I hate how many AI videos are on here. I hate even more the fact that Bluesky seems to be hiding the replies of those pointing it out. Looks like the word "fake" gets a comment hidden

Will Burnham get rid of first past the post? Because that's the only way Labour are keeping Reform out. Anyone know his views on electoral reform?

My write-up on the Welsh election results, in case you missed it: novaramedia.com/2026/05/11/w...

Notable that top of the rankings is Spain, whose government also happens to be the most overtly critical of Israel's genocidal behaviour and supportive of Palestinian rights. Universal human rights means just that.

This government has participated in genocide. Here is a simple test for any would-be successor to Keir Starmer: Would you establish a full, independent, public inquiry into the government’s complicity in the greatest crime of our time?

Well worth a read. A strategic overhaul of how government uses technology to aid delivery and make services easier to access are a no brainer. Be brave, be bold and take risks.

Nothing could ever make me want Starmer as PM, but when the alternatives are Streeting or Farage, I think I'd become a die-hard indepence supporter if I wasn't already.

A good point on Labour's lose-lose situation: "If a Labour government refuses Plaid’s demands, it will only feed the narrative that it doesn’t care about Wales. If it gives in to Plaid’s demands, it will hand ap Iorwerth a massive win it was unwilling to give to its own Labour colleague, Morgan."

Is there an official campaign for electoral reform in Westminster to stop Reform? The Senedd results could help persuade English voters, despite claims Nick Clegg's arrogance took it off the table for a generation. There's no way Labour will do the right thing without serious pressure

A please @labouruk.bsky.social, stop saying that it's up to us to stop Reform. YOU could stop a Reform government in 2029, by introducing the proportional representation so many in the country have been clamouring for. The only way Farage can win is through our crazy first-past-the-post system.

The media forensically dissects the pasts of people who challenge the status quo, such as Polanski and Corbyn. Fair enough, up to a point: we should know about our representatives. But it's far less inquisitive about those who defend power, however great their misdeeds, such as Nigel Farage.🧵

The first question we should ask ourselves in these and all other elections is: Which candidates oppose the inordinate power of the ultra-rich, and which ones accept or encourage it?

The funny thing about Hannah Spencer is that she’s literally exactly what everyone pretends they want from politicians in political media: a working class woman who has broken into politics from a normal job, speaking her mind from genuine lived experience. And they fucking hate her for it lol

Still can’t fully comprehend how Jac Morgan did this. To smash three competing players off the same ball… while staying on his feet and through the gate… twice! In one ruck! The combination of power, technique and awareness to do that… absolutely S-tier stuff.

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet. This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

This ought to be essential viewing! 📺 @squidgerugby.bsky.social raises very important points about Welsh identity, and the wider cultural meaning of decline and neglect. As a proud Welshman, I always love seeing Wales performing on an international level, so this really hit me #Wales #Welsh #Rugby

This is a fantastic video that really is about the state of the world generally rather than just Welsh rugby.

Get his ass

undod.cymru/en/2026/04/1... As brilliant as it is depressing, this is an essential read for anyone interested in Welsh politics and the future of Wales.

My final pre-election essay for Undod. A cheery reminder that, whatever the result, people shouldn’t get too ahead of themselves, because the worst is yet to come. undod.cymru/en/2026/04/1...

Here’s the second part of my pre-election analysis for Undod, on ‘Understanding the Rise of Reform in Wales’: undod.cymru/en/2026/04/0...

Here’s the first in a series of articles I’ve written for Undod.cymru, previewing the upcoming Senedd election: undod.cymru/2026/04/05/c...

7 hours of silence from the Prime Minister. The US is using UK bases. The President is openly talking about destroying a civilisation. And Downing Street says... nothing. If you won’t speak up now, when will you?

Greta Thunberg: “The President of the United States just said that a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again & no one is reacting. This speaks for itself: what the fuck is anyone even doing at this point? We have normalized total annihilation of entire people.”

Like… We cannot go ahead and have the World Cup now like nothing is going on. Regardless of what does or doesn’t happen tonight. Countries should simply refuse to send teams. The rest of the world cannot treat us as a remotely normal country after this

It's now been 3 hours since our supposed "ally" Donald Trump threatened genocide on a country of 93 million people. We've had absolutely nothing from the UK government. This doesn't come in a vacuum either - every day the US & Israel have been murdering innocent people.

STICK IT IN MY VEEEEIIIINS

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

All this talk of who should go on the currency and in an Independent Tropical Wales it should clearly be Ray Gravell.

A very long and important THREAD - The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974. And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself. Not drugs. Not terrorism. Not "democracy." 1/

Dear Shabana, Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

The UK's permission for the US to use its bases in attacking Iran amounts to complicity in the crime of aggression. It drags us into what could be an endless war, without democratic or even parliamentary consent.

Six years ago, his principles were entirely different.

Israel has been continuously bombing Lebanon almost every day for over a year. Anyone who tells you “Hezbollah broke the ceasefire” is either lying to you, or is just so incredibly biased that their brain genuinely doesn’t register Israeli bombings of Lebanon as ceasefire violations.

anyone familiar with British politics will know that any news that isn't entirely negative will be closely followed by a sustained bombardment of misery that will make you want to fucking die. but currently it's Friday, it's payday, and the fascists have lost

A new study finds Israel’s assault on the Gaza Strip killed far more Palestinians than initially reported. Writing in The Lancet medical journal, researchers found there were over 75,000 violent deaths in the first 16 months of Israel’s assault.

The emotional guy from this video is my hero. "It's not a business, it's a union! And there's no union in the @welshrugbyunion.bsky.social" Genuinely moving segment.

"It's not a business, it's a union, and right now there's no union in Welsh rugby."

So, Welsh rugby success is back to making England feel they can easily take on a side that can't beat Italy If sport is the new opium of the masses, distracting from injustice etc, maybe we should focus on building a better Wales now? Because this can't be helping anyone forget their problems...

Reform UK threaten Welsh jobs and Welsh education! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿📚

£240m. With no tender. Palantir. I wrote to Wes Streeting last week demanding answers. Every day without any transparency deepens the scandal. Palantir out.

Theory: Labour are actually bigger separatists than I am and are positively driving forward the end of the UK and if so, damn it I'm here for it.

It's pretty basic stuff but damn it's nice to see mainstream parties talking like this again - and to be referring to the greens as mainstream. Leanne Wood got me paying attention to party politics, Corbyn did it too - we need voices who can make people believe in an alternative

not to state the obvious but he and his team are so incredibly good at this — and all they’re doing is actually putting forward a positive vision while acknowledging what’s currently going wrong

Well, I think I speak for literally every person in Wales not currently a board member when I say: Fuck the WRU.
