Journalist and BBC survivor. For the time being just dogs / cooking / decorating / Lotus restorer / Wales and Cardiff Rugby. And a bit of dabbling in politics!

This is, quite simply, the best thing on the internet right now.

One of these guys is a genius.

The other is a fruitcake.

‘Grate news’!! Or perhaps a sly hint at grated cheese?

[Welsh Government Rural Affairs @WGRural]

DYK today is #NationalCheeseDay in the USA? 🇺🇸

Here in Wales, Carmarthenshire-based @CawsCenarth recently received the grate news they have been granted a Royal Warrant of Appointment to His Majesty King Charles III

We asked boss Carwyn what makes their cheese fit for a king 👑

Dear @BBCNews

In the run up to the general election can you PLEASE replace Fiona Bruce with Victoria Derbyshire immediately.

Kind regards

The British viewers

So #bbcqt kicks off its election programmes with Labour's Bridget Phillipson, the Lib Dem's Daisy Cooper and TWO Tory men in suits. Robbie Gibbs obviously firmly at the helm.

I wonder how much money was wasted on this oppressive and petulant prosecution...

One of our finest broadcast journalists set to leave Newsnight and the BBC. It would be less of a moment if the Corporation was committed to offering audiences what Mark has done. To allow so much ability to disappear and not be replaced is to betray public service broadcasting

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

I don't want lower taxes.

I want hospital beds.

Trains that run on time.

Kids who aren't too hungry to learn.

Libraries in every town.

Rivers that don't run with slurry.

Local councils not forced into bankruptcy.

Politicians who don't venally line their own pockets.

Interesting take from George Monbiot on the current protests by Welsh Farmers. Fomented by a far-right conspiracy theorist aided by... Rishi Sunak.

How embarrassing! The things you find captured on Google Streetview when you're just trying to find out the best way from the Aviva Stadium to the pub. Erne Street Upper in Dublin. #DogsofStreetview

It might just be me but isn't Johnson being far more argumentative and confrontational with the female KCs representing Welsh and Scottish interests that he was with the inquiry's KC Hugo Keith? #covidinquiryUK

@Cardiff_Rugby 31 DHL Stormers 24 🤣🤣🤣. That’ll teach DHL couriers not to break a £35 and irreplaceable bottle of my 2015 Bordeaux again like this week. #Revenge

Thanks to @Cardiff_Rugby and Matt Sherratt for the special surprise delivery of our new season tickets!

The Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (England) Regulations 2007 removed the EU flag from the list of flags that can be legally flown from a public building without planning consent.

Maybe we need to extend the law to public bodies such as the BBC when broadcasting, so the BBC would be breaking the law if they allowed EU flags at next year's Last Night of the Proms.

We need to stop BBC turning next year’s event into a political event.

A classic @Duolingo exercise phrase to translate from the French! “There’s a problem; He wants to come with his cow.” Has to be up there with “Help! My postillion is on fire!” #dodgytranslations

[Amnesty UK @AmnestyUK]

Protest is a human right.
Our right to protest is protected by the Human Rights Act.
Our right to protest is protected by international law.

Don’t let anyone tell you different

Republican protesters near Trafalgar Square being told by a Met Police officer that they may be arrested for public nuisance for chanting “Not My King”

[Republic @RepublicStaff]

So much for the right to peaceful protest #NotMyKing #AbolishTheMonarchy
