A tribute to Chwarae Teg & a word of warning. No apology for long 🧵It’s been a rollercoaster of emotions the last few weeks. I’ve stayed quiet because no one needs the ex boss interfering when the board have made such a hard decision & staff have to deal with the consequences..

A huge diolch and thanks to the lovely senior team @oucymru for treating me tonight - cocktails thedeadcanary and food Asador 44 was just outstanding - will miss these folks hugely!!
