' Richey Edwards has been missing for 27 years.
He was 27 when he disappeared on February 1, 1995.
He's been gone as long as he was with us.
Here is one of his smashed guitars from an early gig that the band keep in storage.
Always missed. Never forgotten.
I’ve worked as a journalist for 34 years. This is the first award I’ve ever won. (Seventh time lucky) I’m in shock. Wales winning last night. This tonight. Best 48 hours ever. Thanks to my superb colleagues at

The Game of Thrones star has called for the Prince of Wales title to be scrapped commenting - 'It’s an archaic title that was essentially invented to keep the Welsh down'
There will be plenty of clips of Eddie Butler's elegant, eloquent commentary and rightfully so, he was a master of his craft, but as an orator this speech at the independence rally in Merthyr is sublime.
We’re playing every neutral’s favourite team in front of no Wales fans. Beat them and we’re the most disliked team in Europe. It’s never easy supporting Wales is it.
Page tactical ineptitude cost us again. Got it wrong against USA. Got it wrong again today. And not the first time. Denmark in Euros. Holland Belgium games in the Nations League. Needed pace, width from off to stretch Iran defence, get balls into Moore. We failed miserably /1
What a whopper.

@realDonaldTrump
Sometimes I feel like I’m living in an alternate reality such is the insanity on display here. It’s scarcely believable what we are witnessing from such a deluded individual masquerading as a spoilt child. Trump supporters should be embarrassed to their core by this madman.
I've been a journalist for 30 years. I've always viewed it as a great responsibility and an enormous privilege to be able to tell other people's stories. In tomorrow's Western Mail, I've written the hardest piece I've ever had to write. My own story. /1
Wales fans proved once again they are the friendliest supporters in world football by spreading some Welsh love and handing out daffodils on the streets of Split.
Full story:
"His is the hiraeth of a love affair with his country, a grand longing to elevate Wales to even greater heights, a dragon’s fire that refuses to be extinguished."
Wrote this about Gareth Bale...

When you're so blinkered that you cannot see what the world sees. When you're so brainwashed and delusional that the idiocy of risible propaganda is your only device. We see you. We'll never stop seeing you.
Whatever happens tomorrow, I love the way Rob Page speaks, his passion and his undoubted pride in managing Wales. He's a good man and we're lucky to have him.
Such a lovely moment for

Richey Edwards on his 55th birthday. I interviewed Richey twice - in 1990 and 1992. I’ve never met anyone so intelligent, eloquent or articulate. A rock star with the mind of a scholar. Below is the pic from that first unforgettable meeting in Cardiff.

For too long we’ve harboured an inferiority complex about who we are and what we are.
Last night underlined what a little country with a big heart can achieve when it truly believes in itself.
Footballing self-determination today. Independence tomorrow.

There is nothing like Twitter as a shared community at wonderful moments like this. I'm watching Macca alone at home, but alongside thousands on here. Just beautiful. The power of music. You can't beat it.

Many of us feared this moment, but now here it is. Monday January 9, 2023 will forever be enshrined as the day Wales' greatest ever player retired from football. A captain, a leader and the proudest Welshman. He gave us hope, belief and the greatest of times. Diolch Gareth x

I'm still numb with shock at this news and profoundly moved by her statement. It explains so much. Her bravery in speaking out is immense. We can only send her all the love and strength in the world.
Trust me this is one of the best things you will watch today, or any other day for that matter.

Say what you like about Macca's voice. Or his age. The sight of young kids in that audience singing his songs back to him will never grow old. In terms of cultural influence there is no one greater. Cherish him while we can.

As the constant confusion of the world clouds our senses, there is at least a reassuring constant, a guiding light, to illuminate the dark and shade. Pushing ever onwards
