@bespokespeeches Sounds interesting and inspiring, have fun…. Oh and work hard too !
It’s always my fault, isn’t it.
This is an object lesson to other politicians who don't know the answer to a question. Be honest. Well done to @darrenpjones.
'I've got my lines!' After answering, 'I don't know', to a caller's question on voter IDs, Shadow Minister Darren Jones receives a text from Labour to clarify the party's position.
Yes, it does looks we’re releasing a weird album but we’re all prepped & raring to go in beautiful Shoreham on Sea for what will be a FAB conversation about politics with these two brilliant brains - @rafaelbehr & @RobBurl

Early morning run along the promenade for (almost) silence and this #sunrise view of the Tres Xemeneies (Three Chimneys) of the abandoned power station in Sant Adrià de Besòs in #Barcelona 🌅

Returning to my old uni @cardiffuni to give a talk later this week has me reflecting on my career journey: 2015 - 3 month marketing work experience in my last year of uni 2016 - first marketing job! Did a bit of everything - social, email marketing, website, posters, press…
Friday - we hate poor people, and disabled people Monday - we hate immigrants What on earth will Tuesday bring? And how many more days can we tolerate hate and fear being such a key part of our politics? Love, justice and mercy can - and will - prevail There is another way.
33 years ago today! It seems like yesterday. I wish it was tomorrow I would cancel it.
Wales is treated like garbage when it comes to UK coverage Imagine, for a moment, how the UK wide media would react if the Prime Minister had done the following when running to be party leader: - Taken a donation from a criminal. - That donation had been 6X the spending limit…
Remember the companies that gave £200K to Vaughan Gething's campaign to be First Minister? Well 11 months before they received a £400k loan from the Welsh Gov-run Development Bank of Wales. This was when Mr Gething was economy minister & the bank was in his portfolio. [Thread]
