Nick Palit

BBC journalist working on Wales Today - sharing news and views from across Wales - tweet me your stories. My views not the BBCs

[Adrian Masters @adrianmasters84]

So sad to have had to write this tribute to my friend Nick Powell. He was one of the most significant journalists in Welsh politics, spanning the pre- and post-devolution eras. Conversations with him over a pint ranged far and wide. I’ll miss him very much.

A tribute to our friend and colleague Nick Powell whose passing has deeply saddened everyone who had the privilege to work with him.

Journalist or pompous a… ?

[Dystopian Girl #FBPE - dystopiangirl.bsky.social @DistopianGirl]

This is who the Tory Party allowed into our politics. They got behind him 100%. They worshipped him like a God. They wrapped themselves around his fake Christian Populism like flies around shit. They united behind Putin & betrayed their own country. They are all traitorous scum!

Haha... Da iawn @michaelsheen 😂

They defund the NHS so it looks like it’s failed. Then we have to turn to privatisation and they cash in. They close all safe routes for asylum seekers entitled to our help under the human rights convention we signed up to. Then they blame asylum seekers themselves for crossing in boats and hold them up as racist bait in hotels while they wait years to be processed. They do this because they know capitalising on racism and attacking vulnerable people is a vote winner, even though it shouldn’t be. People die as a result of their inept policies. They blatantly throw parties and socialise during a pandemic whilst making it illegal for us to do so. They capitalise on the pandemic with commercial nepotism and corruption. They empower criminals and spread hate to distract from their BS. They attack the legal professionals protecting our rights by calling them lefty lawyers. They put inflation through the roof. They make house ownership an impossible dream whilst causing rents to rise everywhere. They increase energy bills to insane amounts, whilst passing laws to allow sewage to be dumped in our rivers and waters and discrediting any scientist who points out environmental or climate crises. They abdicate all responsibility for the bonkers mess of Brexit, the gift that keeps taking, and burden taxpayers with hare-brained unlawful multimillion pound deals to deport people to Rwanda with no right of appeal. They and their supporters have done so much damage to this country. Don’t let them completely destroy it. Let’s vote them out when we can… They are the worst of us.

BORIS JOHNSON. At last it has been proved he is a liar. His big lie about Brexit with the red bus £300m per week was outrageous. When I ran public companies if I lied to my shareholders I would put in jail. The damage he has caused by this lie resulting in Brexit has created catastrophic situation. Small business suffering the effect of Brexit, migration of doctors ,nurses ,drivers

Ireland booms while little Brexit Britain whimpers with its empty shelves ,stagnant wages and spiralling inflation.
At least the Irish are seeing brexit's sunlit uplands. To think some people used to joke and say The Irish were thick 🤣🤣🤣🤣 https://t.co/udil3JDvKV

Hi @OctopusEnergy
My home contract is up in July, despite wholesale prices collapsing,you cannot be serious with these rates?

How can you charge these rates, when I’m looking at Business tariffs of 25p kWh electric 30 % cheaper than you ) and gas 6-7p ( 30% cheaper than you)

[Danny Baker @prodnose]

Everything rotten in Britain stems from this period. Everything.
Landlord rents. Shit in the rivers. Zero work hours. No British industry. Gas, electric bills through the roof,
No affordable housing.
All of it.

[Supertanskiii @supertanskiii]

Don’t want to watch GB News? Don’t worry, you can watch @MarinaPurkiss destroy Jacob Rees Mogg here 👇🏼

This is actually the closest I’ve ever come to pitying him.

Ps: Wonder if he supports fracking due to his alleged financial interests in the fossil fuel industry via Odey?

[Tim Johns @timoncheese]

Stunning and devastating opening from Newsnight tonight.
Harsh, yes. Media students (and current broadcast journalists!) take note: your edit is nothing without the right choice of music. And oh boy this is quite the choice.

[Scott Bryan @scottygb]

Hell of a clarification at the end of Channel 4 News tonight.

[Alex Taylor @AlexTaylorNews]

No one has ever called out, with such clarity and sheer authority the "glaring omissions" of UK broadcasters who refuse to discuss Brexit ("the obvious economic cause of major change in this country)" as @maitlis just has here in one minute 👏👏
Absolutely this 💯👇👇👇

[knowgum #FBPA #NHSLove | @UKnoGum]

@annietrev @express @BorisJohnson @trussliz @tradegovuk UK Trade with EU (thrown away due to Brexit) = £100bn.

UK Trade deal since Brexit (damages UK business) = £18bn.

Difference = £82bn loss.

That's the same throwing away 82p of every £1 in your pocket, & then announcing how good you are with money... You'd be a laughing stock.

[MI6 ROGUE @mi6rogue]

Just in case you have never seen this list, this was stored in the Tory whips safe to use as leverage to blackmail MPs. It is a snapshot of a scandal among top Tory MPs. #BorisJohnson
