Rachel Reeves says this Labour Governments decisions are "necessary." Why is it always necessary to hit the living standards of the 99%? When are we going to make the necessary decisions about extreme wealth?

Can you imagine how Reform UK would react if a Welsh leader of any other party had been sentenced for 10 years for taking bribes? Nathan Gill once said he "would never apologise for being patriotic". Tbf he never said to which country...

Scotland supplies 50% of all the UK renewable energy and 33% of all UK Food and Drink Exports. It's 2025. Scotland, very unquestionably, isn't #bettertogether. There's no rational argument, against Scottish Independence. Scotland is BOOMING.
