My piece in @bylines.cymru on Saturday’s Cardiff Transformed conference. A hopeful day with @zackpolanski.bsky.social @leannewood.bsky.social Beth Winter and many others.

Thanks to Cardiff Transformed for an inspiring and enjoyable event yesterday. Was great to discuss, debate with and hear from a wide ranging group of speakers including @zackpolanski.bsky.social @greenpartymolly.bsky.social @leannewood.bsky.social Beth Winter and many more. #Community #Solidarity

Cardiff Transformed Very good to meet the new Leader of the Greens 💚💚 in England, @zackpolanski.bsky.social Good debate, plenty to build on. Key messages: get out & build communities; unity is strength; inclusion / defend minorities under attack; FOR a left social programme; real independence.

“…you can't make much of an alliance out of negatives; the only real basis of alliances is agreement on positive proposals for transcending the negatives.” Raymond Williams, Decentralisation and the Politics of Place, 1984

This looks diddorol iawn - bit hard to read on a phone, rhaid cael cipolwg ar computer go iawn.

Hopeful to see so many influential women standing up to the far right in this open letter that calls out the lies and disinformation linking sexual abuse to immigration - a dangerous narrative & distraction from the real causes of abuse. @leannewood.bsky.social @zarahsultana.bsky.social #vawg

“Will it be the answer to all our ills? Of course not... Keeping more profits for local communities, though, is an objective every well-meaning person can support.” - Ben Wildsmith #Cymunedoli nation.cymru/opinion/cymu...

Llongyfarchiadau/ congratulations @zackpolanski.bsky.social 👏👏👏💚👏👏👏

WOMEN AGAINST THE FAR RIGHT I’m sharing this letter I have co-signed. “There is no evidence that people seeking refuge are more likely to commit acts of sexual violence. Many are themselves survivors of violence, war, and persecution. Blaming them distracts...” www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

The Plaid Cymru team are out in Maesteg town centre, chatting to people about the important political issues of the day. We are opposing the small scale nuclear reactor that is proposed for the valley. If you would like to meet some of our candidates, call by to say hello.

There is power is community. Come & hear what Beth Winter & I found, after hosting three community assemblies in the #valleys Report launch - Weds 3rd Sept, 6 - 8, @ClwbYBont in Pontypridd #Cymunedoli #CommunityWealthBuilding #AlternativesToCapitalism #RealIndependence

@ynnicymunedol.bsky.social Diolch Peter. I’m inspired by community energy too. 😊

This is a really great listen - but especially the second half of it where @leannewood.bsky.social talks about ways of tackling the rise of the far right by bringing communities together to work towards projects that improve their lives. It's the most positive political discussion I've seen in ages

I had a good laugh doing this. 🤣

A Valleys’ Story Report launch on Wednesday 3rdSeptember between 6 – 8pm at Clwb y Bont in Pontypridd. Lansiad yr Adroddiad Stori o’r Cymoedd - dydd Mercher 3ydd Medi rhwng 6 – 8yh yng Nghlwb y Bont ym Mhontypridd.

Just finished reading this. Deeply concerning to consider where free ports and more free market solutions could take us. It’s also good to know that there are people all over the world in movements that want to deepen democracy and control the worst excesses of capitalism. I stand with them.

Great to have two government ministers with us from two different governments at the Community Energy Wales conference in the Centre for Alternative Technology, discussing how community energy can help to address questions many people have about green energy.

“Local power, owned and run by communities, can be the key to solving Wales’ future energy needs, says the Future Generations Commissioner.” futuregenerations.wales/news/make-ou...

This article explains why it is correct and necessary to label the far-right as the far-right. bylinetimes.com/2025/05/12/p...

Great piece by @leannewood.bsky.social & Beth Winters for @nation.cymru "Problems in some of our communities are deep, but we are of the view that most of the causes are economic at base." Could Wales create a 'parliament of communities’ where 100's of community groups join to form a power bloc

Small independent and minority party politicians sometimes manage to use their elected positions as a platform for activism, and this can be powerful. Other than that, the rest are owned. The system ensures that only the bought, the bribed and the sponsored can rise to the top

“There’s only one real politics, and that’s politics on a weekly wage. All the rest, well. We can all talk.” Raymond Williams, Border Country.

Remember when the barbarous austerity imposed by the Tories in 2010 triggered a populist-left upsurge that gained massive popular momentum, but we were all declared dirty antisemites and now 15 years later we're getting exactly the same shit from Labour in the middle of a genocide? Yay democracy!

This is a vitally important thread.

“The Innovating Democracy Advisory Group, led by Dr Anwen Elias, was established by the government in response to a recommendation from the Independent Commission on the Constitutional Future of Wales which found that many Welsh citizens feel disconnected from decision-making processes.”

Are you concerned about the far right? Join the protests today. From 11am in Coed Ely and 1pm in Pontypridd. Extremists Voice of Wales are meeting in Coed Ely. More about them here: hopenothate.org.uk/case-files-v... nation.cymru/news/founder... www.facebook.com/share/p/1C1M...

This is an excellent article. Da iawn 👏👏👏

Ms Wood said it was "time to end our dependence", adding there was an "opportunity to build an alternative to the failed economic model that serves the City of London while leaving crumbs for communities in Wales".

Heddiw / today Barry, 1pm.
