We are really looking forward to seeing all our runners at the @CardiffHalf this Sunday but the weather is looking a little grim... @DerekTheWeather any chance of fixing it so we can have a nice day? We'd all appreciate it! 🙌

Looking back on 14 years of the Tories is like looking back at the traumatising post-vindaloo shit you just did in the toilet.

Please share this What’s £25? When you go on a night out you’ll easily spend 4 times that amount. This week you have likely spent more than that on lunches&coffees. £25 can change a family’s life, give a better future to children. Donate whatever you can #charity #beahero
£25 could pay for a mum to attend a You and Me, Mum session, supporting a victim of domestic abuse to develop relationships with her children and strategies for keeping her family safe. Donate to Llamau now at llamau.org.uk/donate/donate-… and help us fund vital services like this.

An argument has erupted at the dining room table this lunchtime. My 7yr old is certain @BeanoOfficial character Billy Whizz is faster than @sonic_hedgehog and my 5yr old is having none of it, backing the blue hedgehog all the way. Does anyone know who is faster?
