Lots of misunderstanding about Wales’s new electoral system — how it works, what it takes to get elected, and especially around tactical voting. Partly to sort my own thinking, I put together something that tries to make sense of it. Proper write-up coming soon. jaclarner.github.io/jaclarner/bl...

Mae £4bn yn ddyledus i Gymru o HS2 yn unig. Bydd Llywodraeth Plaid Cymru wastad yn brwydro dros yr arian mae Cymru'n haeddu. Bydd Reform UK byth yn brwydro dros degwch i Gymru. Pleidleisiwch Blaid Cymru ar 7 Mai am lywodraeth fydd wastad yn sefyll i fyny dros Gymru.

Wales is owed £4bn from HS2 alone. A Plaid Cymru Government will always fight for the money Wales is owed. Reform wouldn’t even bother fighting for fairness for Wales. Vote Plaid Cymru on 7 May for new leadership that always stands up for Wales.

🫵 Bydd eich pleidlais chi'r wythnos nesaf yn penderfynu dyfodol Cymru! Mae'n ras hynod o agos rhwng Plaid Cymru a Reform UK - a bydd pob pleidlais yn gwneud y gwahaniaeth 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🗳️ Pleidleisiwch dros Blaid Cymru - 7 Mai, i atal Reform a sefyll dros Gymru

Deiniol's Ash Farm, a lovely, just-creepy-enough Tudor manor house at Mancot in #Flintshire, was haunted by the forlorn phantom of Rebecca, who died of a broken heart after her boyfriend was packed off on the Grand Tour in the 18th Century by his cruel father. #PhantomsFriday #haunted #folklore

we definitely have a Sylvia borin ~ Telor yr Ardd ~Garden warbler around the place. Merlin thinks it unlikely even while saying it is, but the village 2 odd miles away where it thinks I am is possibly less likely... Sir Benfro Pembrokeshire @rspbcymru.bsky.social

Nice detail of the Pen y Castell Iron Age enclosure near Llangyniew, Powys with a hint of up to 12 large round houses around the edge of the inner enclosure space if you zoom in for a close look. From above it looks remarkably like a prehistoric rock art design🙂 #FridayLiDAR

We asked Reform a very simple question three times. But they refused to answer.

Happy #MayDay #CalanMai. I’m taking a moment to enjoy the Hawthorn (also known as May or Mayblossom), the powerfully symbolic & sacred tree used throughout history to repel evil. Perhaps needed today more than ever.

There’s nothing new about Reform UK. They’re a party full of ex-Tories – and we know they’ve never done Wales any good. Don’t let them take control of Wales – vote Plaid Cymru to stop them.

Reform’s plans to scrap Welsh language targets are reckless. Plaid Cymru has the political ambition to ensure our language thrives.
