Vote against this at the AGM.
Nationwide Building Society to hike CEO pay package by 43% to £7m. Interest on savings down. Workers won't get 43% pay rise No sector immune to fat-cattery. Govt says wage rises are inflationary but silence on exec pay, dividends, share buybacks. theguardian.com/business/202…

I've been directed to raise this with @Help_C2C Diolch.

@cardiffcouncil Driver illegality at Sanatorium Rod - Broad Street junction again today - it happens more often than not. How do we petition to get a camera installed? It's an active travel route to school and is dangerous. Diolch. cc @stephencunnah

I'd already forgotten quite how bad it was this morning ... I'd try reporting that brown MPV to @GoSafeCymru if I could get a licence.

Also strikes me that this is a far more important location to place an enforcement camera than the new one down Cardiff Bay we fell foul of recently!

bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/… Couple of son Andy's ex-@RygbiPlasmawr teammates in the squad - Sion and Osian (also ex @ClwbRygbiIau) . Andy chose football at 16 due to rugby injuries affecting football availability. Pandemic didn't help, either! Hope they both go well.

Overtaken by a driver on Pencisely Road this morning- me going the limit (20), BMW driver (obvs) going 40 or so. Hasn't happened for a while but I have hardly been driving. Any chance of some / more enforcement @GoSafeCymru @swpolice ?

When you have to share the road with homicidal lunatics driving lethal killing machines, they will cut you up or just drive straight over you without a second thought. And despite being in the wrong, they'll think you're the arsehole for being in their way. Never trust a driver.

BBC News - bbc.co.uk/news/live/c1j08p44… 'Magdeburg Germany attack updates: Car hits crowds at Christmas market, leaving two dead and 68 injured - BBC News' Car driven into crowd or driver hits crowd far better? Stop attaching agency to machines under human control @BBCNews

You think they've got with the programme ... 'after man drives car into Christmas market, killing five' Then first line in summary: 'after a car drove into crowds' 🤷‍♂️@bbcnews !

A snapshot of how our justice system is failing road crash victims and their families: Redi Muzhaki, 22, from Coventry: - Caused grandmother Linda Boore's (pictured) death through his careless driving on the A46, hitting her car head-on - Critically injured her husband, the passenger - Had no driving licence or insurance He must pay £187 as a victim surcharge, do 200 hours of community service and is banned from driving for 2 years (he doesn't even have a licence now). His three suspended sentences, running concurrently, mean he will avoid jail time.

Carbrain evident on @BBCBreakfast today A driver losing control, breaking through a wall and ending up in a pool is not normal and shouldn’t receive such light attention. It should serve as a warning. The consequences could have been far more serious. 🧵

Back here from Bluesky briefly ... Anybody able to recommend a Cardiff roofer? Yes, our situation has worsened after last night. 😔 Why is it so difficult to get a quote from a tradesman? 2 visited 3 months ago with no quote forthcoming. I've chased them again too!

If you're not voting Labour (understandable) Don't waste your vote on Reform, they don't care for us, make a genuine change for Wales with Plaid 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿✅️
Blimey. Barn Cymru poll by YouGov for ITV Cymru Wales/ @WalesGovernance Puts Plaid Cymru ahead of Labour. Reform joint 2nd. Senedd voting intention: - Plaid Cymru - 24% (+1) - Labour - 23% (-4) - Reform UK - 23% (+5) - Con - 19% (+1) - Lib Dem - 5% (-1) - Green - 6% (+1)

bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c2k0… The sooner the obscene practices of companies like this are clamped down on / they are driven out of business the better. But is primarily a failure of political regulation. They also shouldn't be run by private companies given their abject failure.
