In a final blow to Elon Musk, the Senate has passed the Gabriella Miller Research Act to ensure that children's cancer research gets funded. This is Rep. Jennifer Wexton's bill, who is retiring due to a neurological disease.

RETWEET to thank @RepWexton for her service! 💙

Please share your thoughts on how we can create a well resourced environment to support meaningful #PublicInvolvement in research delivered in Wales. #PPI @petegee87

Barbarians vs Australia, Cardiff

[Cathy Owens @cathy_owens]

Yes, that poll is remarkable, and when you put it through my seat projector, you get the following:

Labour 25
Reform 25
Plaid Cymru 24
Conservatives 19
Lib Dems 2
Green 1

That is still either a Lab/PC coalition or a non-Lab coalition that would need to include Reform. It's the first time the projected Lab numbers have been so low that the Lab/PC coalition would need the Lib Dems or Green to join them for a stable majority.

The fact that #Palliative Care is not state funded means the #NHS had so few palliative care specialists that when I do my week on call on the Cancer ward, I don’t have the most important person on the ward round with me - the palliative care consultant or specialist nurse.

Here's a tiny snippet of my @BBCHARDtalk interview that comes out tomorrow!

I discuss growing up, becoming disabled, acting & how all that life experience has lead to my opposition to legalising assisted suicide

Confirmation of a coal tip landslip in Cwmtillery is extremely concerning

Coal tips are a legacy of an industry that extracted from Wales to enrich London

Yet the UK Government has only pledged 4% of the £600m needed to secure them

Westminster must commit to the full funding

[Liz Saville Roberts AS/MP @LSRPlaid]

The cost of securing coal tips has been estimated at £600 million. The UK Government committed just £25 million in the Budget.

This frightening landslip in Cwmtillery is a reminder of the urgency with which our governments should be treating this issue.

On Sunday, Fontaines DC are playing the Utilita Arena. Next summer they are headlining at Cardiff Castle.
Their first gig in the Welsh capital was at @TheMoonCardiff.
Now The Moon has gone.
No small venues, no future for live music.

[Phil Steele @philsteele1]

15 yrs doing the pitch side gig for @BBCScrumV taught me that the 2 most important qualities for an interviewer are trust and empathy.

@Sarraelgan showed both in spades - which made for an enthralling interview.

Well done Sarra 👍🏉

The man who made things a whole lot more difficult for farmers, now has the cheek to cosplay as a farmer, while claiming to be on their side.

Absolute charlatan.

[Parody Nigel Farage @Parody_PM]

Please spare a thought for James Dyson, the Brexit-voting billionaire who bought up 33,000 acres of farmland to avoid tax. Without people like him, farmland would be more affordable for actual farmers.

Likely raped to death.
A doctor. A stellar surgeon. The embodiment of Palestinian ethics.
Likely raped to death.

The racism of Western media who are not covering this, and Western politicians who are not denouncing this, together with the thousand other testimonies and allegations of rape and other forms of mistreatment and torture that Palestinians have suffered in Israeli jails, is absolutely sickening.

[Sam Cross @SCrossy]

Welsh Regional Rugby / WRU = turns out 10 years of poor investment in coaching, lack of quality foreign players, lack of investment in young players and academies, lack of investment in nutrition and supplementation of players / ability to be professional eg 5k/8k contracts, cutting budgets reducing squad sizes and the quality / depth of the professional game in Wales can lead to the worst national team results in history. Can’t say the boys on the field aren’t giving everything they’ve got, their just handicapped by the hand they’ve been dealt imho 🤷🏼‍♂️

This is abhorrent- a child is a child! They need to be protected 😔💔

[Andrew—#IAmTheResistance @AmoneyResists]

Holy shit this is INCREDIBLE work from @ByDonkeys. And bonus points for projecting the entire thing on @Tesla headquarters, effectively turning @elonmusk’s building’s most visible exterior side into a cinema screen to broadcast the tale of his corruption and political malfeasance

[Celia @CeliaBedelia]

Today marks the anniversary of Kristallnacht, or the "Night of Broken Glass," which took place on November 9, 1938. In remembrance, we joined a group in our neighborhood to clean Stolpersteine — small brass plaques embedded in the pavement that honor the memory of victims of the Holocaust. Each plaque is placed in front of the last known residence of an individual who was persecuted by the Nazis.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

This is a massive media scandal.

@SkyNews posted a video accurately describing what happened in Amsterdam.

It described violence perpetrated by Israeli football hooligans, and their hideous racism.

They then deleted it. This is the original.
