As I was walking home from shopping today, I spotted this #cricket (is it a #grasshopper? I don’t know) as it flew in between us and landed on the driveway. It was about 2 cm in length and sat quite still and so I got my #camera to #photograph it. I’m calling this one the Cricket at its Shadow.

Why would the far right faction that's taken over the Conservative Party be so keen on subsidising oil and gas consumption? Unless of course they're dependent on financial contributions from the fossil fuel industry | Andy Brown

Johnson was louche, lazy, venal, dishonest. He would strike any deal, however odious, to secure his position. But Truss and her entourage are fanatically devoted to one aim: ensuring that the oligarchs get what they want, regardless of the cost the rest of us might bear.

Time to retire the conferred royal title of Prince of Wales. It has no relevance in a progressive, inclusive and forward looking Wales. The title serves no constitutional purpose and reeks of a colonialism from a bye gone age #notmyprince
In just 24 hours, over 10,000 sign petition against Prince of Wales title after it is handed to Prince William without any consultation. https://nation.cymru/news/prince-wales-william-petition/
The break up of the UK is now more likely now that the Queen is gone, journalist Andrew Neil has said. https://nation.cymru/news/break-up-of-the-uk-more-likely-now-queen-is-gone-journalist-andrew-neil-says/

"Declaring a new Prince of Wales with no discussion with the people of Wales wasn't right" https://nation.cymru/opinion/declaring-a-new-prince-of-wales-with-no-discussion-with-the-people-of-wales-wasnt-right/
Young anti-nuclear campaigners have protested against plans for new nuclear power stations to be built in Wales with a 70-mile march across Gwynedd and Anglesey. https://nation.cymru/news/campaigners-march-against-plans-for-new-nuclear-power-stations/
Mark Drakeford says he wasn't told there would be a new Prince of Wales before the announcement.
He added that there was no rush towards an investiture so that 'if there’s a debate to be had, to give a chance to that debate'. https://nation.cymru/news/mark-drakeford-prince-of-wales/
As it stands at the moment, only one third want any sort of monarchy, just over one third want it abolished, and the remaining third don't care.

I still don’t understand why the royal family did not ask people to donate money to charity instead of buying flowers. Food banks can do with all the help they can get right now.
