A 2% wealth tax in the UK on people with over £100m (like France) would raise £30bn a year. It's time to tax the rich.

Really extraordinary to see so many Welsh MPs publicly undermine their own party’s electorally-successful electoral platform so nonchalantly and with such disregard. Few things suggest major campaign issues like a political party talking out of both sides of its mouth at the same time.

Save the School of Music protest. It's a very bittersweet feeling watching these incredible musicians play. This is the talent we will be losing if Cardiff University go ahead with their shortsighted plans.

I don't know how anyone's else is feeling about things these days, but maybe you'd like to see what Eng words are used across Wales for when you're really angry? People are mostly fuming or tamping with some raging and being furious #WelshEnglish Take the survey at speakforyersel.ac.uk/wales/

1/ THREAD: There is debate raging in Cwmparc, Rhondda Fawr. People have moved into a £500K house at the foot of the mountain & erected huge gates, blocking the access road to the mountain, a road generations have used for decades as well as forestry workers & Welsh Waters, but is a access grey area

Pronunciation question for people in South East Wales: Do you say heard and herd the same way? And if not, how are they different? (Question I wish I'd included in the Speak for yersel - Wales survey but didn't). Won't use any responses for an analysis, but just hoping for some intuitions.

Visible Speech is a system of phonetic transcription devised by Alexander Melville Bell (1819-1905) to help deaf children learn to speak. Bell’s notation is based on the physiology of the speech organs and can, therefore, be used as a universal alphabet to represent any language. 1/3 #Histlx

A thing about language that a lot of people don't know is that you can dislike a usage intensely – a pronunciation, a piece of grammar, etc. – without presuming to reject it on behalf of all people, in all places, for all time

This week my employer of 17 years English Heritage announced 200 jobs lost, and my Alma mater Cardiff Uni announced 400 jobs lost. The planning system that protects our heritage and provides thousands of archaeology jobs is at risk, and Higher Education is in free fall more generally #ThisIsFine

Good 20mph stats - first full year: 10 fewer deaths 26% fewer crashes 28% lower casualties This represents a £58 Million saving to society in the first year alone - which more than pays for the £32m one-off cost of the signs! www.gov.wales/police-recor...

1 YEAR OF 20MPH There were around 100 fewer people killed / seriously injured on 20/30mph roads. Casualties from July-Sept was the lowest Q3 figures in Wales since records began. Over the year the number of casualties on 20/30mph roads is 28% lower than the year before. Good policy making.
