The response we’re seeing for #AnnDroid is just fantastic. According to Digital Spy the show is jumping to the top of the streaming charts on BBC!!

Have now watched every episode of #AnnDroid on #BBCiplayer and can thoroughly recommend it - it deals with the effects of loneliness and old age beautifully and in a funny way reminded me of sitcoms like #Dinnerladies and #Mum - I hope there is series 2 #DianeMorgan

More fantastic Puffin news from Skomer Island! 😍👏🐦
Good news: A record 52,019 puffins were counted on Skomer Island this spring, off the coast of Wales. Last year's record was 43,626. The year before, 42,513. Puffins are globally listed as vulnerable, and most colonies elsewhere are crashing. Mass seabird die-offs hit southern European beaches earlier this year. But Skomer keeps going the other way. The reasons aren't a mystery. The island has no rats and no foxes (the two predators that wipe out ground-nesting seabirds almost everywhere they're introduced). The surrounding waters still have enough small fish to feed chicks. The Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales has been counting every bird every spring for decades, which is the only reason anyone knows the colony is bucking the trend. The Skomer puffin story is what real conservation usually looks like. Boring, repetitive, decades-long, and dependent on a small group of people who give a shit walking the same patch of land every year with binoculars.

The govt's Student Loan Plan 2 repayment freeze in April 2027 must be reversed. It isn't moral. I'm concerned that my debate with Kemi Badenoch this morning distracts from the most immediate problem. In April 2027 Rachel Reeves will freeze the Plan 2 student loan threshold until 2030 which by then will increase graduate repayments by £300/yr more. This is effectively a unilateral negative breach of the student loan contract. Students were told the threshold would rise with average earnings. No commercial lender would be allowed to do this. The govt shouldn't do it either. Changing the terms of future students loans is a political decision - people may not like it but it is transparent. Negatively changing the terms of contracts already signed, and long in place, is a breach of natural justice.

This petition calling for a public inquiry into Russian interference is now up to 13k, and growing fast. It's still early days, but it's notable that the percentage of people signing is highest in Wales. This suggests that media coverage of Nathan Gill was considerably more extensive in Wales than elsewhere, which is disturbing because it suggests coverage of Gill's treason was insufficient outside Wales, given that it was a matter of UK national importance. Please share the petition as widely as possible. petitionmap.unboxedconsultin…

The Japanese Ambassador does more to promote beautiful Northern Ireland more than our own politicians
Visited Dunluce Castle, a place filled with romance and history. Its appearance perched on the cliff was magnificent and I could feel its former glory. Also enjoyed the refreshing breeze and beautiful scenery walking along the Portrush coastline.

Sadly, Emily Maguire has a throat infection and must postpone her gig with us on Sunday. She's already rescheduled for 11 Jan. If you bought tickets for Sun, you can either ask WGT for a refund, or do nothing, and you’re already booked to see Emily in Jan. Get well soon, Emily!
