BBC News leading all its bulletins on demands by former Government advisor Lord Robertson for more defence spending, without at any point mentioning his current paid senior role for US defence lobbyists

Wes Streeting having the chutzpah to tell the story about the NHS. He doesn't tell the bit about how much he's accepted from private healthcare and the risk our NHS is at under this Labour Government. And most of all, lots of questions about his meetings with Palantir. #BBCQT

The £600,000 tax bill Richard Tice dodged would have funded the salaries of 20 nurses for a year

I had a chat with two political co-conspirators from Wrecsam. With @carrieplaid.bsky.social & @marcvjones.bsky.social youtu.be/8RxMsObwqU8

🚨 NEW POLL: Plaid Cymru in the lead. The next election is now a straight choice for Wales' future - a Welsh party with a positive vision standing up for Wales, or a billionaire-backed party that would take us backwards. Only Plaid Cymru can deliver the new leadership Wales deserves 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

🚨 PÔL NEWYDD: Mae’r momentwm gyda Phlaid Cymru. Mae'r etholiad nesaf yn ddewis am ddyfodol Cymru - plaid Gymreig â gweledigaeth gadarnhaol i sefyll cornel Cymru, neu blaid filiwnyddion fyddai’n mynd â Chymru’n ôl. Dim ond Plaid Cymru all ddod a’r arweinyddiaeth newydd mae Cymru’n ei haeddu 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

The Caerffili by-election is between the vision of @plaidcymruwales and the division of Reform.

Kind of feels like a big deal that a Reform/Brexit Party former MEP has been convicted of taking bribes to promote Russian interests in Ukraine, and it feels like a bigger deal that this isn’t being treated as the major scandal that it clearly is.

Wonder what their Doge advisers will make of this?

Or, just spitballing here, the government could address the genuine issues, such as housing issues, cost of living crisis, and confront disinformation spread about immigration to help better inform people, rather than pandering to xenophobia and exacerbating hostile rhetoric and scapegoating.

Cllr Carrie Harper is confirmed as the top candidate on Plaid Cymru's list for Fflint Wrecsam, with @marcvjones.bsky.social in second and Kayleigh Unitt in third.

😳

The Greens now have nearly 200 more councillors than Reform. This is not something you'd be likely to guess from all the copiously salivating media coverage of Farage & his crew of billionaire-backed far-right chancers.

Remember this one. In five years, or ten, or twenty. When we're a weird, dirty, backward nation that still sets fire to stuff, and places like China and India start to ask us why.

Tice and Reform may need to be introduced to "Nationally Strategic Infrastructure Projects". They're decided by the government, not at a local or mayoral level. Lincolnshire will not have any say. Enjoy.

Western governments only treated their people well between 1945 and 1990 because they feared the USSR.

Socialism is what they called public power.  Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Fraud and abuse. Waste is waiting in the wings

Faridge will soon be blaming vaccines... Totally agree - crackpot statements like this should be ignored or BBC should take the time to fact check before publishing/repeating.

From cutting winter fuel payments for vulnerable pensioners and refusing to scrap the two-child cap to lift children out of poverty, to now cutting £5bn of welfare support for disabled people... Tory-style austerity is here to stay under Labour.

👀 Labour are looking a little worried over there 👀 The people of Wales have lost faith in Labour and they know it. Plaid Cymru is the only party standing up for Wales – offering the fairness and ambition that our communities deserve.

Kevin Morgan pushed this vision 20+ years ago for Wales. Supported him then and now.

Rhaglen anhygoel. Defnyddio £100mil o arian ei hun i helpu pobl mewn trafferth ariannol yn ei gymuned: gwaredu dyled £1m 🤯Herio’r system a chyfoeth y banciau yn uniongyrchol.

Simple choice - which side are you on? @andrewranger-mp.bsky.social

Ahead of the debate today, Plaid Cymru is urging Welsh Labour MPs to put country before party and to support our amendment to the Crown Estate Bill. It's time to stop sending our wealth to London, and ensure that the people of Wales benefit directly from profits generated in our communities 🌊

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

There is going to come a time in the very near future where the only way to resolve this is for every non-MAGA media company to band together and simply refuse to walk into the presser or attend the event. Because he wants the coverage more than anything else. Divided you fall.

If you’re still a @uklabour.bsky.social supporter, you may want to look away now… @plaidcymru.bsky.social offers the change Wales needs

All about money returning value instead of healthcare achieving good outcomes for all of the population

Reform are panicking about people pointing out that they want to replace the NHS. So please don't share this clip of Nigel Farage saying he'd rather healthcare was done through insurance companies.

Share your best examples of effectively mocking authoritarians. It's time we stop feeling "shock and awe" at these bullies and start laughing in their faces. Authoritarians thrive on fear and control, but nothing deflates their power faster than ridicule. 1nadinesmith.substack.com/p/laughter-n...

When is a fine not a fine? When it is levied on England's water companies. Aug 2024: OFWAT announced £168m fine on 3 companies. ZERO Paid. Dec 2024: £18m fine on Thames Water for paying unjustified dividends. ZERO Paid. Regulatory indulgence emboldens companies, encourages more abuses.

Rip-off Gap between what banks charge borrowers and pay savers has increased. Banks make £30bn extra profit. Another £40bn profit a year - Govt pays interest on central bank reserves created through QE to facilitate bank transactions. Shouldn't pay any. Who protects people, public purse?
