This petition calling for a public inquiry into Russian interference is now up to 13k, and growing fast. It's still early days, but it's notable that the percentage of people signing is highest in Wales.
This suggests that media coverage of Nathan Gill was considerably more extensive in Wales than elsewhere, which is disturbing because it suggests coverage of Gill's treason was insufficient outside Wales, given that it was a matter of UK national importance.
Please share the petition as widely as possible.

People should delete old emails in order to save the climate, according to the environment agency. They say that because data centres use vast amounts of water to cool their systems, 'simple everyday choices' such as deleting emails could reduce your climate impact.

Best yet. Please spread far and wide
Here's a 🎶 twist on @coldplay's thumping #VivaLaVida we're calling "Puppets on a Kremlin String?" It reflects on the grotesque disrespectful media spectacle hosted by #Trump & #Vance yesterday at the White House. In solidarity with @ZelenskyyUa 🇺🇦

Hats off to @jessphillips. Jog on to @elonmusk.
Here's a 🎶 parody of Leonard Cohen's "Bird on the Wire" about Musk's recent spate of diarrhoea tweets about the UK, called "Turd on a Wire."
(With an attempted nod to the wonderful @kdlang arrangement of the song)

Starmer: "I think only a few months ago it would have been unthinkable for the things that have been said about Jess Philips without all political parties and the leader of the opposition to call it out in terms...to condemn it...if you're not prepared to stand up as a Tory MP and denounce what's been said about her, then you need to seriously think about why you're in politics in my view."

That is quite some headline @MailOnline…..
Does the poll “predict” that Starmer will be out of No 10 within a year?
I’m sure you know the answer already, but indulge me while a do a small 🧵looking at what the poll ACTUALLY shows!
1/17

I'm not here to advocate for Starmer or Labour, but this from the @FT counters the nonsense that Musk and Ackman are spreading about a country that they know nothing about. Source here: on.ft.com/421zL2S

🚨 Hitachi train factory saved 🚨
After two years of campaigning, we’ve secured the world class Hitachi train plant in Aycliffe.
The Tories abandoned the factory and its workers.
Keir Starmer promised to secure its future.
He’s delivered.

I asked the Telecoms Minister what the Govt is doing to roll out superfast broadband to Ironbridge in Telford, where homes, businesses and a world heritage site still have almost no Gigabit coverage.
It's great to hear that we'll have an announcement on this in the near future.
