It appears Rhys ab Owen, current independent MS and formerly Plaid Cymru, is putting out literature in the Cardiff Penarth constituency.
Will he be standing in May? Could shave one or two percent off Plaid in a key target seat.

@Hillofwad @LloydCymru It does, but all of the polling agents are setup to deal with FPTP and tactical voting however.
It would be a major achievement to get 4 for example, but almost certainly won't happen as that would require getting 75% of the vote which is unheard of.
English
@ynnmtn @LloydCymru Well it ceratinly looks that t way
The bookies have Plaid at 1/3 short price favs to get most seats
With Reform drifted out to 9/4
The rest just make up the numbers but both Greens & Labour could be kingmakers
Plaid may get 4 out of 6 seats in a couple
Every vote counts

@Hillofwad @LloydCymru It's just what they do - They're falsely claiming that this is a fight between them and Reform and only they can defeat Reform as a basis for their Senedd election campaign. This is untrue, obviously, as now it's a PR system people can vote for who they want.
English
@ynnmtn @LloydCymru Well with under 40 votes beween Reform & Tory perhaps they might have upset the applecart
Staggering to think in MH that Plaid wouldn't enjoy some support
English
@Hillofwad @LloydCymru They don't stand it they think it's a straight loss to Reform.
English
@LloydCymru V, disappointing Plaid didn't dish up a candidate
They really do need to wise up
A party which should be your natural home has not embraced you properly is just beyond.
Standing as an indpendent
A whiff of the "old Labour guard" about them x.com/Hillofwad/stat…

@Plaid_Cymru @CarrieAHarper No candidate for last night's by election in Milford Haven. 😮 Optics are terrible unable to field a candidate on West Wales coast Gifted Reform a seat unchallenged Meanwhile cep.partyof.wales No platform on x or Bluesky for Ceredigion P. What is this amateur hour ?

@WelshReformer @LloydCymru They don't stand it they think it's a straight loss to Reform.

@LloydCymru Plaid seemingly couldn’t be arsed this time 🤷🏻♂️

@TS92Avfc @BritainVotesNow You're witnessing a major split in the Green Party here.
Liverpool, City Centre Ward - Taken in by the left wing stuff spouted by Polanski.
The others, both rural, socially liberal, supports Greens for the Green stuff, not the left-wing stuff.

@BritainVotesNow Surprised at the Greens performance, would have expected better does this show their recent support is mainly online?

@PDRNHPUK @ElectionMapsUK This area never voted Tories, idiot. Let’s just skim past the fact that they had Deform and decided they were shit so voted them out.

English
@PDRNHPUK @ElectionMapsUK Yes because all wards are the same aren't they. Absolute winning formula, bringing out Reform's best with you...
English
@ynnmtn @ElectionMapsUK That was in Parliamentary elections in Durham. 15% more like it locally. Still down 80% from a few years ago.
English
@PDRNHPUK @ElectionMapsUK Let's be rational and not make things up. I've just been through the last 30 years of elections in Murton, the Tory vote has never gone over 15% here.
Not to mention they've just won a by-election in Sevenoaks.. 'sOoN bE gOnE'
English
@ynnmtn @ElectionMapsUK They used to get up to 30%, now the Tories make do with a 3% vote. Soon be gone.
English
@PDRNHPUK @ElectionMapsUK Let's get back to reality - it's Murton... area that hasn't voted Tory since the Second World War.
English
@ElectionMapsUK The Tories have almost disappeared, again. The ongoing Kemi collapse.

@EmilyThornberry @Woman4W “Where is the organised opposition in Iran?” In 35,000 body bags, Emily. You’re so supposed to know this, you’re the fucking Chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee. What a totally unserious dumbass.
English
Iran, specifically Iranian women, have been crying out for solidarity, for a push to get rid of the regime that's had a hijab-covered boot on their neck for 47 years.
Iran: The time is now.🫡
US: The time is now.🫡
UK: But... but... the CONSEQUENCES! 😭
Emily Thornberry@EmilyThornberry
I am pleased to see the UK is not involved in these strikes on Iran. They are ill-advised and illegal. We will be hit by the consequences though & need to prepare for chaos in the region, with shipping lanes, oil facilities & military bases (including our own) being attacked.

Based on recent reports from Reuters and others, the US State Department is developing freedom.gov to help users in Europe access banned content via US-routed traffic, targeting laws like the UK's Online Safety Act. It's not launched yet (site is registered but empty). Undersecretary Sarah Rogers has said "nothing is off the table" against such restrictions.

This was great. A former Prime Minister and current Deputy PM from opposite parties agreeing widely on the UK’s AI approach and strategy has impact in countries where this level of nonpartisanship wouldn’t happen.
Also, Sunak is delightfully diffusion-pilled, and AISI supportive (all the best folk are)
David Lammy@DavidLammy
@RishiSunak and I managed to navigate through the notorious New Delhi traffic to reflect on our time at the AI Summit We share an ambition to drive forward UK AI research and innovation, how important safety developments are & how significant growth opportunities are for the UK

@williamkane9 @JAHeale It isn't - I don't think the Police have ever taken action over a lack of imprint.
However, if the results are close, parties can petition the results then it's up to the courts to decide!
English
@JAHeale No further action this is two tier policing
English
New: Greater Manchester Police confirm via email that the investigation into the Reform leaflet with a missing imprint has concluded.
Spox: “We have contacted all interested parties, including the Electoral Commission, to provide advice and guidance about promotional communications going forward.”
No suggestion of further action.
