Calls to close government building after falling windows
A union representing workers at a UK government building has called on the office to be closed until a structural survey is completed because of safety concerns. The Public and Commercial Services union (PCS) says three window panes have cracked or fallen out of the Department for Work and Pensions building in Treforest, Rhondda Cynon Taf, since October 2024. Union bosses are asking for an urgent audit to be carried out, and for staff to be allowed to work from home until the building is passed as safe. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) says it takes staff and customer safety seriously and that the site had reopened after being declared safe. Welsh government should sell Cardiff HQ, insider says Use offices or lose them, Welsh government staff told The first incident is understood to have happened in October 2024, when a pane of glass in the building cracked. In July, a window fell out of the fourth floor, and a third incident followed in August, when a window fell from the third floor. The building opened in 2020, and about 1600 members of staff work at the Treforest site, though office attendance is currently fixed at 40%. Since opening, the building has also experienced issues with flooding. In a statement, PCS general secretary Fran Heathcote said: "The DWP office at Ty Taf has been a disaster since it first opened. Despite PCS raising several health and safety issues over the years, the DWP has failed to remedy the problems. "We urge the DWP to urgently conduct a full audit of all our reps' safety concerns and close the office until the audit is complete and the full range of remedial measures are implemented. "The DWP must allay the fears of our members. The most sensible thing would be to allow them to work from home until staff can be assured that their workplace is safe." It is understood that PCS has asked for a meeting with DWP staff about the issue. A DWP spokesperson said: "We take staff and customer safety seriously. The site has reopened after being declared safe." Should working from home staff go to the office?

Wrexham owners' 'legacy' in 2035 Women's World Cup plan
Football Association of Wales (FAW) chief executive Noel Mooney has revealed the "legacy" role of Wrexham owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney in their 2035 Women's World Cup plan. The United Kingdom is the sole bidder to host an expanded 48-team tournament in 2035 - and the FAW has targeted two venues among the 16 stadiums planned. The FAW wants one in the south of the country - probably Cardiff City Stadium rather than Welsh rugby's Principality Stadium home - and one in the north, Wrexham's redeveloped Stok Cae Ras home. Wrexham's Hollywood owners Reynolds and McElhenney are seeking to expand the Red Dragons' stadium, with a proposed 7,750-seater Kop stand taking capacity to around 18,000. The pair - who were at the Stok Cae Ras on Saturday to watch newly-promoted Wrexham play their first home game in the Championship - said in May 2024 that development on all four sides of the ground could lead to "between 45,000 and 55,000 people in there". "The Kop development is a significant first step and the vision for the stadium is incredible," Mooney told the PA news agency. "What Ryan and Rob are doing is amazing. They are looking to invest in the stadium and build up the Cae Ras, which is the oldest international ground in the world, and there is a potential north star for them. "The city and the club have a chance to bring a World Cup to north Wales. What a story that would be. What a legacy for Ryan and Rob to leave Wrexham." Reynolds and McElhenney 'don't make football decisions' Wrexham AFC West Brom beat Wrexham to maintain winning start The FAW and Wrexham held talks over the Women's World Cup last week and Wales will host the 2026 European Under-19 Championship next summer. All games will be played in the north at Bangor, Colwyn Bay, Deeside, Denbigh, Deeside and Wrexham, with the Stok Cae Ras hosting the final. "It's our 150th anniversary next year, we were founded in Wrexham, and the story is very powerful for us," added Mooney, who said the FAW will launch a 10-year strategy for Welsh football in 2026. "The impact of Ryan and Rob has been manna from heaven for us, the timing of it. "We've been very fortunate over the last few years to get to a men's World Cup, first women's Euros, and have our young teams starting to qualify for major championships." "That has coincided with Ryan and Rob coming in." Under Reynolds and McElhenney Wrexham have risen from the National League to the Championship with three successive promotions, and manager Phil Parkinson has been able to spend around £20m on player recruitment this summer, including Wales internationals Nathan Broadhead, Kieffer Moore and Danny Ward. "Wrexham has already started collecting a lot of our national team players, and will produce lots of players for us in the future with their investment in youth development and academy," noted Mooney. "There is a symbiotic relationship there where we can create a lot of value for each other. "People all over the world are talking about Wrexham and that inspires partners like Fifa, commercial bodies and governments to get involved." The UK's formal bid for the 2035 Women's World Cup will be submitted in November and likely to be approved by Fifa next year, with all four home nations automatically qualifying for the tournament.

Fantasy Premier League: Best budget FPL players to consider
Smart coaches are already beyond the clear selections to find value in the transfer market as the new Fantasy Premier League campaign draws near. Although high-value assets dominate the FPL news, it is the budget players that can make the difference. Five outstanding FPL budget options who might beat their low-cost values this season are listed below. Fantasy Premier League: Best budget FPL assets in 2025/26 Martin Dubravka – Burnley (£4m) Newcastle United's former number one has secured a fresh start at newly-promoted Burnley, and at just £4 million, he represents exceptional value. The 36-year-old Slovakia international brings seven-and-a-half years of Premier League experience to Turf Moor. Also it is highly likely for him to be only first-choice goalkeeper at £4m in FPL. Joe Rodon – Leeds (£4m) The Welsh international has become a cornerstone of Leeds United's defence and represents outstanding value at just £4m. Rodon played every single minute of Leeds' successful promotion campaign, helping the club secure their return to the Premier League after a two-year absence. Tijjani Reijnders – Manchester City (£5.5m) Manchester City's summer signing from AC Milan could prove to be one of the bargains of the season at £5.5 million. The 26-year-old Dutch international was named Serie A's Best Midfielder in 2024/25 after a stellar campaign that saw him score 15 goals in 54 appearances for Milan. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall – Everton (£5m) Everton's new signing represents excellent value at £5m, particularly given his proven Premier League track record. The 26-year-old midfielder played a pivotal role in Leicester City's 2023/24 Championship triumph, scoring 12 goals and providing 14 assists in 44 matches during their promotion-winning campaign. Jorgen Strand Larsen – Wolves (£6.5m) The Norwegian striker has made his loan move from Celta Vigo permanent after an impressive debut Premier League season. Strand Larsen scored 14 goals in his first campaign. Among players with at least 20 shots last season, Strand Larsen boasted the third-best conversion rate at 25.9% and the second-highest shooting accuracy at 69.4%. The 25-year-old's physical presence proved crucial, winning 67 aerial duels throughout the season. With Matheus Cunha's departure to Manchester United, Strand Larsen is likely to inherit penalty duties, adding further appeal to his FPL profile. The Budget FPL players Strategy These five players provide FPL managers the ideal mix of upside potential and cheapness. Finding true quality at reduced pricing can give the base for a successful season in a game where budget restrictions force tough choices. Recognising value throughout all pricing ranges and creating a balanced team will be crucial to success in 2025/26. Read – See more – Follow The Football Faithful on Social Media: | | | |
