#SunBelt commish Keith Gill: "I still think divisions are great for the Sun Belt Conference."

@gill_godwin Agree completely. #EnoughIsEnough Our #FourthEstate has morphed into the #FilthEstate, #PierrePoilievre and his ilk spew unacceptable rhetoric that #CdnMedia repeats as fact, vulgar egregious behaviour is tolerated and in some cases, glorified. The silent majority can’t remain silent anymore.

REFORM UK: Former Senedd MS Caroline Jones resigns citing candidate parachuting and “wall of silence”
Jones, 70, who represented South Wales West as a regional MS from 2016 to 2021, announced her resignation on social media, saying she had formally submitted her departure more than 24 hours before making it public and had received no response from the party.
In a lengthy statement, Jones said local members who had worked hard in their communities had been passed over for candidacies, with individuals she described as having “little or no connection” to constituencies being placed into positions instead. She said this had caused “deep frustration and disappointment” among members, candidates and supporters who had invested time and resources in good faith.
More seriously, she alleged that some of those parachuted into constituencies had brought “further reputational damage” through conduct including allegations of racism and discrimination — claims she said had embarrassed those who had worked to represent their communities with integrity.
“This continued lack of engagement reflects the wall of silence that many of us have experienced when trying to seek clarity and accountability,” Jones wrote, adding that she had made repeated formal attempts to get answers and had consistently been ignored.
The resignation adds to a growing picture of turmoil inside Reform UK’s Welsh operation in the weeks before the May 2026 Senedd election. Swansea Bay News has reported extensively on the party’s difficulties across the region, including the collapse of its Bridgend candidate slate, a furious resignation in Swansea in which a candidate branded the party a “sewer”, and a Carmarthenshire candidate launch overshadowed by wider defections and internal turbulence.
Jones is not a new face to Welsh political turbulence. She was first elected on the UKIP ticket in 2016, briefly led the UKIP Senedd group in 2018, and subsequently left to sit as an independent before joining the Brexit Party — now Reform UK — in 2019. She later broke with the group again over its anti-devolution stance, forming the Independent Alliance for Reform group in the Senedd until her seat ended at the 2021 election. She rejoined Reform UK in 2023.
Her resignation echoes complaints that have surfaced repeatedly across Wales. Candidate selection disputes, allegations of racism and discrimination against Reform figures in the region, and the high-profile jailing of former Wales leader Nathan Gill for ten and a half years over a Russian bribery case have collectively damaged the party’s credibility ahead of what polls suggest could be a significant electoral moment.
Jones said her decision was “about integrity, and about standing up for what is right”, and that she remained committed to serving veterans and her community.
It is not yet clear whether she intends to stand as an independent candidate at the Senedd election or step back from frontline politics.
Jones represented the South Wales West region, which covers Bridgend, Neath Port Talbot and Swansea — areas that have been among the most turbulent for the party’s Welsh operation.
The Senedd election takes place on 7 May 2026. Reform UK has not yet responded to the resignation.

TV moment as Sir Alan Bates surprises Swansea Horizon scandal victim
Ian Davies, 63, from Swansea, will feature in this week’s episode of Car S.O.S, where he is surprised with a fully restored 1973 Triumph Bonneville motorbike.
Ian was wrongly accused of theft due to faults in the Horizon IT system — losing his job, reputation and financial stability as a result.
Although his name was eventually cleared, the personal toll was devastating, with both his parents and his wife passing away before they could see justice done.

(Image: National Geographic)Emotional surprise
The episode sees presenters Tim Shaw and Fuzz Townshend take on their first-ever motorbike restoration to rebuild Ian’s cherished bike.
After suffering a stroke that left him unable to complete the project himself, Ian was nominated by his cousin — leading to one of the show’s most personal transformations.
In a powerful moment, Sir Alan Bates joins the team to help reveal the finished bike.
Fuzz takes the restored bike for a ride“One of the most shocking miscarriages of justice”
Tim Shaw said Sir Alan’s involvement was deeply personal.
“Sir Alan has had countless requests since the scandal came to light, but he’s been very clear about stepping back from that world,” he said.
“But when he heard Ian’s story, it clearly struck something much deeper – this was something he felt he had to be part of.”
He added: “What happened with Horizon is one of the most shocking miscarriages of justice in modern British history.
“When you hear what Ian has been through – losing everything, being wrongly accused, and then not having his family there to see his name cleared – it really brings home the human cost.”
A story that shocked the nation
The Horizon scandal saw hundreds of sub-postmasters wrongly prosecuted between 1999 and 2015 due to faults in the IT system.
Sir Alan Bates became a central figure in the fight for justice, later portrayed by Toby Jones in the ITV drama Mr Bates vs The Post Office, which brought the scandal to national attention.
He was recognised in the 2024 King’s Birthday Honours for his services to justice.
The fully restored 1973 Triumph Bonneville is revealed in pristine condition.When and where to watch
The episode airs on National Geographic on Thursday 26 March at 8pm.

A film everyone must see
On Monday, 27th April, I visited STC, formerly known as St Thomas’ Church, Crookes, for a Community screening of the National Emergency Briefing film. There was a good-sized audience of around 60 people, but I’m guessing most were already quite knowledgeable about the climate and nature emergencies.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaI-dHgh65Q
The 50-minute film combines authoritative scientific content from the Westminster briefing in November last year, with reactions from members of the public and some more familiar faces, such as Jennifer Saunders and Deborah Meaden, which help audiences process the information on a more human level. It delivers the frank facts about the threats, but also the enormous benefits if the Government leads genuine emergency action.
The film features scientific evidence from experts such as Professor Tim Lenton on tipping points and Professor Paul Barran on food security. It covers climate impacts on national security, health, and the economy.
As a teacher, I always used to try to avoid tipping points. Kids would love to lean back in their chairs, and inevitably, they would occasionally go past the tipping point and end up on the floor. Climate tipping points are events that could radically change the global climate, such as the death of a rainforest, the collapse of an ice sheet, or the failure of an ocean circulation system, leading to rising sea levels and catastrophic changes in temperatures.
People who have seen the film have commented that although the facts are alarming, they felt a sense of optimism about confronting the challenge together and seeing a pathway to a better future.
Lucy Gavaghan was quoted in’Now Then, calling the film “…a masterclass in public communications… Somehow, it’s peppered with hope without feeling glib, occasionally witty without being gimmicky, and harrowing without leaving you fully numb…This film’s brilliance lies in the simple fact that it is harder to ignore than it is to respond to.”
Sarah Daly wrote in LinkedIn, “This film isn’t designed to sow fear, it is about hope. It’s about knowledge as power and the opportunity for grown-up conversations so that our political leaders can no longer pretend it’s business as usual, bow to industry lobbyists and vested interests and kick the can on decisions that affect our very survival through this decade and beyond. “
The film was conceived and developed by Ben Carey and Henrik Delehag at Climate Comms Lab Utopia Bureau.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ihBP0_zEO0
After the film, we split into small group discussions. Some audience reactions included Dave’s, who said, “The bulk of the responsibility does lie with the Government. We need to force the Government to tell the truth and to act.” Matthew had been impressed with the success of Sheffield’s Green Bonds, which very quickly raised £1million to purchase solar panels for school roofs. He wanted a national bond that people could invest in, so that the proceeds could be used to solve the climate and nature crises. Anne said she would spread the word in her local WhatsApp group and Book Group, because the film is very powerful.
Ideally, everyone needs to see this film, especially decision makers like MP’s and Councillors, Business leaders, Educationalists, Bankers, Health Executives, Generals – there isn’t a role that is not affected by the climate and nature emergencies and people in every walk of life need to be aware of what the experts are saying and how we can best meet the challenges. I’m pleased to say that following my question at the end of the meeting, the two Councillors present, Minesh Parekh and Ruth Milsom, were able to say that a showing would be organised for all the Sheffield Councillors at the Town Hall. Perhaps you could help organise a showing of the film in your local community, workplace or place of worship.
The idea is to build up a big community of activists who have seen the film, to pressure the BBC and other broadcasters to show it on prime-time television. During COVID, we had regular Emergency Briefings. We now need these for Climate and Nature.
The Government should launch a science-led national emergency response to climate and nature breakdown, showing the same leadership and determination as in World War 2. This should include emergency legislation to drive a rapid reduction in emissions whilst investing to adapt to a more dangerous climate. Evidence shows that such action will create jobs and improve lives.
International climate conferences have failed to deliver the scale of global action needed. By taking these steps, the UK can establish the credibility required to help lead by example to drive the global action that people across the world are calling for.
Teams of volunteers are organising showings all over Sheffield and inviting MP’s and the public to see it. There have already been showings at Stannington, Sheffield University, Broomhall and the Energy Centre on Cambridge Street. The next showings are

Dr Cathy Rhodes, the Diocesan Environment Officer, helped organise this screening with the local Eco Church group, made up of people from 4 congregations. She said, “The Climate and Nature Emergency is accelerating and becoming really critical. We need to wake up and hear our call to care for God’s creation, vulnerable people, and address climate injustice. We’re hoping that, in showing the film in churches throughout the Diocese, and indeed to all denominations throughout the country, we will raise awareness, give opportunities to people to listen and learn, come together and begin to take action. The Church of England and Green Christians have some excellent resources that can be made available. Contact us via the diocesan website.
Please write to your MP to invite them to the 16th July screening
Please use this template to invite your MP to the screening on 16th July.
Dear [MP’s Name],
I am writing as your constituent to invite you to attend a local screening of the People’s Emergency Briefing film.
The UK faces a growing climate and nature emergency, but most people have never been fully briefed on what it means for our lives, our economy and our future. This new film from the National Emergency Briefing sets out the risks facing the nation – and the credible, positive responses available.
Location: Adsetts Centre, SHU City Campus, City Centre, S1 1WB (Arundel Gate entrance)
Date: 16 July
Time: 19:00 (Door open at 19:00 for a prompt start at 19:15)Over 200 Sheffield residents are expected to attend, so this will be a great chance for you to engage with your constituents.
The film features footage from last November’s National Emergency Briefing, which brought together leading UK experts in climate science, food security, health, economics, national security and nature. It presents a clear, measured overview of how the climate and nature crisis is affecting everyday life in Britain – and what the evidence says about the risks and the responses needed.
The film exists to give the public the same information Parliament received in November, helping people understand the challenges before us.The initiative is explicitly non-partisan, and the events are designed as open community conversations rather than political platforms. It has support from a wide range of organisations, including the National Trust, the Church of England, Exeter University, the Royal Meteorological Society, WWF, the National Education Union, and many more.
Following the 45-minute film, we will host a 45-minute structured discussion on what this means for our local community, and it would be great if you could attend and join the conversation. Your presence at the event, as a participant in the discussion or just engaging with constituents, would demonstrate how important this issue is to all of us.
I appreciate that you have many draws on your time, but it would be so valuable if you could attend. I will be going to the event – please let me know if you are able to join us.
With best wishes,
[Your Name]

🔸Project Liberty can play an organizing role,
incubating a new generation of user-owned social media businesses.While it’s a competitive field with entrenched players,
social media technology is not complex,

Coming soon to a Britain near you:
#MarkCurtis | How frightening would Nigel Farage’s foreign policy be?
"Farage has, of course, been one of Trump’s leading supporters in the UK and has regularly campaigned and fundraised for him. 'For 10 years I have stood up and defended President Trump,' Farage told parliament proudly, earlier this year."
"After two years of Israeli slaughter in Palestine, the party recently set up a Reform Friends of Israel, mirroring similar Labour and Conservative groups."
"... the recent extraordinary case of Reform politician Nathan Gill, who was close to Farage, being imprisoned for taking bribes from Russia, has revived claims that Farage and his entourage are close to Putin and Russia."
"In this light, it’s no surprise that Reform welcomes the AUKUS military agreement between the US, Britain and Australia – widely seen as directed at China – which to Farage signals 'the Anglosphere realigning to protect liberty and freedom in the world'."
