This image is so crazy. This is the image you should show anyone who blames the ills of the countryside on ordinary people trying to access nature. Time to call out the bullshit!

AI slop poster for the Your Party Durham launch. Everything they do is just so comically shit. Hopeless.

You can go out into the Highveld and wrestle all the Lions you want. You can lift 100kg bags of cattle feed in the south of France. You can run through all the freely glens. You've not seen true psychopathy until you've played against someone who willingly sits on a roof in West Wales in December

This man was, until very recently, the environment secretary. Cash to trash. Awful.

Oh no! Who can we now rely on lie to the public to protect the police against accountability for wrongdoing that led to the death of two children?

My tepid take is that the challenges in the Traitors need to be much, much harder. 😴

Because of course, the triple lock is a Lib-Con coalition policy. One of the worst policies of all time!

So refreshing to see a politician be able to give correct answers to questions.

How does a policy whose main effect would seem to be making working people reduce their pension contributions, make sense alongside a triple lock that relies on those contributions to fund it? Stupid stupid.

The man of the moment. He clearly thinks extremely highly of @greenparty.org.uk candidate @tessamarsh.bsky.social, paying generous tribute. And you can see why, she just delivered a blistering speech to the Wales Green party conference. A big political talent.

@greenparty.org.uk Wales conference, I am in you. 🟩

😑😑😑😑😑😑 Next May I'm voting for whoever promises to fix this

Yes and yet several European countries are embracing a far-right worldview that would burn these policies to the ground, so let’s be not be smug or complacent here - particularly as Mamdani‘s pro-immigration stance is radical by European standards.

Excited to be heading over to Abertawe next week for the @wellbeingeconomy.cymru festival, where I'll be banging the drum about access reform, community right to buy, and other things. If you're in the area, come say hello! wellbeingeconomy.wales

Incredibly disappointing stuff from @timfarron.bsky.social , who seems to be capable of summoning massive anachronisms out of nowhere, to damage his own credibility and brand. Where is the evidence Tim?

New toy. What have I done.

ah, perhaps instead of pumping millions into endless factional infighting Dem donors could invest in making local Dem organizations genuine civic spaces that can reach people during and between elections

Today's Labour Party would never have selected Zohran Mamdani. If by some minor miracle the local party pushed him through, he would have been booted out of the party based on his support for Palestine and some tweets from 2017. Save your congratulations, Wes.

RIP Dick Cheney. You would have hated seeing a socialist win a landslide victory in the biggest and richest city in the USA. 🤑

Catching up on this piece by @ebenmyrddin.bsky.social challenging @plaidcymru.bsky.social on their environmental 'blind spot'. If Plaid want to retain their #caerphilly coalition for 2026, they will need to explain how they will restore Wales' wildlife nation.cymru/opinion/the-...

Except Zohran Mamdani has never said anything about Israel being an officially Jewish state. What he's repeated ad nauseum is that he supports a state with equal rights, which is what reasonable people should be for, everywhere. Imagine if he was being asked about a Boer state in South Africa?

Is this "Welsh media" in the room with us, Mr Reform?

Your Party is thinking of standing candidates in the Senedd Election, and are suing Beth Winter. Can they just, not? 🫩

Offering nine new river walks as an answer to our crisis of disconnection is an utter embarrassment. Every river for everyone!

I'm told that during a meeting yesterday with the Deputy First Minister, when access came up, an FUW representative typed in the chat: "please think of farmers and landowners when talking about access". That seems like a fair point, and it is. But do things work the other way around? 🤔 Thread /🧵

Right to Roam campaigners call for access to all England’s rivers Our local groups are organising 9 river trespasses in November to highlight how inadequate & unworkable the government’s pledge of a mere 9 river walks is: www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

In other words: "Reform is a massive threat to the Union"?

Had a strange morning, getting plans wrong and ending up in the valleys with no plans. Decided to go hunting for Wales' 2019 tree of the year in Pontypool. What a special living thing!

Interesting article that touches on a point that has always irked me; the entitled view of some Plaid supporters that Greens should stand aside on the assumption we’ll all vote Plaid. There are key differences between both parties; I used to be a Plaid councillor and joined the Greens in early ‘24.

Plaid Cymru has no God-given right to the votes of people who care about nature. To deserve them they must reject the idea that to look out for farmers is to gut regulation and ignore Wales’ environment, because that is a lie ✍️ Eben Myrddin Muse

The most powerful thing I've seen a politician say or do in a long time.

Scarlets and Ospreys fighting like rats in a sack 🫤 Well done WRU

Old school Welsh political Twitter would have loved all of this, RIP to a real one

Do you think the person in Welsh Labour who decided to run this add feels any contrition? 11% they polled at. If they poll nationally like that in May they could get zero seats. Zero.

So let me get this straight. They're cutting down to three, but also keeping four, but it might not be the same four, or three. There had been plans to axe one of the Welsh teams to be replaced by a yank side of whipping boys, which was mercifully vetoed by the South Africans. Welsh Rugby!

One of the real lessons is that the countries John Rentoul describes as "regions" don't like being treated as such. Will these types ever learn?

Was Llyr Powell's eye-roll the defining moment of the by-election? I'm inclined to think it was. When I met Llŷr I thought he was fairly personable, charismatic, and had a fair chance of winning. That moment at the debate was a careless facial slip, but it betrayed a sense of entitlement.

Former strongholds

On yesterday's godawful Welsh Labour election graphics, I only just clocked that this policy wasn't even a Labour one, it was a Lib Dem one tacked on as part of a budget deal done in the spring! Talk about scraping the barrel.

God loves a trier. Congratulations Lindsay Whittle.

Can't wait to get my hands on a copy of this, which is sure to be an incredible bit of writing by @nicolawriting.bsky.social

I genuinely think that only this energy, this vision, this ferocity this level of savvy, can seriously challenge the rise of the far right in Britain over the next few years. I desperately hope that we learn from Mamdani's success in the US as a model for progressive electoral success here.
