Always important to remember that when it comes to electoral reform Labours first and last priority is always “how do we weaken other leftwing parties whilst, simultaneously, maximising our electoral advantage?”

I published this article for the Welsh magazine 'Barn' today. It's the only story I've seen about the morally dubious sponsorship of the @eisteddfod.cymru Science Village by Valero, one of the world's largest oil refining companies. barn.cymru/en_gb/yr-eis...

Fiscal autonomy is the only serious solution to the rot at the heart of Welsh devolution – it would actually grant the Senedd – and therefore the people of Wales – genuine power ✍️Ryan Morgan

This is counter-productive, authoritarian and chilling. The British state should not be in the business of banning commentators and journalists from entering the country, without compelling reason. Finding their views objectionable is nowhere near enough. www.theguardian.com/media/2026/j...

My immediate takeaway is bad news for Lab any remaining wavering voters will probs break towards Plaid,not great for Plaid though either they had a 10%+ lead over Ref 3 months back which does suggest a lot of DKs are heading to reform but on the flip side will strengthen their Plaid v Ref message

Here's his answer, on film. Should have been an open goal to talk about pollution, rewilding, nature recovery, or just some of the actual challenges that farmers are facing. Hopefully this doesn't represent Welsh Green policies in the manifesto, out next week. We need a party that stands for nature

Great question about the future of farming by @willhaycardiff.bsky.social at the Green Party launch. A little disappointed to see @anthonyslaughter.bsky.social answer by immediately citing the need for closeness with the farming unions, who are chief architects of our current awful systems.

Shamima Begum was the beginning of something in so many ways, one of which was 'the last government's inability to just do its job properly (in this case by passing legislation that would have allowed it to prosecute her here at home) and instead going 'no option but to undermine all our rights'.

I think Transactual put it best (in reference to the girl guides) and now Labour too: "There is no problem being solved here, only harm being done." All to appease the right, who hate them anyway - shame on them.

Richard Tunnicliffe is the Labour candidate in the Caerphilly. So a Labour candidate, wants you to vote Labour, to get him elected to a Labour run Senedd, to tell a Labour run council to spend UK Labour provided money to not close libraries that a Labour council are trying to close. Simple.
