Immigration isn’t devolved. Voting Reform at the Senedd Election because of small boats would be foolish. Devolution means that some issues are in Welsh Government control. You should look at those issues, check manifestos, and decide who’d best serve Wales’ interests. Spoiler: it’s not Reform.

When poets, pacifists and peaceful protesters are arrested while the far- right exercise their “freedom of speech” with Nazi salutes and hate slogans…

Noticed that ITV news have dropped the ‘Hamas run’ when mentioning the Gaza Health Authority when reporting on the number of deaths & atrocities committed by the IDF but the BBC persists. Clearly a means to discredit and cast doubt on the source. Shameful by the BBC with war crimes being committed.

The documentary that the BBC refused to air showing the targeting, detainment and torture of medics in Gaza by Israeli authorities was broadcast by Channel 4 last night. Amnesty International researcher, Budour Hassan, explains the use of secret sites by the Israeli authorities.

BBC news headlines right now. It's utterly depressing.

And on it goes. Israeli politicians using UK media to stoke up outrage around Bob Vylan & Kneecap must be laughing their heads off at how easy it all is. I think this brings the Palestinian death toll *since the Glastonbury performance* in to triple figures. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Iran responds to US attack on its nuclear facilities by attacking US bases in Iraq & Qatar. If China & Russia support Iran, we can end up with a huge tragedy for the entire planet. An eye-for-eye and the whole world is blind. Need sanity and statesmanship. Both in short supply.

NEW: While mainstream news goes wall-to-wall on a performative Iranian attack that harmed no-one, Israeli forces have shot dead another 33 starving Palestinians queuing for food. Aid as bait, death by firing squad. Posting this here because I’m fucking sure you won’t see it elsewhere.

Starmer says Iran must return to the negotiating table but unfortunately last week Israel murdered Iran’s chief negotiator who was already at the negotiating table.

Looks like Starmer is continuing in the grand Labour tradition of supporting illegal US wars in the Middle East on spurious grounds. x.com/keir_starmer...

Trump apparently doesn’t want commerce with other countries; just war.

“NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!,” ( says Trump as he bombs 3 sites in Iran) The strikes mark the most significant U.S. military attack on Iran in modern history and will have a defining impact on the legacy of Trump’s second term @politico .

I still remember how long the USA argued over whether or not there were 'weapons of mass destruction' in Iraq. Colin Powell did a whole thing at the UN. Now it's just 'Trump said they have them.'

This chart is absolutely essential. It explains why Trump removed America from the Iran Nuclear Deal in 2018. Because it was *working*. Trump needed a cause for war, so he manufactured it. This has all been in the works for some time now. He was never "weighing options."

Israel Trumps America First

And you dare to call me a terrorist, while you look down your gun, when I think of all the deeds that you had done. You had plundered many nations, divided many lands, you had terrorised their peoples, you ruled with an iron hand and you brought this reign of terror to my land.

Just in case anyone wants a reminder of how Trump helped create the situation he's now using as justification to bomb Iran. abcnews.go.com/Politics/ira...

Ffon y Cawr (the giant’s stick) near Rowen, Dyffryn Conwy. Legend has it that the stone was thrown by a giant from the hill fort at Pen y Gaer (hill on left) to wake his dog who was sleeping in the burial chamber Maen y Bardd nearby. @megalithic.bsky.social

This stone is 9.4 metres high (yes 9.4 metres!) + it’s not even the tallest standing stone in Brittany. The Menhir de Champ Dolent is sinking into the ground, they say, and when it’s completely gone, the world will end (I think it might end before then). #standingstonesunday @megalithic.bsky.social

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?

ALL 22 Welsh councils have voted to devolve the Crown Estate to Wales Labour mustn’t block our calls anymore - they must act and give Wales the powers over our natural resources to keep Welsh profits in our communities 💪💚

Bangor university gives its vice chancellor a 13% pay rise then cuts dozens of jobs. Handing out massive pay rises while frontline staff face the sack is indefensible. @bangorucu.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

History has taught us that prosperity for the people of Cymru won’t come from extracting the resources under their feet, but from developing the people themselves.

They call protest performative but what else do we have, when elected representatives are unrepresentative and choose inaction? Their silence, collusion. Every moment they refuse to act proves how unfit they are to represent anyone but themselves. Greta is extraordinarily brave.

BREAKING: Israel's defence minister Israel Katz has said Greta Thunberg is antisemitic for trying to feed starving people in Gaza. Presumably, the only way to not be antisemitic would be to support the mass starvation of Palestinians ♥️
