Recovering radio & tv broadcaster. Not particularly left or right, just very anti-stupid! Haven’t missed an episode of The Archers since 2007!

There are 76 asylum seekers in ex-hotels in Wales... Yes, 76! The amount of misinformation on this platform is insane.

Richard Tice and the GB News lot were acting like thugs here. Look how they behave when they go off air.

If you vote in the Welsh elections based on immigration, you are wasting your vote. The Welsh Parliament has NO CONTROL over immigration. It’s like ordering Deliveroo because your boiler has broken. One has no power to fix the other. I’m not saying you shouldn’t care about immigration as an issue, but electing people based on an issue they have no power to address makes no sense.

The Trump Gold Card: Another con and grift that turned out to be a bald-faced LIE and EPIC FAILURE. But even the words "epic failure" do not do this scam justice. 😂🤣👇

🔴'I Set Up a Fake Far-Right News Channel to Interview Reform UK Candidates and This Is What They Told Me' Reform hopefuls were quick to condemn scandals supposedly overseen by Labour, Conservative and Liberal Democrat councils, without realising.... bylinetimes.com/2026/05/01/i-s…

“Governments have lost the capacity, it seems, to say no...” Former Prime Minister Sir John Major argues that “part of the job of politics is to say no,” adding: “Too many people… parody the focus groups in their policies, which naturally means more expenditure.” #Newsnight

“The first role of any Government… is to leave something better for the next generation than your generation inherited - this is not done now” Ex-PM Sir John Major says young people are inheriting a “more difficult” and “less favourable world”. #Newsnight

Women in the green t-shirt - if we are going to talk about Nigel Farage’s record as an adult …how about the fact he takes more money from other sources to take speeches than his Government job, how about he originally supported Trump’s war in Iran. #bbcqt

1/ JOURNALISM - Context and facts matter. This video is going viral right now, suggesting that a Reform UK supporter was refused service in a @jdwtweetsuk pub because of his political leanings. The lad behind the bar remains calm and polite, but that makes no difference...
David Poulden Esq@DavidPoulden

This is blatant political discrimination. Refusing service simply for supporting Reform UK. Wetherspoon must sack this manager immediately. Pubs are for paying customers, not political gatekeepers. #FarLeftExtremist

This is a Reform candidate in Wales talking about scrapping the default 20mph limit. It probably didn't help her case that she was talking in front of a 50mph sign... There is an important conversation to have about 20mph. While it can be frustrating to drive slowly the data suggests that the policy has already paid for itself many times over in terms of savings for the taxpayer.

“It means that Nigel Farage has a kind of sponsor, a kind of sugar daddy.” @FraserNelson says Reform’s bankrolling by crypto bosses is a “major” conflict of interest, as Nigel Farage is under fire for not declaring a £5 million gift by Christopher Harborne.

@PDRNHPUK You mean you recently spoke to a Welsh woman from Cardiff. Out of interest, what does she do at the BBC? Is she a journalist or someone with editorial influence?

I recently spoke to a Welsh girl from Cardiff who was working for the BBC. She was a fanatical Welsh separatist who spat out the word English. I told her to relax, we are all British. Her Father got involved & called me a Reform fascist. These BBC people are crazy Lefties.
Plaid Cymru Exposed@PlaidExposed

In Wales, the BBC are trying their hardest to ensure a Plaid Cymru victory next week. @Nigel_Farage is right to point out that the ex-Plaid Cymru CEO is now BBC Wales’ director of programming, on £100k+/yr. All BBC coverage of this election should be viewed within that context.

While I was in Merthyr I had the most extraordinary conversation: while visiting south Wales Farage had allegedly come by helicopter - but then drove from the next valley, where the chopper was - to obscure how he travels. Reform are welcome to correct!

“Asked on Monday by the Guardian about the gift, Reform sent a legal letter asking for more time to respond. The deadline was extended until Wednesday morning. The Telegraph then published its interview with Farage before the deadline.” Typical practice theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

Are you taking the fucking piss? A private income? A one off payment of 5 million actual English pounds. As a personal gift from a dodgy crypto millionaire who the donated 9 million to the party. Yep all above board and totally normal behaviour for a completely honest and transparent party leader.
Barry of Devon@BarryofDevon

@JonathanPieNews You know Jonathan this might come as a shock but people are allowed a private income. I wonder who pays you and do they know what utter shite they got for their money?

Nigel Farage who wants to be prime minister of this country has missed 50 votes in parliament to decide the future of it. He doesnt care and you are stupid to think he does
