This should go viral. Priti Patal should be out of a job. The grief they have given about Mandelson and all of the time they were responsible for this decision. THAT is UNFORGIVEABLE

Hi David, I methodically broke down the issues with Plaid's offer here: willhaywardwales.substack.com/p/inside-the-p… My journalism was also instrumental in the resignation of Plaid's last leader. Last week I broke down the problems with Labour's offer on hospitals: willhaywardwales.substack.com/p/have-they-th… Just 10 days ago I went to the Welsh Tory manifesto launch to question them about unfunded elements of their manifesto (which was oddly similar to yours): willhaywardwales.substack.com/p/wales-watchi… I assess all of these parties and am critical of their shortcomings. Despite this they all grant me access to their events because they understand that freedom of the press is vital to a democracy. Your party however does not. You don't dare be interviewed and won't take questions from me. When I did attend your conference in 2024 I was told that if I asked Mr Farage tough questions I wouldn't be granted an interview next time. Hardly a group who cares about free speech and debate I would suggest. I didn't think a bunch of proud patriots would be so cowardly when it comes to taking basic questions. If you change your mind and decide you (or any of your colleagues) want to do an interview about Wales, let me know.

@20NPHartleyHare @Jordon3Jane Perhaps the decisions were based on the evidence presented? “between 2017 and 2024, over 4,000 dogs died or were put to sleep as a result of being used by the racing industry, and over 35,000 injuries were recorded by industry officials”

Two-tier petitions in Wales? Senedd bans greyhound racing on petition of 35,101 sigs (only 53.3% Welsh) → enacted. Rescind 20mph: 469,571 sigs (94% Welsh, 21% of electorate) – largest in Welsh history → ignored. DEMOCRATIC FAILURE! #WalesPolitics #TwoTierPetitions #Senedd26

@WelshConserv @DarrenMillarMS @PeterFox61 If you had a better record at a UK level you’d have a better chance of being believed

After 27 years in power, Labour and Plaid have left our hospitals falling apart through their political choices. They had the opportunity to fix the crumbling hospital estate but chose to spend that money elsewhere. @PeterFox61 asks why they have waited until it’s on its knees?

@Feargal_Sharkey @DwrCymru @CanalRiverTrust 🤔

Sir James Bevan spent 8 years at the Environment Agency and oversaw the decimation not only of the agency but every river in the country. He's recently reappeared again on the boards of Welsh Water and the Canal and Rivers Trust. The man is not fit to handle this week's shopping list never mind run an organisation especially a water company.

Dubai emigrants returning to UK want relief from UK tax if they exceed 183 days bit.ly/4sOom0m so they don’t want to pay towards the safety the UK gives them! If they really lived in Dubai it wouldn’t be an issue it’s because they spend months in UK that it arises.

Last year water companies sewage works illegally dumped sewage on 15,000 dry-days. Yep that's right, there was no rain, no snowmelt, nothing, no reason whatsoever why WCs should be dumping sewage. But where are the investigations, the prosecutions, the water industry fact cats going to jail? Yea, you already know the answer. thetimes.com/uk/environment…

@WelshConserv @PeterFox61 How much will the local referenda cost? (@Conservatives reduced local authority funding by over 40% between 2010 and 2024)

The Welsh Conservatives will cap council tax increases at 5% and require local referendums for larger rises.

Barry Gardiner MP calls out Environment Secretary Emma Reynolds over her department's lack of research into the cost of publicly owned water. IT'S NOT ADDING UP. The government are telling us public ownership is too expensive, yet they haven't even worked out how much it would be ⁉️ Public ownership is so much more affordable than a privatised system which hands over billpayers' money to distant shareholders. It's time for government to come clean on the true cost of public ownership.

@RosieP4 Shouldn’t responsible dog owners and walkers be able to enjoy the nightjars too?

All they need now is a right to roam Act to send them back to the brink... bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Govt may allow environment officers to search premises without a warrant, seize assets, arrest those suspected of fly-tipping. The biggest culprits are England's water companies - execs rewarded for dumping sewage, company fines waived, no exec penalized. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
