Plaid Cymru has forged a brand of inclusive nationalism. That's why it beat Reform in Wales | Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Sneaking a giant screen into the flagshagger march is one of the funniest things @ledbydonkeys.org have ever done. "STAY HYDRATED" 😂🤣😂

Change is in the air. So let's all revel in the discomfort our language offers to those who seek to see us diminished, shamed and kept in line. Because those days are finally done, and they ain't seen nothin' yet ✍️ Stephen Price

So pleased at how timely my book is. Cymru is at the crossroads, we need progressive politics more than ever to beat Reform. How Cymru has become a mature democracy and why it needs to continue to grow is the point of my book. Emlyn Hooson, Gwynfor Evans and the like knew what we could be.

Katya Adler and Nick Robinson discuss how incremental progress on UK-EU relations will only have a limited effect on the UK economy. Best for Britain’s report explains how EU Membership would bring the greatest growth to the UK economy, and is what British voters want.

Here are the facts: People have always had and will always have abortions in all 50 states. Abortion pills are safe, effective, and have been used by millions of people. No court or politician can change either of those realities.

And here’s a convicted criminal paying for Farage’s security long after he secretly accepted £5 million from Christopher Harborne supposedly to pay for his security.

Sat on holiday in Cyprus with my partner and son, watched Rhun become First Minister of Wales. Such a great moment and a bit of an emotional one. Four years to show what Plaid can do, can't wait. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👍👍

Just started @mollycrabapple.bsky.social’s remarkable book. So far: amazing.

Going through the Vale of Glamorgan today and saw these Welsh Tory signs. If you're driving by all you will see is 'Scrap the Senedd' and 'Welsh Conservatives.' Nothing like subliminal messaging from the Tories in A.R.T.D's patch.

Not to excuse this, & it’s a while since I presented anything on the BBC, but I do recall noting an almost subconscious desire to disprove bogus allegations of bias by being particularly tough on Labour & Lib Dems (Ed Davey once complained!) This is another victory for right wing media gaslighting.

Now this is indispensible journalism www.theguardian.com/thefilter/20...

With change in the air, and Hen Wlad fy Nhadau ringing out from the steps of the Senedd, there's no better time to learn Wales' beautiful national anthem - and it's been made even easier thanks to a free online course from SaySomethingInWelsh

Shocker.

Good grief.

No one is buying the FCC's pretext for going after Disney. It is a sham investigation meant to chill speech and punish independent media. Disney must continue to fight back. Because if they do, they will win. www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/...

On 7 May, the people of Wales will go to the ballot box to elect 96 Senedd Members. But what they can actually change depends on which powers are devolved, and which remain controlled by the UK Parliament ✍️ Ella Groves, ICNN Senedd Reporter

Trump putting the world on notice that after last week’s Supreme Court decision, he is going to dispute and litigate the outcome of November’s midterms wherever Republicans lose. Much more on this in my “American Week” here: audioboom.com/posts/889810...

Vote Reform. Or we will house *dangerous migrant centres* in your village. And if you vote Green, it will be even worse for you. It's beyond disturbing. The chill wind of threat, thuggery and menace of a kind never before seen in Britain.

Lots of great feedback on this political book and ideas series we’re occasionally doing on Fridays! If there are any political authors/writers (and their books) you’d like us to have on let me know.
