My book, 'Emlyn Hooson and the Welsh Liberal Party 1962-1979', has been included in UWP's 'Senedd election' reading list. For those who want to know more about Welsh politics, go grab a copy of each of these wonderful books on Welsh politics. uwp.co.uk/welsh-politics…

A Plaid Cymru MS has accused Reform UK of being “out of touch” after the party backed calls for the Ukrainian flag to be removed from outside the Welsh Parliament nation.cymru/news/ms-hits-o…

Join the Euro for a stable economy? It’s a no brainer. Yes.

@SeneddWaste Your contempt for Cymru, the Senedd and Devolution knows no bounds. You and ARTD must have the same social media manager.

No other Welsh council leader gets an official home. Welsh taxpayers should not fork out for Rhun ap Iorwerth to have one either.

@AndrewRTDavies Leader of our government not a council leader. Just goes to show your contempt for devolution, the Senedd and Cymru. All three of which you'd happily do away with.

The public will be horrified by talk of a grace and favour residence for the First Minister. It’s an unjustifiable extravagance we do not need. Comparisons with the Prime Minister’s official residence are a false flag. The head of the British Government is not comparable to a leader in a devolved administration. Most public officials like council leaders don’t get an official residence. The same should apply to Rhun Ap Iorwerth.

Scotland has Bute House. England has 10 Downing Street. France has the Elysée Palace. Why not Wales?

A blue plaque is to be unveiled to commemorate a defining confrontation which helped halt the spread of fascism in Wales in the 1930s wp.me/p8Mk4U-1lMO

Our natural resources. Our wealth. Our future. Wales' natural resources should be controlled here in Wales - not in Westminster. This Plaid Cymru government will stand up for Wales and demand control over the Crown Estate and the tools to invest in our communities. 🫡

2/2 unlike other sites, it doesn't treat Wales like another region of England. It doesn't lead with cat stuck in a tree stories but the stuff that matters. Political news & commentary is front and centre, as it is in national papers for WM. Superb site!

1/2 @WildsmithBen is always among my go-to commentators on @NationCymru, the site has a superb roster of journalists, @ShiptonMartin and @EPriceJourno among them. I urge everyone to read this essential site for Welsh news. Wales Must Define Itself nation.cymru/opinion/wales-…

“Does dim problem yng Nghymru na all Cymru ei datrys.” Mae gan Gymru’r dalent, yr adnoddau a’r uchelgais i lwyddo. Mae gan lywodraeth newydd Plaid Cymru gynllun i gau’r bwlch ffyniant, cryfhau cysylltedd a chefnogi busnesau Cymru i dyfu.

When you pay so little attention to Welsh politics & you are so keen to get a petty, tribal dig in, you can end up with egg on your face. If this is a sign of government relations to come, Labour can justifiably expect further drubbings in the polls.

When you became a Councillor just by convincing the gullible that everything is the fault of immigrants. Then you find out that you need to actually do something other than put up flags, sing the national anthem and say the Lord’s Prayer.

Eluned Morgan held the same roles. You stayed silent. Mark Drakeford held the same roles. You stayed silent. Carwyn Jones held the same roles. You stayed silent. Suddenly @RhunapIorwerth holding those roles leads to outrage? Just shows how little Labour understands Wales.

Ever wonder why Wales' railways are so bad? Many people don't realise how much Wales has been screwed over when it comes to rail funding. Decisions to class projects like HS2 (that are only in England) as "England and Wales" robs us of billions. It also shows why NOT devolving certain areas allows successive UK Governments to underfund us compared to Scotland and Northern Ireland. It's complicated but people need to understand how the system fails Wales in order to demand change for the better.

LAUGHABLE front page from The Express… A newspaper that backs Reform whose leader and MPs voted against laws on: Stalking Harassment Drink spiking Upskirting …and sharing intimate images without consent. A pathetic excuse of a newspaper.

The public reputation of Elizabeth Windsor was rooted in ignorance, myths and deference. It will deservedly fall the more we learn about the late Queen. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

@ChazzerEvans It's ok, as Reform have complained we'll go back to using chalk and boards for every decision. All calculations need to be via an abacus. That should keep costs down & take us back to the 'Golden Era' of the 1950s. None of that secure tech stuff. Reform the new Luddites.

The new Senedd budget has shot past £100m and they've immediately prioritized buying £5,000 tech packages for themselves. Tell me again how this expansion was meant to "benefit the people of Wales"? 🤔 #Wales

@LlyrPowell You know that governments can focus on more than one thing right? Plus, independence isn't being pursued in this term but they will start the conversation. Or do Reform still not like the public being informed before they make a democratic decision. *Cough*BREXIT*Cough*

They said independence wasn’t on the ballot paper. First week in office, he’s on the phone to Starmer talking about independence. Meanwhile NHS waiting lists soar, schools struggle and families are hammered by the cost of living.
