Any shovels in the ground yet? This was meant to get going when I was living in St Mellons many moons ago.

“We cannot say that the United States’ actions are against international law, but we condemn Iran’s retaliatory actions as against international law,” is neither a coherent nor a compelling position.
This is not a reasoned political response. Labour has spent two years making all the voting groups who backed the Greens feel unwelcome and unheard, and now attacks them for daring to back someone else. They believe Labour isn’t listening and Starmer seems determined to prove them right
Spot on - and on full display this morning on BBC, Sky etc.

Said this to @ceritheviking.bsky.social earlier today. Worth repeating.
Burnham must be thanking the election gods on Labour’s NEC.
No way he would have won that seat after this.
Bullet dodged.
PM Rayner incoming…

Putting the numbers into @jaclarner.bsky.social’s Senedd election simulator, suggests the following potential Senedd composition:
Interestingly, these numbers put Plaid very close to majority govt or, more likely, a vaguely comfortable life as a minority administration? #senedd #devolution
Wow.
Well done all involved.
Looking forward to seeing @anthonyslaughter.bsky.social and many more in the Senedd very soon.

Gary Neville saying it’s a mystery why Liverpool have dropped off.
Not a single mention of the fact they lost their best mate in the summer.
Yeah, a mystery.
This is the kind of shit I can get behind.

Israel’s ban on 37 humanitarian organisations, including Doctors Without Borders, from entering Gaza is another war crime.
The Green Party condemns this decision and calls for immediate international action to protect humanitarian actors.
#GoodNews - not quite #UniversalBasicIncome, but headed in that direction.
With the understanding that people in poverty's problem is lack of money

If only there were some way, mathematically, to defeat 33% of the population. Alas, it is impossible, and Labour have no choice but to acquiesce to their every demand and nevertheless accept their humiliating defeat as a fait accompli.
