Another Welsh chapel closing its doors in Rhondda Cynon Taf, hot on the heels of Capel Sardis, Pontypridd. Wonder how many others are still operational? Surely not many.

Ukraine war briefing: Volodymyr Zelenskyy praises Keir Starmer for pledge of ‘ironclad support’

Absolutely cracking long read about the ongoing leverage of royal mystique that prevents real scrutiny of the dodgiest prince and the wider clan of pretty shady operators and their inner network. Crazy that citizens’ money can just be sucked into this family’s bank balance with zero scrutiny.

For all the many madnesses of our criminal justice system (we have Welsh prisoners in England and English prisons in Wales), it’s worth remembering that there isn’t a single women’s prison/centre in the whole country and they are all sent across the border. Wholly unsurprisingly, this isn’t good:

Any ceasefire or peace deal in Ukraine is unlikely to bring a lasting peace in Europe. Russia will likely regard it merely as a new phase in the war.

This all just seems incredibly confused. Huge thirst for < checks notes > 2.5% defense spending, some bizarre Mandelson scheme which seems to bear no resemblance to reality.

Interesting from the FT about the rise of ethno nationalism on Britain and specifically how the ‘English’ (or ‘Anglo-Saxon’ as the Americans say, weirdly!) identity is boxed in by no political, legislative, or civic identity beyond sport. The future of the UK (if it even has one) must be federal!

A few years back there was a madcap Boris Johnson scheme to force every school in Wales & Scotland to receive a free Anglo-centric ‘History of the UK’ book for the ole Platty Jubes. Thankfully our govts resisted and I hope pulped the lot. But this royal book is fab! nation.cymru/news/bilingu...

The only reason Russia would do this - effectively trying to 'buy' the land they have illegally seized is because the land is worth more than the assets It's a bad deal and not worth discussing

This is a poor headline from the BBC. The US aren't offering a "deal" - they want the minerals in return for support already given. It's straight up extortion.
