How good are France. #6N But that was a hard watch @ITVSport erratic French TV camera angles, inplay advert & excess commentator babble

@Ronanchamberss TBF the FT is busy nailing exclusives on Epstein day after day. Good interview by Jim Pickard on R4 y’day talking about their large team & how they designed bespoke search engine to trawl 3m papers … & how it’s destroyed their weekend!

Absolutely mind boggling how UK Headquartered ElevenLabs raising $500M at an $11B valuation yesterday is not in the Financial Times today. Genuinely curious as to how that hasn't been covered.

@UniSouthWales Thanks USW, what a lovely event.

Chris Sutton – chartered surveyor and USW alumnus – has been awarded an Honorary Doctorate today, recognising his contribution to further and higher education, and the business landscape in Wales.

@MarkUrban01 @AiSimonThompson As a surveyor, I acted in the sale of this bespoke (ex-Linde) heavy vehicle factory to GD in 2015. I make no comment about Ajax but can’t overstate how important the hundreds of jobs are for the town of Merthyr Tydfil. A similar MOD story playing out with Leonardo in Yeovil.

@AiSimonThompson The hulls came from Spain - but that’s just a shell and they’ve all been delivered now. Engines from Germany. The turrets are made at Ampthill in Bedfordshire. They are assembling 13,000 parts for each Ajax in that plant

Stand by! Ajax - £6bn turkey or the answer to the British Army’s needs? A deep dive from me based on a factory visit and interviews with believers and detractors. Reports in print in this week’s Sunday Times and on video …

@ceritheviking Agree with all your points … but look at the negativity regarding Cardiff Parkway from certain MSs 🙄

This is what the south wales metro should have. / should be doing. And the burns stations. And any existing stations. And new station plans should be with this in mind These are open policy goals. They aren’t radical. It’s the model elsewhere. Frustrating!!

@NationCymru Poor ‘business environment’ decision by the Council. It will directly impact the emerging office market around this hotel and be a barrier to efforts to further join up the city centre and Bay

Cardiff Council has approved controversial plans to re-purpose a former city hotel into supported accommodation for the homeless despite huge backlash from local residents and businesses nation.cymru/news/controver…

Upper Boat. Taff up high but a way to go yet.

Good theatre

@ceritheviking British Land results today

Just going through Meadowhall. 1 of the first out of town shopping complexes. Sat with someone last night who said it hammered Sheffield city centre and it’s yet to recover. You have to wonder, especially with the US precedent why noone twigged out of town shopping would hit hard

@WalesOnline Unfair on the cafe, not of their making.

Nigel Farage had coffee at a Welsh cafe and some people are now vowing never to return - crnch.it/aDU7V7-z

@WGTransport @KenSkatesMS Let’s give the same swift attention given to Monmouthshire which has more broken bridges than the rest of Wales put together

Cabinet Secretary @KenSkatesMS has today met with UK Highways A55 leadership to discuss the temporary closure of Menai Suspension Bridge & way forward. You can find out more about the closure via our FAQs ⬇️ A5 Menai Bridge: frequently asked questions | GOV.WALES

RIP architect Terry Farrell of Vauxhall Cross fame … and many other fine buildings.

@PilkingtonLisa1 Swansea-born David Goldstone (d.2020) of Regalian was Terry’s developer client. David told me that, upon completion, he requested a reception with his team in the MI6 building. ‘No sir, you will never set foot again in this building’ was the terse response. And he never did.

Sad news... RIP Sir Terry, an icon of British architecture BBC News - Terry Farrell, architect who designed MI6 building, dies bbc.com/news/articles/…

@ICELibrary @AIndustrialArch @johnditchfield @ceritheviking another iron bridge for you

Thnks @AIndustrialArch @SuttonCardiff and @johnditchfield bridge identified as Robertstown tramway bridge, Aberdare

@NationCymru Cardiff debt per head £2,555 Wrexham debt per head £3,825 Think you’ve picked the wrong headline!

Cardiff Council built up debts totalling more than £980m at the end of last year, according to data compiled by the BBC Shared Data Unit nation.cymru/news/councils-…

Today I had the opportunity to visit Central Quay, the redevelopment by Paul McCarthy, Rightacres Property Group, of the former Brains Brewery located south of Cardiff Central. A remarkable transformation underway.

Well done @CavendishCymru for bringing people together for a politics & planning Q & A. #NostradamusCathy

@BBCWalesNews @BBCWales I suspect Cardiff Uni has more than enough floorspace to be going on with. Restrictive covenants across Cathays Park mean an exit will not be straightforward in property terms

Welsh government should sell Cardiff HQ, insider says bbc.in/4lKq3J5

@dozecat007 @BBCr4today @BBCR4Feedback Arguably worth every penny. Today’s interview in a different league

#r4today Nick Robinson just had a 19% pay rise to £419,000 per year plus perks. Let that sink in. @bbcr4today @BBCR4Feedback
