"The polls show conclusively that Labour cannot win (in Caerphilly), and so every vote for them... makes it more likely that Reform takes the seat... but what people do in the privacy of the ballot booth is down to them."
I'll say it out loud: Vote Plaid.

“The picture of Welsh politics is changing and Plaid Cymru is the voice of progressive Wales... it’s becoming more and more clear it’s a two-horse race – Reform’s division versus Plaid’s vision.”

✨Friday 9th, Main Stage @ 11.45 Join Jonathan Bone, @mabonapgwynfor.bsky.social and Suzanne Cass to debate the politics of preventative health and the need for brave decisions
Former Reform leader in Wales was Putin's shill.
They have an agenda, and we're being played.

Why Tackling Poverty is a Health Policy

Reform (former Tory, quelle surprise) being openly racist (and this is his edited tweet!).
This is where we're at, where people with vile views deem it acceptable to say vile racist things openly.
We need to stand by our brothers and sisters and stop this sinister goose stepping towards fascism.
"Look after our own first" shout Reform and their accolytes, as they close down five adult education centres without any public consultation.
Don't believe these grifters.
They don't care for anybody - least of all the vulnerable, marginalised and poor.

Mae'r argyfwng dyngarol yn Gaza yn gwaethygu bob dydd.
Mae gan y DU gyfrifoldeb moesol a chyfreithiol i sicrhau bod Israel yn cydymffurfio â chyfraith ryngwladol.
Rhaid parhau i roi pwysau ar Lywodraeth y DU i wneud popeth o fewn ei gallu i roi diwedd ar yr erchyllterau a welwn yn Gaza.
The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is worsening by the day.
The UK Government has a moral and legal responsibility to ensure Israel complies with international law.
We must continue to put pressure on the UK Government to do everything in its power to put an end to the atrocities seen in Gaza.
15 years of austerity hollowing out public services, scarce affordable housing, an NHS strained by an ageing population and poverty-related illness are being ignored. Instead we have seen the unleashing of xenophobic rhetoric that smothers rational discourse.

In the Name of Humanity: Rejecting the Fear of “Others”
Rising hostility towards 'immigrants', refugees, and asylum seekers is not simply a clash of opinions—it is the product of political decisions, economic mismanagement, and deliberate fearmongering.

Wedi dod ar draws hwn - meme, o fath, wnes i greu nol yn 2011. Dal yn wir heddiw.
I came across this earlier - a meme, of sorts, I made back in 2011. Still true today.
“Ultimately it’s about giving people hope that what we have now is not as good as it gets for Wales. We are the party of ambition.”

Wedi mwynhau sesiwn buddiol iawn o ymgyrchu dros Victoria Evans yn Llandiloes heddiw ar gyfer yr is-etholiad ar ddechrau Gorffennaf.
Mae Victoria yn ferch leol sy'n adnabod ei phlwy ac yn awyddus i chwarae ei rhan i wella ansawdd byw yn yr ardal.
Labour in Wales were frenziedly spinning the Spending Review claiming how they delivered a good deal for Wales.
The truth is that Labour run Wales is one of the losers, while SNP run Scotland has gained.
Can someone explain to me how this partnership in power thing is working?
Labour frantically spinning the £445m rail funding hoping the people of Wales are too stupid to remember the £4bn owed to us because of HS2, the £300m+ we're denied because of the Cambridge-Oxford line, let alone the decades of chronic under investment.
People aren't stupid.
Rhyfeddol fod Llafur yn trio gwerthu y cyhoeddiad am arian ar rheilffyrdd i Gymru fel llwyddiant.
£445m, ar ol clywed yr wythnos diwethaf yn unig ein bod ni wedi colli allan ar dros £300m oherwydd gwariant Caergrawnt-Rhydychen, heb son am y £4bn o HS2, a degawdau o dan wariant.
Colonial extraction and unequal exchange have shaped two centuries of North-South inequality.
A thread on the new study written with @gatonievas.bsky.social
[A thread 1/8🧵]
As the debate around illegal migrants is once again being voiced in the UK, I thought I'd share this piece I wrote at the end of last summer regarding young Zaghawa men I met in France.

Sympathies. I'm afraid that Starmer's speech today will only make things worse and is feeding into Reform's agenda.
We've made it clear: we will not strike a deal with Ref. Labour haven't said this yet, sadly. Our campaigning won't drive people to Ref. The support for Ref comes from 2 places: Tory switchers and low propensity voters. That second group are responding to austerity. That's what we need to stop.
This is the Chief Secretary to the Treasury, a key figure who:
➡️ scrapped the winter fuel payment,
➡️ is pushing to cut PIP Payments,
➡️ has cut foreign aid,
➡️ refuses to scrap 2 child cap,
➡️ refuses WASPI fairness -
and has the gall to say that Labour is on the side of love and compassion!
🌼Change is coming.
In Wales we have a positive alternative to the tired Labour Government, giving new hope and a clear vision on how to improve the lives of the people of Wales, stand up for Wales, and give Wales a disitinct voice.
That's why people are coming over to @plaidcymru.bsky.social

Thank you @mabonapgwynfor.bsky.social for meeting us at the Senedd today to talk about the launch of our new domestic burning report. We are calling on the Welsh Government to do more to reduce domestic burning and make people aware of the dangers www.asthmaandlung.org.uk/domestic-bur...
