@Sioned_W Especially women who dont want to share their private space with a bloke in a dress

It's an honour to be asked to serve as Deputy First Minister of Wales and Cabinet Minister for Social Justice and Equality. I look forward to taking on the important challenges of this portfolio and delivering fairness for everyone in Wales.

I'm Welsh but I could never vote for a nationalist party like Plaid. The racism from their voters towards the English is off the charts and they accuse Reform of being divisive!! 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 #wales

Up the Villa! Absolutely battered them. Loved it #avfc

A minimum wage of £15 would end my coffee shop, it would have to close, as would many other businesses. I’ll explain for the economically illiterate. Staff costs are currently half our costs, a £15 minimum wage is actually more than £15 an hour for the company, because you have to add: - 12.07% holiday - Sick pay - Maternity pay if and when required - National insurance - Pension contributions These costs would mean the shop loses money because remember, energy costs are up, rates are up, regulations are up. Now you can pass these costs onto the consumer - that would mean charging a lot more for coffee, people won’t pay it. The likes of Starbucks and Costa can, because they have economies of scale. The independent doesn’t. Now the little socialist will say well this is your fault, if you can’t run a business that can afford to pay its staff properly, but the little socialist has never run a business and does not understand the dynamics. Now I could pay some staff off and fill those hours myself or reduce us to one staff member during certain periods - but this proves the point that a minimum wage costs jobs. There was a time when these jobs were done by kids, perhaps on the weekend, paid a lower wage, no holiday and no silly employment rights. Perhaps they were even paid cash. The dynamic worked and small businesses like this could operate. It was also a great first job. Sadly now it isn’t worth employing entitlement youngsters at this level of pay. So alas, I don’t need the stress, the business would close, a number of jobs would be lost. Economics is about understanding these dynamics, no vibes. The cost of living is not solved through passing on inflation to the business, it is solved by ending high inflation and creating prosperity. This is what socialists don’t understand, they can’t create prosperity, they can only destroy it.

@Pibydd @Plaid_Cymru Some of us are British as well as Welsh so the usual anti Engish rhetoric doesn't work butty.

If you support our national Welsh teams 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿, why would you ever consider voting for a British Nationalist party - Reform UK? 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Support Wales/Cymru, vote for Wales/Cymru, vote @Plaid_Cymru the Party of Wales! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿💪 on May 7th

@yescymruruthin Usual anti English rhetoric from the Nationalists 🥱

PLEDGE YOUR VOTE TO 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 WALES... NOT TO A 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 LONDON BASED PARTY.

@AgitChevis They may not win but a hell of a lot of people in Wales will still vote for them. They offer more than the looney left that's for sure

I’ve lent my vote to Labour in the past to keep the Tories out, because I believe in Wales and our democracy. Now it would be good to see some Labour voters lend their vote to Plaid Cymru to stop Reform. Wales deserves a future shaped by those who truly stand for it. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Easy this Europa League lark #avfc

Done. This madness has to stop. Sack Miliband

Sickening. They should be locked up.

How many more kids need to die as a result of someone carrying a knife. Something needs to change and quick. Mandatory jail for 1st time offenders would help #knifecrimeuk

How many times does Rodgers give the ball away. Drives me mad #avfc

Try and keep the ball Villa. It does help! #avfc

@Ed_Miliband @neso You ignore opposition from the local council and residents and desecrate our countryside at the altar of Net Zero. Madness

1. Gas security remains a real and immediate threat to the UK economy. The current conflict in the Persian Gulf, a recent cyclone in North Western Australia, and this summer's scheduled maintenance of Norway’s pipelines and processing facilities will restrict supply and push gas prices higher. Increasing the UK’s trade deficit unless UK production is increased. gbbc.uk/uk-deindustria…

🗣️ 'Why on earth would you not support your own industries?' Chief Executive of Offshore Energies UK, David Whitehouse, talks to @AnnaJonesSky & @WilfredFrost about the North Sea and says it can produce at least half of our demand for the next 25 years.

This oil crisis has exposed the lunacy of Net Zero policies over the last 10 years. Madness #netzero #climatescam
