We must not forget that lower speeds save lives, 20mph is a reasonable expectation where people live, work and play. We hope local authorities listen to people who want to safely walk & cycle. #20isplenty
Today @KenSkatesMS released new #20mph guidance to support making decisions on local speed limits.
The guidance was co-developed with highways authorities, @WelshLGA and the County Surveyor’s Society for Wales, following our #ListeningOn20mph programme.

An assassination attempt by a mentally ill person using an AR-15 is a terrible reason to vote for the man who made it easier for mentally ill persons to obtain AR-15s.

Liz Truss - awarded a six-figure prime ministerial pension at the age of 46 for just 49 days' work - wants to raise the pension age to 80. For other people, that is.

As a cancer specialist, I find this level of journalism absolutely appalling. It’s hard to know where to begin, when the lack of understanding of how cancer might affect people is this poor. I’m more than happy to speak to @AllisonPearson to explain why this is so bad

So thrilled my druid parka, inspired by Eglwysilan and the Aber Valley, will be exhibited in this year's Y Lle Celf (the art exhibition in the @eisteddfod)! And in Pontypridd too!
Such a lovely collaboration with @Patternistas and Lindsay Bonaccorsi

Westminster may be gripped by election fever now, but in other news tomorrow Ofwat will be deciding if greedy & failing water companies can hike bills by up to 91%. I joined nearly 40 MPs across parties calling on Ofwat to reject their outrageous demand.

When protestors laid clothes on Bournemouth beach, it was in memory of 12,000 children murdered in Gaza 🇵🇸
The clothes stretched for 5km
14,500 children have now been murdered in Gaza
The clothes would stretch to 6km
Don’t stop talking about Gaza 🇵🇸

'People are surprised to know that cycling is a lawless activity when it comes to the Road Traffic Act'
Families of victims of speeding cyclists demand action for a 'dangerous cycling' law.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Road Traffic Act 1988 contains multiple rules that apply to cyclists, including the specific offence "Dangerous cycling".

Originally called "reckless cycling", it was updated to "dangerous" in 1991:

Each time I'm in Cardiff I get unimaginably pissed off at how they had a glimpse of a nearly-good thing and thought, "naahhh"

Intriguing US article on a resurgence of use of libraries by young people.
‘Separate from home & work, it is a space for gathering and socialization.. Libraries are the last place they feel exists that asks nothing of them. You can truly come as you are.’

Sign, share and share again - even if you’ve already shared! We’re close to the numbers we need and one final push could make a difference @IoloWilliams2 @julianbrans @WildByrne
Lovely to see @BBCCountryfile reporting on the Gwent Levels @RSPBNewport Wetlands.
A great program.
Please sign the petition to halt significant developments that could impact our wildlife on the levels.

Tata Steel to make 3,000 of its 4,000 workers redundant in Port Talbot.
Tory govt is giving Tata £500 million for 'investment'.
Once British Steel's Scunthorpe plant also closes blast furnaces, UK will be the only G20 country not able to make steel from raw materials xitter.cf/bbcwalesnews/status/17…

Here we go again. Unbelievable that for *4th year running* this reckless Govt is giving green light to banned pesticide meant to be used only in an “emergency”. The real emergency is the state of our embattled nature & wildlife - these toxic pesticides will only destroy more
BREAKING: Emergency authorisation has been granted for a banned neonicotinoid pesticide to be used on sugar beets for the fourth year in a row

An unelected prime minister who asked unelected King Charles III to give unelected David Cameron a peerage so he could serve as unelected foreign secretary has attacked the House of Lords for being unelected

It's me.
With the incredible camouflage sample designed by @Patternistas, incorporating elements of Eglwysilan Common and the Aber Valley, for a show early next year!
