@maelnallaen A ridiculous interpretation of the current new government. Their pressing problem is to get off to a good start?

Not sure about this. Nothing has changed constitutionally - and although I get it that Labour is a Unionist organisation; Rhun is no more or less Welsh than any previous First Minister we've had.

Did you know that Wales is back under Welsh rule for the first time since Owain Glyndŵr in 1404! Pretty special that don’t you think? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

@maelnallaen Probably not, but at least you will be allowed to vote for the person, not the party?

English Speakers, here is a guide on the pronunciation of Wales’ First Minister’s name: Rhun = REEN (think Green without G) ap = APP (this is ‘child of’, like ‘Mac’) Iorwerth = Yorr-Where-th (think ‘Your Worth, but with an E instead of O) Thank you.

On this day 32 years ago, Labour leader John Smith died suddenly. A politician of conviction, decency and integrity.

Former minister Huw Irranca-Davies has been elected the Senedd's new Llywydd. He succeeds former minister Elin Jones. We wait to see if she is appointed as a new minister in the Plaid Cymru government. She succeeded former minister Rosemary Butler, who in turn succeeded future minister Dafydd Elis Thomas. It continues the pattern of Plaid, Labour, Plaid, Labour in the Presiding Officer's chair since 1999.

@VerhofstadtQ As with all administrations, they are handed the final budget of their predecessor?

This was always going to be the problem. New First Minister getting his excuses in early. Promises will not be delivered, and he will blame Westminster. Exactly the same as Drakeford blamed the Tories for all his failings.

@novaramedia @garethdwr We shall see about that? For the first time, the Senedd has a large and aggressive opposition. This has not happened in the past, hence the working agreements and coalitions. Expect a stormy sea and a hopefully full Senedd Siambr.

"For the first time, we can observe a politics that is distinctly, identifiably Welsh." @garethdwr explains why Labour's losses in Wales herald the beginning of a new Welsh politics – and redefine the nation's relationship to Britishness.

@mattdspry Mae llawer o enwau yng Nghymru ag enwau dilys yn y ddwy iaith. Yn aml , nid ydynt yn gyfieithiadau o'i gilydd. Er enghraifft yn fy mhentref brodorol mae un lôn, Heol Glai hefyd yn cael ei alw'n Park Lane. Pwrpas map yw darganfod eich ffordd o gwmpas. Dylid cynnwys y ddau.

@SohrabAhmari Losing Wales is symbolically devastating. The Labour vote split largely towards Reform and a minority to Plaid. Get your head out of the sand!

I’m a Starmer bitter-ender. For the simple small-D democratic reason that he won a national mandate and his term isn’t up. I don’t understand this notion that bad local election results mean the prime minister should resign.

@JHenryCDF Yes, but British Steel is the company owned by China, not the whole of steelmakers. Another reason why Starmer is a charlatan.

@CraigMurrayOrg In reality , 17% of the possible electorate voted for Plaid, or 34% on the day. It's largely a coalition to stop Reform. Rhun knows , though a remarkable result, is not a move towards independence, which is ill-defined and would lose if put to a vote.

It is not a coincidence that the Celtic nations have all voted in leadership which wishes to end the UK, at a time when the UK is actively complicit in Genocide.

"What Labour have to be careful of is the public actually starting to feel sorry for Keir Starmer..." LBC radio host, Iain Dale, tells @vicderbyshire callers to his show are on the Prime Minister's side. #Newsnight

Nationalising British steel is one of the most empty items on his list. It's already dead, killed by decades of Labour and Tory policy. But more than that, it's an utterly symbolic gesture, to save one of the most energy-intensive sectors from the policy agenda that was forged (no pun intended) out of the Westminster consensus. *All* industries and businesses have rising energy costs. If you're only seeking to save the ones that are closest to the precipice because of policy, then you have missed the point entirely. Cake shops have high energy costs (and high everything else costs) too. Data centres require industrial amounts of power. If we had rational energy policy, then neither cake shops, datacentres or steel works would be up shit creek. But Starmer cannot address the Miliband elephant in the room. And most of Parliament dare not meaningfully dismantle the consensus that the green blob installed.

@EuroBriefing If you think for one instant that the inquisition known as the Commission would not exact a huge price for rejoining, then I'm afraid that the FBPE brigade is extremely naive. Ritual humiliation comes to mind?

Rejoining the EU will not in and of itself increase economic growth in the UK, just as leaving the EU did not reduce it. Brexit was largely a macroeconomic non-event. This could be different if the UK were to rejoin the EU with a positive agenda for growth and deregulation, and about strengthening the EU’s role in the world. I am not holding my breath here. Remain was a scare campaign in 2016. What I have seen from Rejoin advocates so far is essentially a version of the same. eurointelligence.com

Hantavirus infects up to 100,000 people every year, yet suddenly a handful of cases on a cruise ship sparks a mass public health panic fanned by the WHO. We should be very suspicious as to why, says Dr David Bell. dailysceptic.org/2026/05/11/why…
