@JontyR9 @WillHayCardiff @OwsWills Loads of good points especially in a cost of living crisis. Was in a meeting once, where a new station was proposed in the middle of nowhere (political) and a colleague pointed out you could buy every single user an electric car and it would be better value.

@CasparProbert @WillHayCardiff @OwsWills I’ve tried to politely point some facts on rail operation previously to mr hayward but to no avail; the feasibility study for caer-aber had a BCR of just 43p/£1,with the bi mode hitachi 800x there’s no need to electrify the NWML & the core valley lines are already devolved

Ever wonder why Wales' railways are so bad? Many people don't realise how much Wales has been screwed over when it comes to rail funding. Decisions to class projects like HS2 (that are only in England) as "England and Wales" robs us of billions. It also shows why NOT devolving certain areas allows successive UK Governments to underfund us compared to Scotland and Northern Ireland. It's complicated but people need to understand how the system fails Wales in order to demand change for the better.

@BigWave372 Would be even better for companies to pay a living wage and not rely on the generosity of strangers 🤷🏻‍♂️

@EmyrLewis4 @williamnhutton I just cannot believe the numbers. Just think how many lawyers, doctors, engineers that we have plus every headteacher - add on every senedd member and their hangers on and that’s got to be over 14,000 with just those 4 job types

Labour has dominated Welsh politics. Yet Wales boasts only 14,000 higher rate tax payers - a barometer of lack of prosperity. Will Plaid change that? Or Reform? Welsh voters disillusion is understandable. But they deserve better than soft nationalism or anti-immigrant populism.

@PaulBrandITV They will all pop round to your house like they did in the last few months you can ask them then. Or in reality you won’t hear from them for another 4 years as they take their wage and MASSIVE pension!

I have had worrying reports that many people in Caerdydd Ffynnon Taf may not have received the postal vote they requested due to postal delays. It is hugely concerning that some people may now be denied the chance to vote. #Senedd2026 herald.wales/national-news/…

@ksum_parody @AlicePlez16 @British_Airways You would certainly hope so and effectively have a contract with them. However, they are a business and their aim is to make as much money as possible. The choice as a consumer is to fly with someone else if they piss you off!

@CasparProbert @AlicePlez16 @British_Airways I understand the overselling but surely this should be a 1st in best dressed situation. Instead of having to sort it out at the gate, or worse on the plane, the system should flag someone has already checked in for that seat and have the staff deal with it upfront

2 weeks ago @British_Airways bumped me from my flight after check in bc they’d oversold it & didn’t tell me. I spent 18 hours in Istanbul airport, missed tickets to watch the historic England women rugby match & lost money. Still yet to hear anything back - honestly disgraceful

@ksum_parody @AlicePlez16 @British_Airways Used to have this on a regular direct flight to Nassau. Always sent on the less busy flight later in the day via Miami and a short hop down. Given cash on a credit card to shut me up. Negotiate seat upgrade and airport lounge for inconvenience on top. Doesn’t cost them extra.

@ksum_parody @AlicePlez16 @British_Airways It’s because the stats say they will have a % no show. They then sell the other tickets (usually at an elevated price) claiming 2 lots of sales for one seat. They will pay the bumped person comp. but make extra profit. Simple.

Violent shoplifter attacks Co-op worker outside Swansea store, then gets instant karma from a passing martial arts beginner. The thug tussled with staff, hurled an object and tried to flee on an e-bike when a white-belt Jiu-Jitsu novice stepped in. The martial arts beginner used a chokehold, back control and mount to pin him down safely until police arrived, no strikes needed. SJA Martial Arts praised the novice’s composure and textbook self-defence. Proper justice.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Newly-released surveillance video shows a high school principal in Oklahoma TACKLING a school shooter before he could open fire on kids What a HERO! Principal Kirk Moore RUSHED the shooter when he aimed at his first would-be victim, wresting the gun away from him. Give this man an award. Absolute legend. The attempted shooter at Pauls Valley High School is now being held on a $1 million bond.

@MobileOats94723 @TickleTexts @nicksortor @EBaldwin9 Gave up guns after a school massacre (Dunblane) and want to know how many school mass shootings have we had since? Can you confirm the number of mass shootings and deaths in the US since 1996 (year the law was changed) - divide by 6 for per capita
