We welcome the development of offshore wind in Wales. But with Plaid Cymru's Crown Estate Wales Bill reaching its final stage in the House of Lords next week, we are calling for control of our natural resources so profits are reinvested in our communities, not sent to London.

Trumplethinskin can dish it out, but just can't take it. Because someone called him a "Pedophile Protector", the short-fingered vulgarian flipped the tiniest bird imaginable. 😂 #TheTruthHurts

Reform UK won’t say ‘private’ when talking about the NHS. Richard Tice is calling it ‘independent’: "Instead of giving £26bn to the already bloated wasteful NHS, we proposed easing pressure on the health service by incentivising those who can afford to pay more to go independent with a tax break."

This time last year Polanski was barely known outside the party. Now he’s hoping for success at May’s local elections – by taking a page from Nigel Farage’s playbook

Meet Aimee Bock, mastermind of Massive Minneapolis Minnesota fraud scheme. She lured Somalis into opening daycares & wellness centers promising millions in Fed Govt funding. Most never got paid, she kept $250M and they closed. Ain't no ICE issues. Somali's were the victims, whistleblowers.

Texas GOP Rep. Giovanni Capriglione...the same man who rammed through a six‑week abortion ban...has been exposed: a 17‑year affair and allegedly paid for multiple abortions. These aren't leaders...they're hypocrites in power. If that doesn’t make you furious, you’re not awake.

The UK has the highest electricity prices in Europe and Scotland has the highest in the UK, this disincentivises investment and harms everyone in Scotland and it’s deliberate #ScottishIndependence

UK median wage, £29,628. Net pay, £24,852; barely enough to survive. Top 1% have more wealth than 70% of the population combined. Bottom 50% less than 5%. Can't revive economy without boosting purchasing power of the bottom 50%. Workers need higher share of GDP. Progressive taxation.

As British soldiers were being evacuated from Dunkirk, the 1st Canadian Division was already in the UK as the only fully armed force to defend the shores. This photo of Canadians in the Battle of Britain is displayed across from our parliament. We fought fascism from day 1. Don't fuck with us.

Not enjoying the JD Vance piece on #r4today.. “There was a strong sense he sees Britain as something rather different from Europe, wasn’t there?” Of course. We’re much more desperate and exploitable on our own. Stop looking for a ‘special relationship’ in the fake flattery of ugly nationalists.
