New blogpost: One small step back from the precipice (and why Ed Davey had to be kept hidden) peterblack.blogspot.com/2026/05/one-...

#OtD 27 May 1971 800 pupils in a school in east London went on strike and won the reinstatement of a teacher who had been sacked for publishing a book of the children's poetry stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9943...

'Sir Keir insisted Scots would be “baffled” that people in charge of the SNP “say they didn’t know anything about what was going on”.' Is this the same Keir Starmer who claimed he didn't know all the links Peter Mandelson had to Jeffrey Epstein despite it being common knowledge for years?

Maybe, instead of bull-headedly framing it as a children’s issue, governments should hold tech & social media companies for the content they host, and make social media less toxic for *all of us*.

First Brexit, then immigration and now this. What, if anything, does Andy Burnham actually disagree with Keir Starmer about?

In winning so many new MSs, @plaidcymru.bsky.social have lost a number of county and local councillors to the Bay. Is there a central fund where Plaid members and supporters can contribute a bob or two to support the election of Plaid councillors in their place?

Wrth ennill cynifer o ASau newydd, mae @plaidcymru.bsky.social wedi colli nifer o gynghorwyr sir a lleol i'r Bae. A oes cronfa ganolog lle all aelodau a chefnogwyr y Blaid cyfrannu swllt neu ddau i gefnogi ethol cynghorwyr y Blaid yn eu lle?

Stop calling people who are now fluent 'learners'. No other culture does this. Do we call our Ukrainian neighbours who speak English with a Slavic lilt and who sometimes get their tenses mixed up 'learners'. We do not. What have you got to do to stop being regarded as a Welsh 'learner'? Get chaired?

Farage could literally burn puppies, drown kittens and the uk media would turn the other way! However, they'd be calling for imprisonment if any of the Greens/SNP/Plaid 'broke wind' in public!

Oh and obviously we need lots more free, accessible public loos in the first place. That's the bloody toilet discourse we SHOULD be having.

•Russia invaded Ukraine •Gill accepted Russian roubles 💷 •Reform wants to remove Ukranian flag 🇺🇦 Are these connected? www.walesonline.co.uk/news/politic...

Fair enough. I believe that years ago that happened to enable a wife of a certain Sec of State who liked a drink to end the night out of the prying eyes of the media.

UK Labour is learning from Scottish Labour's failures - by replicating them

If anyone still thinks that the Greens shouldn’t stand a candidate in Makerfield, here’s why we absolutely must. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Keep this Yankee Evangelical shit out of the UK for fuck sake. Why the fuck would we want to be more like a country that sees universal healthcare as evil but daily school shootings as necessary for democracy? www.opendemocracy.net/aabortion-re...

Eluned Morgan did the same,equating Plaid to Reform. When you consider what 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿Plaid 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿SNP stand for - the very things that should be Labour core values - and view this *as bad as* Reform racism,division & hatred - can’t take Streeting or any Labour politician who supports this sh** seriously 🤷🏻‍♂️

Ohhhh that's really interesting 🤔 and I'm glad it's back firing on them.... ;)

What does £5million quid get you these days? 20 x houses in Clacton 50 X years of MP's annual salary 125,000 bottles of Farage Gin* 260,000 packets of Bensons 1 X treacherous politician willing to sell the country out *Probably no longer available as company experiencing financial issues.

I hope whoever the next PM is (pray God it's Milliband as least-worst option) does *not* feel the customary obligation to give the unsuccessful candidate a Cabinet post in a show of unity. I want Streeting to be Minister In Charge Of Being In The Stocks Pelted With Rotten Tomatoes.

👇Remember the 'anti-english' ranting from andrew rt davies and the 'welsh' tories when the Senedd did this for Cymru.... Well, perhaps England is now being 'anti-welsh' then 🤔

Are the devolved parliaments/nations in the UK fleeced year on year by the UK government when it spends money on their behalf ?

People, we deserve better than this shite. Even if you are not supportive of Zack Polanski and his party, this has revealed two things. The poor quality of journalism in this country, that is in urgent need of reform and how the establishment want the status quo to remain unchanged

Clearly Dan Thomas and Reform aren't the brightest sparks because there's 500 years of evidence disproving his statement. Westminster has been keeping Wales poor via wealth extraction of resources and assets for 500 years. What was that famous quote about insanity and doing same thing over.......

#wato interviewing Guto Harri about the similarities of the Starmer situation with that of Boris Johnson's demise without mentioning one of the reasons for his demise were the idiots who surrounded and enabled him...

We desperately need to build more bungalows so that older people and those with mobility difficulties can move from unsuitable 3 bed houses to social housing that better meets their needs. We can't keep spending on adapting properties and adding extensions to meet need, makes no sense.

So. I keep reading stuff about Farage’s “victory”. Reform UK proclaimed three aims for these elections. To be the largest party in Cymru; to get 30 seats at Holyrood; and to gain 2000 council seats in England. And it failed on all three. Time for some honest journalism, please.

Bollocks. If you did, you'd start off by looking into donations, including the £5m from the crypto billionaire!

Remember when people kept claiming George Soros was paying Remainers & funding campaigns and how it was wrong for a foreign billionaire to try to influence our democracy? Really weird how quiet they are about a £22mn donation to Reform & £5mn gift for Farage from an overseas billionaire isn’t it.
