Saisplaining: Let Welsh people speak Heartbreaking from @nation.cymru's Stephen Price nation.cymru/opinion/sais... As I travel Cymru, his account of the suffocation of our communities accords with what my experience "Extractive economics defines Wales’ makeup at every level." It breaks my heart!

Noting the predicted difference between Senedd & Westminster voting intentions, 2 save the UK from Reform, Starmer has a choice Hope that tactical voting is effective in producing a progressive majority Put in place a PR system allowing 4 a progressive majority Doing nothing hands Farage victory!

Certainly a step in the right direction! Yes the Crown Estate should be devolved but actually why should the monarchy receive any income from resources deriving from Wales's land, coastal areas and seabed?

Increased coverage of Reform UK by Britain’s broadcast media appears to have fuelled the public’s rising preoccupation with the issues of immigration and asylum, according to research carried out in Wales ✍️ Martin Shipton

"The significance of @plaidcymru.bsky.social’s limited coverage is exacerbated by the fact that in Wales UK-wide broadcast news is more widely consumed than Wales-only news, meaning many people who regularly watch network news will not learn about one of Wales’ major parties." I'r gad!

"We then received a message from another Labour source suggesting Mr Gething had asked Baroness Morgan to give him a leading role in the December 1 investment summit. According to the source, Mr Gething had said he would resign from the Senedd if his wish was not granted." Sounds a real charmer!!

Some Labour MSs have questioned why former First Minister Vaughan Gething was given pride of place at an investment summit when they were told they couldn’t attend it ✍️Martin Shipton

Go on. It’s the biggest geopolitical pivot of the past 100+ years. It’s an existential moment of crisis for a set of political values that we hold to be the foundation of decent society. Would it kill you to show that you have noticed; to say, I dunno, *something*?

I can’t help thinking that when, in future, people ask what UK political leaders said as it became undeniable that US saw European liberal democracy as its no1 strategic foe, Starmer and others will regret that the answer is “not much, shuffled awkwardly, looked at their feet”.

Hello @quietriotpod.bsky.social @pimlicat.bsky.social Last Sunday you mentioned voting ages -and I think the possibility of trialling - can I remind you that at the next Senedd election 16 year olds will be able to vote senedd.wales/how-we-work/... allowing a lot of data/information to be gleaned

Keir Starmer must really hate Welsh Labour! He must want Labour to be slaughtered at May's Senedd elections. What other rational explanation is there?

Keir Starmer's planning to make former First Minister Vaughan Gething a Lord according to The Times. Mr Gething was FM for 4 months. His time as leader was overshadowed by a controversial £200k donation to his leadership campaign. He stepped down after 4 ministers resigned.

Dear @willhaycardiff.bsky.social we have all just seen details of Christopher Harborne's donation to Reform of £9 million. I am aware that there is a spending limit of £52,000 for 1 Senedd candidate increasing by £3,500 per candidate to a limit of £70,000 for 6 candidates per constituency. 1/2

NEW BLOGPOST Abolishing trial by jury: why is the government overlooking the obvious? thesecretbarrister.com/2025/12/02/a...

Listening to David Lammy on @BBCr4today attempting to justify abolishing trial by jury, it is increasingly and terrifyingly clear that he simply does not understand the issues.

Saving juries by abolishing juries. The absolute state of this.

As set out in this thread, the causes of the court backlog are chronic lack of funding and absurd inefficiency. The government has made no proposals to address either. Their answer is to remove juries. Rather than fix the leaking roof, their solution is to burn the house down.

One of my abiding impressions of Brexit is the way it slammed doors of opportunity in the faces of young people several rungs below Boris Johnson’s countless children on the ladders of privilege & advantage.

Brexit was exactly that. A petulant door-slamming. A rejection of cooperation, protection and opportunity for all of us because the wealthy rightwing elites didn’t want to play by shared rules. And knew they could exploit ignorance/prejudice to achieve that.

"The process is known as “investor-state dispute settlement” (ISDS). The reason it is allowed to override domestic law and the decisions made by parliaments is that this provision has been written – without public consent, and often in conditions of extreme secrecy – into trade treaties" #WTAF

There are some people who seem to see the recovery of ecosystems in a deforested waste as a personal affront. It's about power, and different landscapes reflect the different ways in which power is distributed - or concentrated. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Dear @annamcmorrin.bsky.social could you please share this thread from @barristersecret.bsky.social with David Lammy. Severely restricting the availability of jury trials will make no difference to any of these reasons which can be corroborated by criminal barristers & solicitors across the land!
