@J4m35c4mpb3ll And that Wales is removed from map alogether....

Brilliant to see the UK stops at the Scottish border. 😁✊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@ceritheviking @HiraethPolitics Existing services to Queen St and beyond. New services to Central by time Arena opens. 100mill transport spend is not for Arena - it is key to unlocking much larger Crossrail project.

@Penddu2 @HiraethPolitics Nothing to central. It’s wing put in for 100 million by public funds to make the arena work because it’s in the wrong place !!! It helps but it’a just how much public money is going into a 40 billion dollar US company project

Big on steel this week me!! Cardiffs new arena going up fast. (Wrong place mind!!). And a new car park. (Traffic bedlam ahead) Lots of steel. Wonder how much is welsh / British. ?

@HiraethPolitics @ceritheviking I dont which axe you are trying to grind, but Arena is being built - it is a 15 minute walk to city centre, there is an existing train/metro station 200m away with 6tph. Further services are planned. There are 2 multi storey car parks within 400m and another nearby. Questions?

@ceritheviking @Penddu2 Very confusing, so you can't get to this new Arena from the city? What is the importance of the company's value? Surely it's being built to benefit the local economy and for people attending events there? Or is it limited to company use?

@HiraethPolitics @ceritheviking Right next to Cardiff Bay Station with direct services to Queen Street and Central.

@ceritheviking Is it close to a Metro stop?

@HuwDavies1998 This is possibly the worst plan anyone could come up with...

The solution to local government in Wales. #BBCWalesDebate

@gillianthurston @StephenMorganMP @K4Owen Do you mean Sewage - the brown stuff - or Sewerage - the pipes that move it?

@StephenMorganMP @K4Owen I have only one word to say to you, Sewerage, Clean up that mess and someone might listen to you.

This Labour Government is cleaning up the mess the Conservatives left and is getting young people back into jobs and apprenticeships.

@alfonslopeztena As much as I would like this to be true - it isnt. Passing a school exam doesnt confer much ability. Cymraeg is much more widely and deeply spoken - despite the official census which only measures fluency.

A century ago just 18% of the Irish spoke Irish. Now 1.8 million people (40% of the population) claim some ability to speak it, up 71% from 1991. Nearly half of students study Irish at advanced level in secondary school, up from less than a third in 2005 economist.com/europe/2026/03…

@bristol247 They have already missed 2028. Currently looking at mid-2009 - and limited to 17,000 capacity.

Bristol's new Aviva Arena is due to open in late-2028 bristol247.com/news-and-featu…

@BBCSportWales So Wales lost to England who lost to Ireland who lost to France who lost to Scotland who lost to Italy who lost to Wales. I think that makes us champions?

Wales end their Six Nations drought with their first victory in 3️⃣ years! 🙌 #BBCRugby

@Gwlad_Gwlad To follow a real calendar it should be on 22 July.

Some people (especially Americans) call today "π day" - 3.14. But not everyone knows that π, as a symbol for the ratio between the circumference and diameter of a circle, was invented by a Welshman - William Jones of Llanfihangel Tre'r Beirdd .

@Matt_Pinner With a magnet

Please Be honest!! Your daughter brings him home for Thanksgiving Dinner. How do you greet him 🤔

@claireindubai @djflore They always paid me in cash...

@djflore Don't forget we're all getting paid for it too. My cheque is lost in the lost though. 😭

This is clearly how the 4 million tax-evading influencers paid by Dubai government feel.

@NationCymru Cardiff Civic Society = SAD (Stop all developments)

If Cardiff Parkway were truly to meet the needs of residents further east, it would be built closer to where they live. And as for the promised Crossrail from Cardiff Bay through Splott, that is nowhere on the horizon ✍️Lyn Eynon wp.me/p8Mk4U-1gQc

@ClwydEnComu I would live to see it...but not happening

Plaid Cymru HOW MANY??!

@WillHayCardiff Well deserved..

Just on the train home from the Regional Press Awards after a very successful afternoon. I would like to say something thoughtful and articulate but I am several pints in. All I can say is thank you so much to everyone who has supported what my team and I are trying to build. We are very lucky that we get to make a living from reporting on Wales. There is no better patch and no better place to be as a reporter. Not a bad day considering last week Reform banned us from their press conference for apparently not being proper journalists. Off to chow down on some preemptive paracetamol.

@GreenBin69 @shanaka86 I think you mean who in the trump family ....

@shanaka86 I wonder who in the American administration made money speculating on that info

JUST IN: The White House just blamed an intern for the worst information warfare defeat of the 21st century. Here is the sequence. Energy Secretary Chris Wright posted on social media that a US Navy-escorted oil tanker had successfully transited the Strait of Hormuz. The claim was false. No escort had occurred. The White House confirmed this. Wright deleted the post. The administration blamed a “low-level staffer” for the inaccurate publication. Before the deletion, Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf screenshotted it and posted fifteen words that have now been seen by over one million people: “An oil tanker crossed Strait of Hormuz escorted by US Navy ships? Maybe on PlayStation!” Twenty-one thousand likes. 4,700 retweets. One million views. The most engaged Iranian government post of the war. And it was accurate. The escort did not happen. The American post that claimed it did was retracted. The Iranian post that mocked it stands. A low-level staffer published a claim about the most strategically sensitive waterway on Earth from a cabinet secretary’s official account during the most intense military campaign since 2003, and nobody in the chain of command reviewed it before publication. That is not a staffing error. That is an institutional failure in a government prosecuting a war where information moves faster than corrections. The oil market moved on the claim before it was deleted. WTI crashed from $119.50 to $87 on a cascade of de-escalation signals that included escort announcements. The escort that was announced did not happen. The price that moved on it did. The correction that followed has not reversed the price. The market is now trading at a level partially determined by a social media post that no longer exists, authored by a person the White House will not name, published from an account belonging to a secretary who apparently did not approve it. Meanwhile, the physical Strait remains unchanged. Seven hundred tankers queued. Visible transits: 2 to 3 per day. Seven P&I clubs withdrawn. Zero reinstated. A few dozen Iranian mines confirmed in the water by US intelligence, with 80 to 90% of mine-laying vessels still intact. The 31 autonomous IRGC commands continue firing. The Supreme Leader is a cardboard cutout at his own rally. The IEA just proposed the largest emergency reserve release in history because the Strait the staffer claimed was open is not open. Iran did not hack an American account. Iran did not plant disinformation. Iran waited for America to publish its own false claim, watched America delete it, and then broadcast the deletion to the world. The information warfare victory cost Iran nothing. A screenshot and fifteen words. The United States has three carrier strike groups, eleven heavy bombers, and the most powerful military in human history deployed to reopen a strait that a low-level staffer accidentally admitted is still closed. The staffer’s crime was not posting inaccurate information. It was posting the aspiration before the achievement. The escort was supposed to happen. It has not. And now the world knows it has not because Washington told them first and Tehran made sure they remembered. PlayStation. One deleted post. One unnamed staffer. And the Strait is still closed. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

@ronsterd89 Virgin

First thing that comes to mind when you see this room.

@colonelstewart @thepaulwilliams England could still win the Wooden Spoon (mathematically)

@thepaulwilliams With my respect, I was very secure that Italy beat England , and I backed them at 5-1 I am equally secure France will beat England by 20 points in Paris

If England beat France next week. I wouldn't be surprised AT ALL. This Six Nations has been incredible. A genuine competition. Not a formality.

@terrychristian There are around 300,000 brits in the Gulf - around 5,000 are tourists and transit passengers who actually want to leave - the rest plan to stay - UK has laid on 1 flight/day...300 passengers/flight.

All this tax payer money being wasted to bring Brits back from Gulf etc. If they're holiday makers - fair enough - tax exiles - back of the queue and make them pay up front .
