@brianeofChilliw @WelshLabour So 90 ,000 people fit into Wembley so 65, 000 wouldn't fill the place

@WelshLabour More Lies

Nine hospitals across Wales will be receiving new scanning and X-ray equipment, to create faster and better diagnoses. Lots done, lots more to do.

@RogerHelmerMEP Can we have a little shout out for Brexit if we are talking about uk growth being smashed

Remind me, will you — what’s half of zero?

@RUKWales Was Brexit a case of Reform backing Welsh farmers? Asking for the whole of Wales #Brexit #reform

Labour’s green obsession will cost thousands of rural jobs. Enough. Time to let farmers farm again.

Goodnight all

@nickfshort @guywalters Budvar I hope in those glasses

You meet the strangest people in #Prague.

@FXMC1957 Still remembered in the Czech Republic for all the wrong reasons

18 March 1869. Neville Chamberlain, British Prime Minister from 1937 to 1940 and Chancellor of the Exchequer from 1931 to 1937, was born in Birmingham. His name is forever associated with the policy of appeasement which failed to prevent the Second World War.

In 1943, a German fighter pilot spared an American B-17, decades later the two finally meets 🥹 In one of the most extraordinary stories from World War II, Franz Stigler encountered a badly damaged American B‑17 Flying Fortress piloted by Charles “Charlie” Brown on 20 December 1943 over German‑occupied Europe. Brown’s bomber had been ripped apart by flak and fighters, losing engines and crew members, yet was somehow still airborne. Instead of shooting the crippled plane down as his orders and duty as a German fighter pilot might have dictated - Stigler chose not to fire, drove off other German aircraft, and escorted the wounded bomber toward safety, even flying close enough that German gunners would not risk hitting their own pilot. Stigler later explained he could not bring himself to kill men who could no longer defend themselves; to him, they were as defenseless as parachutists. Brown managed to return to England, and for nearly 50 years neither man knew whether the other had survived. In 1990, after a long search by Brown, the two pilots finally met, embraced, and formed a deep friendship that lasted until their deaths in 2008. Their unprecedented story stands as a powerful reminder that even in the harshest realities of war, compassion and shared humanity can rise above conflict, forging bonds between former enemies that endure long after the fighting has ended.

@HeldinEU Is it worth paying a ransom

Went to pick up my work clogs at 15.45. Cobbler shop closed. No note saying why. I might never see my clogs again 😱

@reformparty_uk So basically you want the planet to burn due to global warming

A Reform UK government will cut your energy bill by £200. ✅

Sean Penn missed the Oscars ceremony where he received an Oscar, and went to Ukraine instead. Thank you for standing with Ukraine, Sir! Congratulations!

Visiting Lidice, the village near Prague the Nazis liquidated as a reprisal for the assassination of Heydrich. The memorial to the eighty-two children who were killed is unbearably affecting. They were gassed in trucks en route to Chelmno.

@DanWalesReform Have you sorted out the Welsh translation on the front of it ? Does it tell public sector workers how reform are going to steal their pension pots ? #reform #danthomas

A week ago we launched our manifesto. A credible and ambitious blueprint for government. On May 7, we have a chance to deliver the real change Wales deserves.

@TiceRichard @fleming77 Reform's master plan is to smash public services

The public want faster, better services. The GOV.UK app already works fairly well. What they don’t want is a digital identity card system by stealth. Today in the Commons I asked a simple question: is this really Digital plan about improving public services or is it introducing a digital ID card through the back door?
