads in Langstone - two fatal accidents, another with car in hedgerow. Lanes to Newbridge-on-Usk become like a race track, the A449 sounds like a Superbike track each evening. Police suggest RESIDENTS do speed check for them

@ListerLawrence Maybe he should buy something which handles and stops better, especially aged under 30 🙈

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

I'll tell you what goes on here. 🧵

[Ross ✒ @RO55_ADA]

@ionewells It's a shame he has to walk past cameras to do this

[Ross ✒ @RO55_ADA]

@jamminlambert @WalesOnline Yes, so imagine if the £200m was spent on making the flights from Cardiff £238 cheaper than now for the 841k passengers who used CWL last year... people would then use it over Bristol due to the cost 🤔

@GillibrandPeter Wait until you read up on chip shop vinegar...
