Do you think the UK should join the boycott of the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest? Ireland, Spain, the Netherlands and Slovenia will boycott the event, after it was decided Israel could compete. They were among a number of countries who had called for Israel to be excluded - over the war in Gaza and accusations of unfair voting practices. But at a meeting of the European Broadcasting Union, a majority of members agreed that Eurovision 2026 could proceed as planned. Do you have a parcel delivery horror story? The delivery firm Evri’s depot in Llandrindod Wells has been described as a dumping ground, after pictures appeared online showing parcels strewn outside. Some posters said that parcels had been treated like rubbish. In response, the company say that their priority is to handle every parcel with care, and in Llandrindod, they are actively reviewing options for a larger location. And does maths scare you? Events have been held across Wales this week to mark Mathŵyl Cymru – or Maths Week Wales. The idea is to encourage people to think about the subject in a new light, and alleviate the anxiety that some may associate with it. Call or WhatsApp 03700 100 110, or Text 8 10 12. Be part of the nations' conversation.
