Just finished my mam's 80th birthday lunch*, a chunk of which I spent furiously refreshing the BBC Cricket page for the @GlamCricket Somerset score.
County cricket, eh? Bloody hell.
Whoooah, Glammy Glammy...!
* yes, I'm a terrible son.

This is just insane. Incredible scenes in Gwyr/Abertawe.

Plaid Cymru top in Gwyr Abertawe, which covers most of the city of Swansea. Along with dominant displays in the two Cardiff seats, and it's a major breakthrough for the party in the country's two largest urban centres. Also did much better than expected in Newport.

Early days but Reform activists here in Pontypridd Cynon Merthyr telling me the Plaid Cymru vote is looking “overwhelming.”
They say even in the Gurnos estate in Merthyr (where Nigel Farage launched his 2024 General Election campaign) looks like it’s coming through for Plaid.

Of the current crop, I think it's Chocobares who most reminds me of Gibbs' vibe.
Which is an instinct to ignore gaps, size up where the opposition's defence is strongest, and run directly at that. And smash it to bits.

Interestingly*, at 10pm, just as polls closed, the frothing far-right fringe of my 'For You' feed pivoted from Reform-praise to Hantavirus conspiracies.

@owainrhyslewis Mae'n debygol iawn, erbyn cyrraedd y 5ed neu'r 6ed sedd mewn etholaeth, mai ychydig gannoedd o bleidleisiau bydd ynddi.
Fel ti'n dweud, anodd dychmygu sut na fydd achosion cyfreithio yn codi o hyn.
CY
ma hyn yn smonach llwyr. anodd peidio gweld hyn yn arwain at achosion cyfreithiol a galwadau i gynnal yr etholiad eto. rhaid gofyn y cwestiwn: pam ddiawl fod elfennau hanfodol o'r system ddemocrataidd wedi'u preifateiddio?

New from @elliwsan More than 1,300 voters in Cardiff left without postal ballots, council confirms. Royal Mail says they were never printed, despite council claims to the contrary previously.

Mae Dwayne yn llygad ei le fan hyn, wrth gwrs.
Diffyg buddsoddiad pan oedd yr haul yn tywynnu, a'r sefyllfa bresennol yw'r canlyniad anochel.
Da clywed ei fod yn argyhoeddedig bod yna dalent dal i ddod trwodd, serch hynny.

@radio_sheri @BathRugby @SBarnesRugby Hillie incredibly underrated. When I did the David Bishop book recently I asked him who were the best scrum halves he ever played against. The answer came straight back without missing a beat - Terry Holmes and Richard Hill
Copthorne, South East 🇬🇧 English
It was fantastic to catch up with @BathRugby legend Richard Hill who was travelling with the club and his buddy and old half back partner @SBarnesRugby (what a half back combo they were) Hilly and I go back to junior school age days in Salisbury when our Dad’s worked together

@obelloz @Plaid_Cymru There are plenty of professional journalists and pundits who still refer to the Semev as The Assembly, too.
English
The most significant outcome in 🏴election may be London media finally saying @Plaid_Cymru correctly just 60 years after the party got its first MP!
That stubborn ‘professional fail’ tells you all you need to know about how Wales has been regarded - until now. #SeneddElection

@simonrug @s_coombsy @FredDJournalism There was a job going which, coincidentally, closed yesterday.
(It's still up on the WRU website, obviously).
English
@s_coombsy @FredDJournalism Would do a fine job based on what the Cardiff players say about working with him.
English
It was very telling listening to Corniel van Zyl and Cam Winnett talk in glowing terms about Leigh Halfpenny at the Cardiff press conference this afternoon.
Few players have earned such universal respect and admiration from their peers.
English
Or...
Fans get to choose to engage with one (Squidge) but have no choice about engaging with the other (Goode et al) if they want to watch the game live.
A moment's reflection on that, and why that might be, would probably serve Goode and co well.

@Richard99366022 @ApsmRugby I'm assuming they had Shaun Edwards' great great grandad running the defence.

1891 South Africa vs Britain
Newlands Stadium (0-4)
The British Isles team toured for the first time, winning all 20 matches and playing the first-ever Test match against South Africa. They also brought along the Currie Cup, which remains SA's top domestic trophy today

@davies_deiniol Speaking of evasive leaders, any views on Farage dodging an already booked interview on Laura Kuenssberg's show this morning knowing that his £5m gift would be discussed?
English
People of Wales need to take a step back and just look and listen to Rhyn Ap Iorweth , he is very evasive in every answer to a question . He doesn't even give a straight answer regarding independence , he's campaigning his way through this election by avoiding commitment ! Beware

What an exceptionally Australian-looking lad.
Pretty much direct from central casting.
Hope he has a good stint here.
