My brother was creative, fun, caring and kind. He also lived with schizophrenia. I'm constantly struck by how infrequently we hear about stories like his. So I told the one I know. @WalesOnline walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-new…

@davidhiggerson I am sure you recognise that these are intelligent, highly-skilled, creative people working for you. How can you argue that Reach is a company where they’ll find the career rewards they deserve when the above is true?

@davidhiggerson The words mean nothing David. These are the actions of a company ensuring the “skills and talent needed to be successful” remain in the newsroom. - Multiple rounds of redundancies every year leaving the remaining staff to pick up the pieces and fester job insecurity fears. (1/…)

A bit of a thread from me: As I said in an email to our editorial team last night, there is no plan to replace journalists with social media influencers, despite what has been reported elsewhere.

@davidhiggerson - Wild shifts in strategy that leave the people undertaking the work frustrated and directionless. (3/4)

@davidhiggerson - Decades of pay stagnation. - Failure to deliver on promises (some made to end industrial disputes) of a basic skills and pay-related career progression framework. - Failure to act on warnings from staff about the audience impact of an outdated, unreadable platform. (2/…)

@ConorGogarty It’s an excellent piece of journalism and a huge accomplishment. Glad to hear it’s found a broad audience as well. We love to see it!

Wow. Nearly half a million people have watched our undercover investigation on TikTok alone. Brilliant to see so many people sharing their experiences of an industry that has long needed more scrutiny.

Recently I went undercover working at a door-to-door sales operation. I'd heard claims of exploitation and cult-like practices, so I got a job there to investigate Wearing a hidden camera I gathered evidence of lies, pressure-selling and a network of linked offices around the UK

@bm_summer @westwalesjourno I’ve had more practice at this than you. The latter is the safer bet with Sion.

@Lydiarosesteph @gourmetgorro This is where we’ve booked ours!

@gourmetgorro I loved Coed when we were first looking back in 2020! Exactly what I want too. wedding and pizzas 😂

Any unique/quirky/on the small side wedding venues in south Wales possibly west? Would prefer to do it all in one place

@ffi0nlewis "Derr filmin' midgets!"

It’s a fairytale f***cking town, isn’t it? If you know, you know 🇧🇪

@Lydiarosesteph I had a similar second offer at point of unsubscribing after taking an introductory rate of like £1?! Interesting Now TV is wise to scheduled cancellers, seems unique to streaming services. I’ll probably forget after six months now 😅

I added Sky Cinema to my Now TV yesterday for £9.99 then went to cancel it today and got offered to pay £3.99 per month for 6 months. Worth doing if you have NOW TV - it won’t be in your “offers” but you’ll be offered a cheaper deal if you keep “continue cancelling”

@Dorkfeatures I'd find it very difficult to live in a house where this is the strategy😫 Get a dehumidifier, then put a blanket over that and your drying and tuck one side of the blanket behind the radiator.

@yvonnea13 @WalesOnline Previously, we told you they'd bought them. Today we can tell you how much they spent after an FOI response. Would you prefer us to just chuck stuff out and never consider it again? You'd have something to say if we did that in relation to something you, personally, cared about.

@WalesOnline Why do WOL always seem to be having slow news days. You seem to be the only media source to be continually repeating your articles , sometimes several times a day, or every other week ??

There is a new Secretary of State for Wales - David TC Davies. Let's take a look at some of the views he has expressed in past. [Thread]

Wait did Tom Bradby try to recreate his “what is going on in the House of Commons?” meme?!?

@ITVDean Or rather, if you can send me a DM we'll discuss. Yours appear to be closed. I think there may have been an internal misunderstanding on our part and we apologise. But nothing undertaken with malicious intention. I am sure we can resolve.

@ITVDean Hi Dean, I'll send you a direct message on this.

@bethanjenkins Still on the menu!

@bethanjenkins Good question. Didn’t know it had changed hands but I could very well be out of the loop.
