Germany claims to be getting ready to fight Russia, however it only plans to boost its military from 182k to 260k troops by 2035. It refuses to crackdown on Russian propagandists, it refuses to give Ukraine long requested Taurus missiles, and will start providing weapons to genocidaire Israel again.

From today’s Russian papers: “Nearly 7,000 transport companies in Russia on the verge of bankruptcy”, “A record one in four companies have overdue loans”, “decline in civilian sectors of industry.” #ReadingRussia

Millionaires group urge Reeves to introduce wealth tax to ‘lift kids of out poverty’. But Govts listen to the City type. 1% have more wealth than 70% of the population. Poorest 20% pay higher proportion of income in taxes than the richest 20%. Can't grow economic by squeezing the bottom 50%.

Corporate funded think-tanks urge govt to cut benefits, pensions, schools meals, public spending; charge for seeing GPs. Oppose taxes on the rich. Support subsidies for auto, steel, film, shipbuilding, oil, gas, biomass, semiconductor, internet and other companies. It is class war.

As we remember Aberfan, we are reminded that Wales’ coalmining communities still live in fear of another disaster. While Reform are calling for the reopening of Wales’ coalmines, they couldn’t even be bothered to show up for this debate on the safety of our coalmining communities.

Nelson's Victory crew included a Brazilian and a Russian, 2 Indians, 2 Swiss, 2 Portuguese, 3 Danes and 3 Norwegian sailors. There were 3 Germans, 4 Italians, 6 Swedes, 7 Dutchmen, 9 West Indians and an African, as well as 21 Americans, 63 Irish, 64 Scots, 441 English.... oh, and 3 French men, too.

A reminder. Only 6.9% of people in Wales were born overseas. Just 2.9% of people in Caerphilly were born overseas. Whereas 38% of medical consultants in Wales were born overseas. Immigrants are not holding our NHS back, they are propping it up.

Tories and Reform want to quit the European Convention on Human Rights. Since 1980, the ECHR court has heard 29 cases of immigrant deportation. UK won 16. No defeats in the last 5 yrs. Quitting ECHR won't fix illegal immigration, will destroy our freedoms and rights. archive.ph/eMg3O

“Jo Stevens puts on her metaphorical feathered hat and, like a colonial governor speaking to a legislative council back in Victorian times, she just says no” Vaughan Roderick’s striking assessment of the attitude of the Secretary of State for Wales towards the Welsh Government

Nathan Gill is no fringe politician. He was the leader of the Reform Party and before that UKIP in Wales. A Brexit Party MEP. A friend and ally of Nigel Farage, who in 2016 called him: "terrific," and "as honest as the day is long." This is a MASSIVE story www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

In the light of his colleague and Reform's Welsh leader admitting to taking bribes from Russia, is Farage going to be asked about his and his Brexit party MEPs' vote in the EU parliament in 2019 against plans to tackle Russian propaganda? www.theguardian.com/world/2019/o...

Young people say rising bills stopping them moving out. Low wages, insecure jobs and high cost of living. High rents and property prices; water and energy bills, council tax and insurance. Little chance of savings. No govt curbs profiteering.

You've got to have heart of stone not to laugh at Boris Johnson 😂. Puts ego 1st to support Brexit => Brexit dunned => 1 million Poles leave => gives out visas to non Euros => revives Farage. Boris killed his own Tory Party and now his own political legacy and career.😂 Loser.

First it was the nationalisation of steel in Scunthorpe, now it’s Yorkshire. But where was the urgency of this Labour UK Government when thousands of jobs were on the line in Port Talbot? Yet another example of Wales being treated unfairly. Our steel communities deserve more.

Eluned Morgan tells the Welsh Labour conference that here party will make the Welsh NHS “fit for the 21st century”. Worth noting that we are over a quarter of the way through that century and her party have been in control for the whole of it.

The damage is done and it is irreversible as long as Labour sticks to its red lines. Predictions of £40bn hit to public finances from Brexit ‘correct’. OBR forecast of a 4 per cent productivity loss from leaving the EU has been largely borne out, says top economist www.thetimes.com/business-mon...

Nigel Farage wants to reopen the coal mines in Wales. While it may be nice to look back at our mining history with rose tinted glasses, the price for extracting the coal that built the modern world is still being paid by the people of Wales.
