I'm giving a presentation for #CymorthCymru on the implications of #climatechange for the homeless sector in Wales next week (5 Nov). Register at https://www.cymorthcymru.org.uk/index.php/?cID=2539

I need to confess something. I've given #firefox the dump and gone non-open-source. Firefox was getting sluggish and really hard to operate on my old laptop. Switched to #Vivaldi (I know, it's chromium-based and not fully open sourced) and the difference is stark. Laptop not freezing any more. It's a totally different experience

The lies have caught up with Johnson.

"The #brexit project, designed to increase British decision-making freedom, has ended up simply creating a range of options for British decision-makers, all of them equally repugnant."

There's much to like in the Electoral Reform Society's manifesto for the #Senedd21 elections #Wales #ukpol https://www.electoral-reform.org.uk/ers-cymrus-2021-manifesto-for-democracy/

Compulsory political education for children - as long as it's entirely non-partisan - is a healthy approach

An interesting article from #Unherd, arguing that #Wales has never been a nation, but acknowledging that independence is a possibility.

Sadly I'm so poorly schooled in the history of my own country that I'm ill equipped to respond to the article itself...but I note that #IndyWales is now starting to enter the consciousness of fringe media in England.

Me after my third coffee of the day

It's not surprising - to me at least - that Professor Chris Grey's #brexit blog has racked up nearly 5 million views in the last few years. Read his latest missive from the front line of the insanity which characterises our benighted government 🤦🇬🇧🇪🇺

An 'iconoclast' government is boosting support for independence in #Wales and #Scotland - so says the former head of the UK Government's #Brexit department

Latest stats maintain an upward trend of activity on toot.wales, still a 'best fit' to a polynomial to third power
