Can’t stay in Musk’s toxic playground any longer. Moving over to the other place where I’m @lesleyherb.bsky.social x

@lauravarnam @NineArchesPress A privilege to hear you Laura. I was profoundly moved and impacted by The Name of the Father. You’ve given voice not only to Grendel’s mother but to all of us who know. Thank you 🙏

@diana_ward1 Thanks Diana x

When Mr H’s biggest concern about any augmented communication technology is that it should enable him to say please & thank you ❤️

I owe so much to these steelworks. His father’s job there kept my husband clothed & fed as a boy growing up on Sandfields in the 60s. Am tremendously sad that today brings fear & uncertainty to the generations that have followed. Thank you for reaching out @Sioned_W @Plaid_Cymru

[Sioned Williams AS/MS @Sioned_W]

The day so many of us have been dreading is here - the last blast furnace at Port Talbot steelworks is being decommissioned.

Broken promises mean that there'll be a devastating impact on jobs and the wider community.

If I can help you with something, please get in touch.

[Dr Kevin Fong @Kevin_Fong]

Thank you to the many thousands of people across the whole of the NHS & social care who helped deliver the care during the pandemic. Has been a strange and difficult day. But felt it was important to give witness to some small part of the enormity of the challenge we all faced.

@SarahM0rse @CREWswanuni I’m just 1 year into my relationship with @CREWswanuni and it was wonderful to finally ‘meet’ Wynn and to understand some of the legacy that @DanielGwydion and Kirsti carry so beautifully. I consider myself immensely lucky too!

[Swansea University @SwanseaUni]

🎉 Great news!

#SwanseaUni has once again been named the top university in Wales, according to The Guardian University Guide 2025.

Llongyfarchiadau Mr H 👏👏💚💚

@VProofreader Awesome. Many congrats Doc! 👏👏

[Llinos Medi AS/MP @llinos_medi]

Seeing the vast wealth on display at the state opening of Parliament today felt uncomfortable while core services are having to be cut in our communities

Unfortunately, the content of the Speech did not reflect the scale of the change needed either

#StopTheFarRight - here, there, everywhere.

[Mark Brown @MarkOneinFour]

I feel a huge amount of grief this morning. Grief for lost futures, lost people, ruined things and for all the ways that the last 14 years made life for people harder, rougher, more dangerous, smaller, shorter. I suppose grief isn't a very political emotion, but that's where I am

[Lesley Herbert @res_rey]

@LeanneWood Rebuilding trust in politics may be the biggest challenge now. Heartbreaking to have seen disenfranchisement amongst most disadvantaged. Spirits broken as well as personal finances & public services. Demonstration of hope & integrity by @Plaid_Cymru offers real alternative.

[Plaid Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @Plaid_Cymru]

Well, it is a very good morning in Wales. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

This was Plaid Cymru's best ever result in a General Election.

Our 4 Plaid Cymru MPs will now work tirelessly to make sure Wales' voice is not ignored by the incoming Labour government.
