🚨 The so-called 'partnership in power' between the Welsh and UK Labour Governments is a sham! 🚨 Today’s budget proves that #Labour does not match #PlaidCymru’s ambition for #Wales ❌ Wales deserves better – and Plaid Cymru is ready to deliver 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

In this week's column, I explore what I see as a very real prospect of systemic collapse, caused by Trump's actions, and suggest we start preparing. I try to explain how complex systems fail, and suggest some of the failure paths we could be on. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

@enalloyd.bsky.social can I send you a DM, Ena? Needs enabling your side.

Who do we want in control of our energy? We say - the people! Nothing about future energy policy is guaranteed. Today, Reform shared their plans to dismantle green energy. 🧵

Pwy ydyn ni eisiau'n rheoli ein hynni? Ein galwad ni: Y BOBL! Gall polisi ynni newid ar unrhyw adeg. Heddiw, fe wnaeth Reform gyhoeddi eu cynlluniau i ddinistrio ynni gwyrdd. 🧵

It's difficult to say with hand on heart that Wales has ever been great. Perennial under achiever, runt of the UK litter, sending stuff over the border and all over the world with little return. It's time we made Wales great, stood on our own 2 feet and build a better future for all our citizens.

A former council leader has been criticised after it emerged that he used a publicly funded Mayor’s car to travel to two Welsh Labour events commemorating the party’s 100 years as the biggest political force in Wales ✍️Martin Shipton

Residents of Swansea West must be so proud. Local boy made good, and all that.

Horrendous that Welsh Refugee Council staff have been smeared and endangered by this deliberate, shameful spreading of misinformation. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Great from @robinmcalpine.bsky.social via @commonweal.bsky.social I'd 're-ask' some of his 're-asks' again, notably that economic growth is needed to fund services. But park that, for now What is true; the key to change IS to ask different, better questions commonweal.scot/change-the-s...

Italy is a world leader in social cooperatives that care for the disabled and elderly. It's people-centered and locally owned. It really should be adopted as a standard model. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_...

Wales needs more co-operatives. An economy that works for more than just the few depends entirely on ownership. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Yup

Imagine the impact of Musk in Wales - he'd expect those he funded into office to do as he says. He will own Reform's policy agenda. Whatever Reform say about the Welsh NHS doesn't matter; Musk isn't a fan & will defund & privatise it. Without doubt. www.bbc.com/news/article...
