If England win tonight, then all four semi-finalists will have had the advantage of three home group games, while other countries had to travel across Europe well in advance of the knockout stages. Euro2020 finals not a fair competition of sporting merit @UEFA .

For context, the first ever @Plaid_Cymru MP Gwynfor Evans used to ask about electrification in Wales. In the 1960s. That's how far behind our rail network is, thanks to decisions being made for us by a different country.

Wales has been woefully underfunded on rail investment, despite having 10% of the UK rail network. Invest more = More services and higher speeds, increased passenger demand resulting in reduction in required publicly funded rail operating subsidies... leading to more investment.

At some point in a tournament, every country bar one hits the wall and gets knocked out. Last time @cymru it was in the semi-finals, this time the last sixteen after facing every obstacle. Our legs weren't there today, but that's understandable after the last fortnight. Ymlaen!

On the same day, voters of the Vale of Glamorgan gave @Plaid_Cymru 8.6% of the Senedd constituency vote, 12.4% of the Senedd regional list and 16.5% for the Police and Crime Commissioner election. How weird are elections.🤷‍♂️

The irony is that many of the people who voted Leave will be those worst affected by the economic dislocation that now inevitably follows

Amongst the feelings of revulsion I had on reading this story, what shocked me was the level of self-entitlement and narcissism that a man feels capable of deliberately sabotaging a rape trial and put his name forward to be selected for elected office only a few months later.

"You have managed, singlehandedly, and I have no doubt it was deliberate on your part, to sabotage this trial." The words of a judge to a witness whose comments led a rape trial to collapse. That witness is the Tory party Assembly candidate for the Vale.

For generations, my family lived in Taff Street, Merthyr Vale after moving from County Cork in the mid-nineteenth century. The family are buried in Aberfan Cemetery on the other side of the river. I often feel the story of Irish-Welsh migration isn't told enough in our history.

Pleased that everybody agreed with my proposal to change the name of the Shop Local Advisory Group after I spotted an unfortunate acronym.

Wales beat Hungary tonight and qualified for Euro 2020. England’s political debate was awful and irrelevant to us. We are not a colony.

My favourite part of that debate was when it ended and I never had to watch it again. Read my live thoughts here:

Some people are interested in the Championship playoffs. My Dad on the other hand has just phoned me at half time in the Andorran league title decider to discuss implications for possible @barrytownunited Europa League opponents.
