The WEA was one of the very first organisations to recognise equal status for women being formed the same year as the British Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), founded by Emmeline Pankhurst, where its members were also known as the Suffragettes.

There's this phenomenon known as "Received Wisdom". Often, it serves people well. Sometimes it can lead to a lack of "thinking outside of the box".

I was in my early teens when the internet took off. What I've whitnessed since is an explosion in "Received Bullshit."

🚨 34% of Wales' children are living in poverty.

Families who are already struggling shouldn't have to pay any more for Labour’s failings.

Rachel Reeves is targeting the wrong people. Plaid Cymru is clear - it’s time for those with the broadest shoulders to pay their fair share.

To be honest, when I see conferences announced that have a majority of male invited speakers, I think the organisers are not trying hard enough. We have so many excellent #FemalesinMS and resources available there is really no excuse for it anymore #massspec #teammassspec #lipidomics #metabolomics

A reminder.

Only 6.9% of people in Wales were born overseas.

Just 2.9% of people in Caerphilly were born overseas.

Whereas 38% of medical consultants in Wales were born overseas.

Immigrants are not holding our NHS back, they are propping it up.

Next week, Reform faces a key by-election in Wales. Yet voters in Caerphilly know none of this.

Even tho Reform’s candidate is Nathan Gill’s former assistant.

We are at a critical point of failure in Britain. The delay of the authorities, the silence of the media..

Just popped into the Royal Institution for a coffee, to discover they have a lovely display on benzene to mark the bicentenary of Faraday's discovery of it. Here are his notes, his paper, and one of his first samples. Glorious.

David Lloyd George *in 1890* on the devolution of the crown estate:

‘I fail to understand why questions affecting...the Mineral resources of the Crown in Wales, which are far better apprehended on the spot, should be administered by government clerks in London.’
