@Gurney814683 @MadocRoberts You lived under a Welsh rock, presumably. You never heard of any medieval Welsh princes such as Llewellyn ap Gruffudd?

There have been lots of posts about Rhun ap Iorwerth's name recently. Why don't all British people know about this form of tradional Welsh name? These people who attack Rhun's name often call themselves patriots but ignorance of British culture is not something to be proud of.

I haven't written about the tax impact of the £5m donation to Farage, because there is no tax. But people keep asking. Should I write a piece anyway, setting out the reasons in full? Or is it a waste of time?

@Martin_Dagnall @archer_rs It’s the responsibility of the car occupant to ensure it’s safe to open the door. An insurance claim involving one of our company cars a few years ago showed this after a car hit an opening door. Our car was liable. For car read cyclist. Not the cyclist’s fault here.

@archer_rs But. Cyclist have a responsibility to pass a car leaving a reasonable gap from parked cars, as moving cars do when passing bikes

English

RS Archer@archer_rs·2d

Had this myself a few years ago. Luckily I was able to brake and just lightly hit the door. Driver shouted at me I had damaged his car.

Being doored is a huge danger for cyclists - it's one of the biggest causes of killed and seriously injured cyclists in London. Drivers, PLEASE allow space for cyclists to ride well out from parked cars. Cyclists, PLEASE only ride close to parked cars when under 5mph.

You may have noticed that the word for ‘night’ in many languages appears to be that language’s word for ‘eight’ with an ‘N' in front of it.

Sunk cost fallacy as policy.

EXC: Lisa Nandy tells @cathynewman there will be no return to single market or free movement with the EU (raising the question of how far Keir Starmer's EU reset announced this AM can actually go) “I don't think anyone in this country wants to reopen the Brexit debate. We had a referendum. That referendum was won by leave. "The majority of people voted for it…. there's no appetite, either from the government, from Europe, or from the public, I think, to start getting into renegotiating things like free movement, single market access. "We went around that track for years during the Brexit wars. This country doesn't need any more division."

Chris Mason personifies what’s wrong with political reporting. That he’s lead for the BBC and not The Sun makes it worse. I remember once Ed Davey announced a policy which was questionable and in his reporting he entirely ignored that in favour of gossip/personal stuff.

@vialbaboy @robvsnature @RhonddaBryant @tnewtondunn ‘Resolved’ = Starmer gone, presumably. Not ‘resolved’= Starmer reasserts his authority and fights off the rebellion.

Sir Tellya Evrythins Gonnabe Alright@vialbaboy·3d

@robvsnature @RhonddaBryant @tnewtondunn Indeed. So who is the King over the Water that people want to be PM instead and who the bond markets will price in as a safe pair of hands?

English

Tom Newton Dunn@tnewtondunn·3d

There is a route for Andy Burnham to become PM without winning a Commons by-election first: he could be made a Lord. Constitutionally the PM just needs to be a member of one of the two houses of Parliament. This was Alec Douglas-Home’s route, who became PM in October 1963 as a Lord before winning a by-election to be an MP 20 days later. It’s an absolutely awful undemocratic look that could sink Burnham’s brand forever, plus of course Starmer may well not want to oblige his nemesis with a peerage. But these are strange and desperate times for Labour.
