‘Hwyl fawr’ Twitter
I’ve long been intrigued by the interplay between the dark money that fuelled Brexit (amongst other nominally democratic events), and the use of social media to persuade and to influence. I’m surely not the only person who feels intense disquiet about the use of money to spread lies and misinformation – and the seeming impunity…

Bad customer service; it’ll come back to bite you
Our little girl was over the moon to receive her first bike. We’d decided to use The Bike Club, because we were supporting a ‘reuse’ economy, where the company sends out reconditioned bikes.
