Reform UK can’t stand scrutiny… Reform declines invitation to first Senedd election broadcast debate

Darren Jones saying repeatedly the Labour Government won't comment on a hypothetical. It's not hypothetical - Trump is saying very loudly repeatedly what he's done and boasting about it. And yet the UK Government won't even say it's a breach of international rules. Shameful.

The stupidest people in the world continue to get cheered on by those whose lives will only be made worse by their actions. While the majority of us remain hostages to it all. It's so bleak.

It’s a bit cold 🥶 ⛄️ Aaaand a week too late!

Enjoyed reading Will Hayward’s predictions for the year ahead in Welsh politics - agree with most. One that I think is nailed on, that nobody’s really talking about, is this. There’s a couple of likely winners that definitely caught a raised eyebrow from me when the Plaid lists were announced 👇

I’d just like him to acknowledge that the Trump Regime’s actions are illegal - and illegal on a consistent basis at that, on multiple fronts. Just some backbone would be welcome rather than constantly pretending things are up for debate. Where’s Starmer’s red line? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

So the Mango Mussolini is threatening to invade Mexico now. This is absolutely deranged lunacy…. He must be stopped.

Remember when this lot went absolutely apoplectic with rage at Obama saying Brexit was a daft idea, claiming US Presidents aren’t allowed a view on UK politics? Now they’re calling on a foreign hostile regime to bomb London and overthrow the elected government. What a scary timeline to live in.

Trump voters have turned the most powerful country in the world - the longtime leader of the democratic West - into a violent rogue state. In doing so, they have smashed any semblance of international law and order. This ‘might is right’ world MAGA have inflicted upon us endangers all of humanity.

Spray paint a plane and they'll detain you without trial and call you a terrorist. Kidnap a foreign head of state - and Keir Starmer will make it clear we've played no part in it but will wait for the scheduled press conference in a few hours before potentially condemning it

The man is utterly unhinged. It’s full-on Henry VIII levels of sociopathy.

How can the United States abduct a foreign leader and put him on trial, yet won’t do anything about their own leader launching a failed coup? I think both autocrats are appalling characters in the same bracket of awfulness, for the avoidance of doubt.

Whatever you might think of Maduro, the seizure and kidnapping of a head of state takes us to a very dark place. Vast, arbitrary, extra-legal power, which could be exercised almost anywhere, regardless of the character of the target government.

Kidnapping the leader of a foreign state without any declaration of war and announcing it via social media is full-on rogue state stuff. From the world’s number one superpower.

Just GB News “patriots” fantasising about the United States bombing London and abducting the Prime Minister.

Venezuela - a question I asked in the #HouseofLords last month. Hoping we will get a stronger, clearer reaction this time from the UK government about the US attack, which cannot conceivably be legal under international law nataliebennett.org/latest/venez...

The world is really paying the price for the weakness of the American justice system. In any sane timeline the Tangerine Palpatine would have been jailed for the rest of his bitter life following his failed coup attempt. Let alone the known sexual assaults, fraud and embezzlement.

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

I strongly condemn the Trump Regime’s illegal acts of war in Venezuela and the Caribbean Sea. The self proclaimed “Peace President” is one of the biggest threats to the world and an aspiring Emperor. His pretensions must be opposed and it’s high time our leaders stopped pretending this is all ok.

It’s beyond time that the UK Government bans X. It’s a platform that monetises racism, misinformation, all kinds of bigotry and now generates child abuse. Ban it. And sanction its owner.

Couldn’t agree more, it took some beating to be less pro-Wales than the previous multitude of Tory ministers but Stevens has managed it. Comes across as seeing the role to be that of an enforcer of Westminster’s will upon Wales, rather than our voice at the cabinet table. Abolish the role.

Isn’t there a word for aiding and abetting a hostile foreign power to destabilise our society?

2026 Senedd Election Predictions. We’re 4 months out from the election, so here are my thoughts on what may happen. Current projections imply a strong left wing progressive and pro-independence vote (Plaid & Green), 3 short of a majority, with far-right Reform forming the official opposition. 🧵

Blwyddyn Newydd Dda 🥳 Happy New Year 🥳

Reform’s previous leader in Wales has just been jailed for 10 years after admitting to being a Russian asset.

Realisation is starting to sink in that Reform has a near zero chance of forming a Government after the Senedd Election. Other parties won’t work with them and they’re dropping in the polls, currently 2nd. Here’s their Trumpian direction - claim the election is illegitimate when they don’t win.

Would have thought the obvious issue is the ghoul lurking in the Kremlin’s bunker, sending drones and cruise missiles to kill kids; Putin.

Westminster duopoly’s attitude to Wales summed up succinctly. You should have had billions, but we’re allocating you a few million and you WILL be grateful as we could have allocated you nothing. Then all do a victory lap expecting applause. Farce.

I’m pretty sick of fox hunting blokes clad in red blazers sat atop a horse stating that they’re the voice of the rural way of life. I’ve lived in a rural area all my life and the people who partake in that activity are a tiny (wealthy) minority. It isn’t the 19th century anymore.

It’s disgusting for a newspaper to put Zacks name in the same headline as a child predator. But that’s what papers like this do, if they’re threatened by something they fear, they do disgusting things like this.

Multi-Millionaire gold bullion consultant, ex-City trader, self-proclaimed man of the people and part-time MP, Nigel Farage, defends rich toffs’ bloodlust. Shock. I think his attitude would be somewhat different if it was tracksuited youths on BMXs chasing down foxes with XL Bullies.

The mass pearl-clutching from the media regarding Zack, daring to post a Christmas message, is extremely over the top. I imagine it’s served to drive up viewing figures and donations though! 🎄

🎄 Merry Christmas from everyone at the Green Party 💚

I see the newly self-proclaimed Christian British nationalists are collectively raging over a Jewish man preaching compassion, hope and love at Christmas time. The irony.

Any excuse to kick something pro-Wales or pro-Cymraeg and this man is there leading the charge. It’s not unreasonable to expect the Secretary of State for Wales to use both of our official languages in comms and job role. Especially when it comes to a language the British state tried to erase.

This is the Wales that Reform’s ideology will build, this is what is on the ballot in May… What an appalling attack on a young girl, just because she happened to be born somewhere else. Such reckless hate must be pushed back against. Shame on those racist cowards.

If I ran a bookies I wouldn’t be taking bets on whether these “political assistants” turn out to mainly be partners, relatives or friends of Reform councillors.

Well colour me staggered.

The increasing convergence of mainstream media organisations, clickbait and the far-right has been one of the worst parts of 2025. They know full well it wasn't just some "anti immigration tweets". He called for people to join him on the streets, burn down migrant hotels and "start the slaughter".

Imagine being a Labour MP and thinking that using "lefties" as a slur is going to win back voters. Not only have they lost all identity, they're also utterly clueless.

Good grief….

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿Wales specific polling is very interesting. 🥀Over the last year, Labour have dropped 13pts (from 23 to 10), the exact gain left & centre parties have increased in the same timeframe (Plaid 9, Greens 3, LibDem 1). 🌼Plaid lead the way on 33pts and the Greens are enjoying a 50% increase in support!

Reform supporters yelling that the Greens and Plaid are Labour in a different rosette is pretty rich when Reform’s representatives are almost exclusively recycled Tories.

👀 this is a huge shift. Greens 2% points off 3rd place. Labour’s support has collapsed and mainly switched to Plaid Cymru, Greens and Lib Dems. Reform has cannibalised the Tories and the small far-right fringe parties. On these figures, I’d suggest a Plaid minority administration is most likely.

Living proof that money can’t buy you happiness.
