So the IBA wash their hands. The sports ruling body says the Olympics can do what they like.

@20splentyforus No basic issues with the 20s , it needs tweaking in some areas . It the 40 down to 30 & the 70 down to 50 that creates havoc and in many locations little or no sense

@carltonreid @laura_laker Love to see this 6.30 on a January morning. No lights to accommodate the winter commute

[Dominic Grieve @dominicgrieve_]

Ten years ago this month that David Cameron dispensed with my services as AG. I had told him that his plans to scrap the HRA and threaten to leave the ECHR if it proved incompatible with his British Bill of Rights were unworkable and would not help solve our security or immigration challenges one bit. So it proved. When published, his plans were quickly shown to be flawed and never implemented.
Ten years on, despite the repeated huffing and puffing, we still have both the HRA and the ECHR. This despite having had Suella Braverman as both Home Secretary and as a parody AG.

One might have hoped that the penny would have dropped that the policy serves no useful purpose, as any minor benefit will be entirely outweighed by the downsides. We must be thankful that Rishi Sunak seems to have realised this as did the last AG Victoria Prentis.

So it is depressing to see candidates for the Conservative leadership such as Tom Tugendhat return yet again to this theme. It has become a kind of ritual, without which no candidate feels they could be acceptable to the membership. And that I am afraid also shows how the Conservative Party continues to be mired in ideological fantasies that lead directly to its wipe out this year. For a Party whose members used to laugh at the inanity of Labour supporters singing the Red Flag at the end of their conferences, it is a sad reflection on where common sense has gone.

@CrimeGirI Just great to read a thread that got no AI or political agenda, just good kid fashioned anecdote how silly adults can be and how clever kids are

[Paul @druidtaff]

@WGEconomy How much is this going to cost us

[Paul @druidtaff]

@Generali11 @boringscience1 @WMerciaRoads Nothing to do with it as maximum E is unlikely to be reach in such . As it is at most a glancing blow , anyway the general principle of giving cyclists as much space as possible is good one

@ldgower2 Can you get rid of the one with doughnuts on it , feels hungry every time I go past it 😂

[Paul @druidtaff]

@SeneddResearch @SeneddCultureIR Nothing to do with miss management, and incompetent staff at the senior levels then.

[Paul @druidtaff]

@WelshGovernment Just can’t wait , whoopee……..

[Paul @druidtaff]

@JeffAce3 @ospreys Totally agree with you , not seen Glamorgan since they left St Helen. Though ironically my grandkids have got me to go watch them play in the 100 next month

[Paul @druidtaff]

@MattSouth7 @ITVWales Does the university fit into this ; I understand they looking to build their sports profile.?

[Paul @druidtaff]

@Pibydd The next Welsh election will be fascinating . Would PC get in bed with Reform to take control of the Senedd away from Labour. Reform don’t have funding issues, let see if they willing to spend it on wowing the youth vote …

[Paul @druidtaff]

@EvansTheCrime Funny Wales was heavy on the “leave” side of Brexit, but not one #Reform seat . Reform bit too English centric maybe. #UKElection2024

@RosieP4 @MichelleDuffy33 On a practical level convert the green electricity into hydrogen pipe it , use it and or covert back to electricity locally .
