Mirror Headline: Furious row at Labour claims Greens will 'turn playgrounds into crack dens'

Mirror Headline: Furious row at Labour claims Greens will 'turn playgrounds into crack dens'

The Labour Party believes that alcohol should remain legal & regulated. According to the way they've conducted themselves in the debate on drug policy I can only conclude that means they believe that babies should drink whiskey & that school playgrounds should be turned into pubs

Myriad Welsh mistakes in the download page too, and there are basic errors in even the first paragraph of the document itself.

Hard not to read into that!

Looks like Reform had an earlier draft of the manifesto cover printed out that has two obvious mistakes in the "motto".

Outstandingly incompetent.

Nigel Farage starts his speech launching his parties manifesto for WALES by talking about Iran and complaining that Gorton and Denton by-election was "rigged".

Telling that he has mentioned Saddam Hussain more than Wales in the first 5 mins of his speech...

How many grammatical errors can you spot here?

It's not really good enough, is it?

Nothing conveys a great love and respect for the beautiful nation of Wales like using an AI generated thumbnail for the cover of your manifesto.

I'm a big fan of when SU candidates wildly overpromise. Love the energy.

Honestly the collective national level of disdain for Brits living in Dubai on all my social media platforms today really is bringing the UK together as one in a way that's hard to achieve in the modern era.

All of that capitulation from Starmer. All the mealy-mouthed justification. For this?

Supine.

All of this while Shabana Mahmood makes it much, much harder for those who do want to live here and pay taxes, live normal lives and integrate.

Although I'm not callous enough to suggest that we shouldn't help these stranded citizens, it's hard not to see the extreme irony of British tax funds being used to evacuate these people.

We have, all of us, seen or known people to boast about the favourable tax rates and silly earnings in Dubai.

This article contains the line: "(farewell Latin Excellence Programme!)".

She's self employed, selling her old Vivienne Westwood garb, has no pension. Maybe her next job could be in cyber?

It's so fascinating how class for this person isn't an economic but a cultural thing. I'm still better-than.

I have to say it doesn't fill me with confidence that in delivering this message he appears to be shitting himself

Just watched Starmer's address on why Americans will now be using our bases for their bombing raids.

Gutless. This reckless warmongering endangers us all.

Dydd Gลตyl Dewi Hapus everyone! Here is possibly the most stereotypically Welsh photo I've ever taken.

Ilford HP5 Plus 400 ISO on my Olympus Trip 35, which is fast becoming my absolute favourite.

Why 52%? What is the significance of that percentage?

"We are a slight majority! Heed us!"

Is it a Brexit thing?

Not quite! It's just social housing with the intention of letting or part selling to Welsh speakers in an area where the language has seen sharp declines.

That decline is seen as partly down to second homes, though, as you say.

All Welsh speakers speak English too so this is quite probably bullshit isn't it
