  8. Carmarthenshire and Swansea lottery winners help ToyBox Project spread Christmas magic

    Chris and Geraldine Bradley from Carmarthen, who won £3.5 million on Lotto, and Jeffrey and Davinia Pritchard from Carmarthenshire, who scooped £1 million on EuroMillions Millionaire Maker, were among those lending a hand. They were joined by Swansea couple Darren and Gemma Burfitt, who won on the EuroMillions Millionaire Maker last year.

    The trio of local winners were part of a wider team of National Lottery winners from across Wales and the UK who came together to support the volunteer‑led project, which has received £144,800 from the National Lottery Community Fund.

    Local winners give back

    The ToyBox Project collects pre‑loved and new toys for families in need, with demand expected to double this Christmas. More than 1,500 children are set to receive gifts this festive season, with volunteers working to ensure no child misses out.

    Darren and Gemma Burfitt said:

    “Christmas is magical for all children, ours included, and ToyBox helps keep that magic alive for those who may have nothing or very little to open.”

    Chris and Geraldine Bradley added:

    “It’s wonderful to see how much effort goes into making sure children don’t miss out at Christmas. Being able to give back in this way is really special.”

    A growing project

    Since its launch in 2020, ToyBox has supported thousands of families across South Wales. In 2024 alone, the project provided toys to more than 9,000 children.

    James Morgan from ToyBox Project said:

    “The National Lottery winners’ energy and enthusiasm have really brought the Christmas spirit alive. Having this extra help will set us up for the Christmas rush and ensure many more children have a magical surprise to open.”

    ToyBox welcomes donations of toys, time and financial support to help meet rising demand.

  9. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Deindustrialisation lead to massive job looses and loose of some identity, in a lot of Welsh towns like Caerphilly. Neoliberalism followed by Austerity, falling living standards and rising landlordism has since been hollowing out these towns. Listening to some of these reform votes I get the impression that they would be making Communist arguments and correctly blaming the bourgeoisie instead of migrants.
    There are other Reform voters who are just racist or facebook-brain-broken like the reform campaigner interviewed earlier in this clip,, however there are reform voters who, perhaps, would be susceptible to a class analysis, if one was made to them. :marx: :gay_communism:

  15. When (if) NZ Labour wakes from their slumber, they might well take a lesson from last week's Caerphilly by-election in Wales. The seat has been a Labour stronghold for over 100 years. But like a dog with a stick, Starmer is chasing the Overton window, determined to compete with Farage. A right-of-centre Labour didn't sit well with core voters.

    Plaid Cymru won with 47%, Farage's Reform numpties came second and Labour only picked up 11% of the vote. They came third in a formerly 100% safe Labour seat.

    NZ Labour's own figures show their proposed CGT will only bring in $700m per year. Frankly that's pathetic. I'm sure NZ's billionaire class are already shaking in their boots.

    The problem is not just Hipkins' lack of vision or ambition. The Labour Party's general malaise does not inspire confidence. It's time Kieran McAnulty made a run for the leadership because NZ deserves a Labour leader with fire in their belly. The timid centrist who's afraid of upsetting the status quo will not win the next election.

  16. The #Caerphilly by-election was bad.

    Better use the 'let the sex offender out of jail by mistake' routine so they don't talk about it on the Sunday morning politics shows ....

  17. #BBCLauraK asks Streeting how does the Labour Party react to the #Caerphilly by-election result?

    He gives a non answer and provides an example of what his NHS had been doing..

    It seems that the focus group has not worked out what to say yet

    Despicable

  18. On this week’s Full Scottish, Brian Liddy and guest, Huw Marshall from Talking Wales discuss the weeks top Scottish and international news, including Ukraine, Gaza, Caerphilly, Labour Deputy Leader and Press Freedom.

    The post appeared first on Broadcasting Scotland.

  19. The "They got the second most votes, so we should still take them very seriously and cater to what they want" takes r.e. Reform losing in #Caerphilly are extremely annoying, especially when you consider that Farage and his ilk have spent the last decade constantly saying the exact opposite.

  25. One key lesson from the Caerphilly by-election is (or at least should be) that ReformUK can be defeated not by adopting some of its policies in an attempt to strip away their support via imitation, but by forthright opposition for what they stand for (and by an associated recognition that tactical voting in a FPTP system is the best current inoculation against the Right in elections).

    Will Labour learn that lesson?
    Seems unlikely!

  26. tiny detail on the guardian cartoon led me to this

    Farage has said he was "stunned" his party's former leader in Wales took bribes to make statements in favour of #Russia while a Member of the European Parliament.
    Nathan Gill, pleaded guilty to eight counts of bribery between 6 December 2018 and 18 July 2019.
    Farage said: "I didn't know anything about it, all I knew was that he'd been to #Ukraine."
