Bruce Jenner is trending but Caitlyn Jenner isn't? Why do people feel the need to make trans jokes about her, some people are trans - get over it! This is exactly why Pride and LGBTQ+ history/education is crucial. Sad to think in 2019 Britain, this is still an issue. 🏳️🌈

Devolution is 20 years old, it's basic politics that Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have devolved power and yet for some it's as if it hasn't happened...
Another reason why politics should be part of the education system in all nations 🏴🏴🏴🇬🇧

A property developer turned drug dealer who made £320k from crime sprinted away from questions after leaving Cardiff Crown Court.
He was ordered to pay back £52k after the court heard his ill-gotten gains had largely been spent on a lavish lifestyle.
I am today nominating Eluned Morgan for leader of Welsh Labour.
I hope Eluned becomes our leader - her leadership would enable us all to move forward, united in delivering the vision of the Welsh Labour government.

Tributes have been paid by South Wales Police Federation to Sergeant Mark Woodward on the 20th anniversary of his death.
Mark was riding his motorbike to work when he was fatally injured in a collision on 14 June 2002. He was 30.

New Year's Eve always feels weird but 2019 has been amazing. I secured a scholarship to study for my MA, which has been incredible so far. This decade is definitely ending on a high, and would not be unless it was for my incredible friends & family. Here's to the next decade 🥂 x

As a huge Harry Potter fan would love to see the series cover the plot in the books a lot more closely, than the films did. Hopefully the series will see characters like Winky get some airtime!!
Welsh people, in their own country, being taught their own language.
A language which in history was decimated through law and the welsh not.
A language which has been spoken on this island longer than English yet only got protection in 1967.
