Unlike the swastika, the Cross of St George can still be reclaimed. England has the chance to take its flag back permanently from the right wingers and racists — to be as proud of it as the Welsh are of our dragon ✍️ Gwern Gwynfil

I was at this - the reading of names of children killed in Gaza was very powerful They will be reading from 9am until midnight With more than 12500 children killed and more than 50000 killed or injured, they will not be running out of names 😔 We should not be willing to accept this in silence

In any conflict, there are red lines that must never be crossed. In Gaza, those lines are not just being crossed - they are being obliterated✍️ Sarah Rees, Oxfam Cymru wp.me/p8Mk4U-12PQ

Thoughtful piece by James - important conversation for 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 to have More voices needed for an open discussion ‘We go cap-in-hand to Westminster to ask for less than we are owed, as though it is more than we deserve.

Time to applaud lives saved, disruption eased, and a policy that has paid for itself in its first year Or will the enraged speedsters still insist that we should go back to more injuries and deaths? Crashes on 20mph and 30mph roads at 'record low' www.bbc.com/news/article...

‘It’s an Anglocentric framing in which the UK Parliament is default, and all else is deviation’ Good explainer/analysis piece this by ⁦‪Ows Wills‬⁩ - well worth a read nation.cymru/opinion/this...

You can do something for Gaza today, read this… then ask our @welshgovernment.bsky.social why they won’t speak up

First of our questing heroes this week is @mateoy.bsky.social. The Welsh coast prompts questions about how the sea has shaped us through history, mythology, literature and culture - and climate change. With Jon Gower Pirates possible. montylitfest.com/?page_id=7644

‘One problem that Welsh Labour has is that its funding depends…on allocations from UK Labour. Staff salaries are paid by UK Labour from central coffers…That can have an impact on where loyalty lies’ Paymasters call the tune - they won’t stand up for 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 nation.cymru/opinion/elun...

👀 Plaid Cymru majority government and a Green opposition if it was just under-25s voting in the Senedd election. Not a single Reform seat to be seen (they’re polling at 4% in this age group in Wales).

It makes me feel a little glimmer of extra joy that Andrew RT Davies has had a terrible day. The gravy sweating beast will have been crying into his steak bake, as thousands of people walked past having a good time with a collective sense of hope in making Wales better - everything a Tory hates.

In a world where it’s been proven categorically that growing up and speaking two languages side by side has enormous, lifelong, benefits who would actively want to deny children this opportunity? Tories want county's Welsh language plan stopped www.bbc.com/news/article...

It's wonderful to have an education in more than one language, my kids speak English (Mother), Spanish (Father) and have grown up in a Catalan speaking area of Spain, we get to live, hug, argue,cook, laugh, play and basically enjoy life in all 3 languages. Never deny your kids this opportunity.

I was fascinated to learn about Llanilltud Fawr's intellectual heritage while researching Seascape... how it attracted the so-called Celtic Saints from all around Western Europe and highlighted the importance of the Western Sea Routes in spreading learning, education and influence.

Of course it is different than the US system in that primaries will give a ranked list here - so an opportunity is to use primaries to raise awareness of candidates but not be divisive so they all look like a ‘Team’ that appeals to many and maximises turnout.

It’s a strong point - it’ll be interesting to see whether those parties with open primaries gain from increased awareness of candidates or not. And whether any perception of ‘parachuting in’ will hurt those who don’t run primaries.

Diddorol 🤔 There’s also an interesting deeper point here - if all the parties run fair and open internal primaries then the closed list system strengthens democracy Pob lwc ⁦‪@sarahrees500.bsky.social‬⁩ 💪 nation.cymru/opinion/not-...

“A fundamental shift in Welsh politics is incoming. How do we find create a nimble, quick Wales?” @gwerngwynfil.bsky.social at @newwales.bsky.social

Funny you should ask - @newwales.bsky.social are launching this evening to ask just those questions! (But without the imperative to tie those questions to a Westminster led party...)

Mae hyn yn wir! Gorau po fwyaf a gorau po uchel y siarad 💪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

'dywedodd Gwern Gwynfil fod “ar Gymru angen mwy o bobl yn siarad yn adeiladol, hyderus, beiddgar, gydag uchelgais clir ar gyfer dyfodol ein gwlad.” ' Erthygl yn rhoi sylw i'n lansiad gan @golwg.360.cymru - Diolch o galon! 🙏 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 💪
