Why not just stop aligning to the gas price? Surely simpler and much more effective. Oh and then devolve energy to Scotland so it can build its grid infrastructure and sell its excess. Then independence (obviously).

The coming energy crunch may define Plaid’s first government bylines.cymru/voices-lleis...

Farage is trying to reset the narrative. The problem is a by election win is no guarantee of that, indeed it could make Qs around his finances more acute. This move is born of wider (and worsening) political weaknesses, dressed as strength. New piece from me open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...

Farage resigns his seat in Clacton forcing a by election which he ... er plans to stand in. Huge performative cost to the taxpayers to feather his ego. I hope it backfires spectacularly

you will get people in Wales going to support the Welsh national football team and the national rugby team while voting for an racist english nationalist party...make it make sense ffs! #senedd26

4 days from the Senedd election, Nigel Farage is hiding from scrutiny. Reform UK are taking the people of Wales for granted. #bbclaurak

Wales must stop the racist english nats on thursday #senedd26

I think reform plc voters know that it will be no good for Wales .but seemingly don't..its a kind of self loathing they posses and its so sad..the nasty shitty farage snake oil salesman has taken advantage..stop and think

Reform leader in Wales Dan Thomas has suggested cutting some financial support to grassroots sport clubs. Worth bearing in mind that Wales already has some of the lowest spending on sport of any country in Europe and is even below the UK average.

Read this, then read it again and if needs be read it again, then think really hard before you put a cross on your ballot

Green is going to smash Reform at the next election. Because people are not stupid they know Nigel Farage is a racist fascist who only dreams of stuffing his pockets with $$$'s from selling off the NHS before he dies.

"I hate Reform and everything they stand for". Welsh grandmother doesn't hold back as she breaks down why she would never vote for Nigel Farage's party. You can see analysis and news from Welsh politics by signing up for my news letter (see comments).

Reform is too thick to hide their real motive for power. It’s not to make us wealthier. It’s not to improve our public services. It’s not even to manage immigration. It’s to wildly enrich themselves by dumping the rules and regulations that protect us from exploitation, discrimination and risk.

"Of those who voted Labour [in 2024], just 37% would vote Labour again". Read that again to absorb the full, astonishing weight of what it means. Starmer, Reeves and co have burnt their house down. news.sky.com/story/greens...

Six years ago, his principles were entirely different.

Westminster is 'out of touch' and 'blind' to the challenges facing Scottish and Welsh communities, John Swinney has said, adding that both countries can do so 'much better' independently from the UK

If Farage ever is in a position to remove the rights of disabled people to vote,get ready to raise hell.

This sums up what Welsh Labour are up against. @moreincommonuk.bsky.social polling looks at how people view various Welsh Gov policies. The further right on the graph the more have heard of it. The further up the more people like it. People have really only heard of the things they hate.
