Rich Reform UK MPs love to - stimatise needy benefits claimants - claim massive "expenses" "Benefits-bashing Reform UK MP Suella Braverman claimed £45,000 in parliamentary expenses towards her water bills, newly-emerged files show - leaving the taxpayer on the hook" www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

However, we should consider how we support good journalism; if you live in Cymru, for example (or care about what happens here) you should consider subscribing to the excellent @willhaycardiff.bsky.social newsletter.

Least surprising thing ever: Reform are full of racists.But it’s the conditions that have led to this:years of mainstream media platforming Farage,telling people “It’s ok to be racist,just say ‘genuine concerns’”. That’s on BBC,most papers.Thankfully we’re past peak Reform & they’re imploding fast 👋

The Welsh language is as alive as ever. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 From those who speak it every day to those learning their first words, there’s a place for everyone in our nation's story. And today, why not add a word or two to that story with a "shwmae" or "su'mae"? Let us know your favourite Welsh greeting!

EXCLUSIVE: Scots have good reason to feel they are getting a 'raw deal' on their energy bills considering the nation’s renewable resources, a leading economist has said👇 👉 www.thenational.scot/news/2...

Through working cooperatively, Plaid Cymru has reached a deal on our supplementary budget. This is a budget that supports those most in need in Wales by investing in ALN, in the NHS, and in expanding childcare . Plaid Cymru is working for Wales.

Drwy weithio ar y cyd, mae Plaid Cymru wedi dod i gytundeb ar ein cyllideb atodol. Mae hon yn gyllideb sy'n cefnogi'r rhai sydd fwyaf mewn angen yng Nghymru drwy fuddsoddi mewn ADY, yn y gwasanaeth iechyd, ac i ehangu gofal plant. Mae Plaid Cymru yn gweithio dros Gymru.

Why is this news?

This is what standing up for Wales looks like

And the mask slips again...

Succinct as ever

The momentum for Irish unification, Scottish Independence and Welsh independence continues. www.rte.ie/news/world/2... #IrishUnity #IndyRef2 #WelshIndependence

Let's hope so #Annibyniaeth #IndyWales

New York c.3000 dead. Gaza 73000 dead and rising.

Cofiwch Dryweryn! #Annibyniaeth #IndyWales

Absolutely. Palestine should stand as its own independant country. Well done for recognising this @andyburnham.bsky.social And therefore so should 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 and 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿!!

Wales has some of the best renewable energy resources in Europe, but profits flow outwards whilst we struggle with rising costs 📈 Plaid Cymru is proposing a new clean energy company - owned by Wales, to benefit Wales. Creating jobs, growth and lowering bills 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿💪

Independence is normal

Dear BBC, in the interests of impartiality (see your Charter), please give updates on LibDem, Green, SNP, Plaid Cymru etc policies alongside Reform’s. Thank you, a licence payer

Araith trydanol / Phenomenal speech 🔥👏 Speaking truth to power,highlighting an inconvenient truth. Love the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿Cymraeg references & comparison. Maori language beaten out of us? Sounds familiar. Am ysbrydoliaeth / What an inspiration. Tamatha Paul 👏⚫️🇳🇿 #Aotearoa

An interesting piece by @richardwynjones.bsky.social on the new Prime Minister’s #devolution agenda and the extent to which his vision for England may diverge from his govt’s approach to managing the territorial constitution in Scotland and Wales #senedd #holyrood #stormont

Mi wnaeth tair blynedd o goleg yn Aber byd o les i mi!

Kinnock should step down immediately. His position is untenable given that his wife sits on the board of Vesta Wind Systems who are expanding into the Celtic Sea which includes Pembrokeshire. A clear conflict of interest exists regarding any decisions regarding devolution of Crown Estate powers.

nation.cymru/news/no-comm... Perhaps this is the potential "instability" Kinnock was thinking of with his casual dismissal of Crown Estate devolution (which has wide support amongst those who actually live in Cymru)?

Andy Burnham says he wants to redistribute power to every corner of the country. That's a noble goal. But it cannot be achieved without ensuring that all votes count equally, regardless of your postcode. To empower left behind communities, we need Proportional Representation.

Likewise Cymru #IndyWales #Annibyniaeth

With the appointment of Stephen Kinnock as the latest in along line of dyed-in-the-wool Britnats as governor-general of Cymru...

Malaysian owned (via Jersey) Wessex Water CEO got 14% base salary increase despite bonus ban over sewage spills and 70m litres of water leaks daily. Workers got 3.5%. Customers' bills rise 21%. And Westminster is fit for purpose? Our Senedd needs full control of Welsh resources yes.cymru/join

A former asylum seeker who arrived in Wales without knowing the country had its own language is celebrating his graduation from Swansea University with a master’s in Welsh

For "not yet entirely convinced" read "dyed-in-the-wool Britnat who'll run down Cymru until his dying breath"

I’ve called on the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards to conduct a formal investigation into whether Nigel Farage breached the MP Code of Conduct, specifically regarding the gifts and benefits he received from George Cottrell in the 12 months leading up to the 2024 General Election.

While chaos englufs Labour and Reform UK at Westminster - Plaid Cymru is taking urgent action on your priorities, and always demanding fairness for Wales. Gydag anrhefn lwyr yn San Steffan - mae Plaid Cymru yn parhau i sefyll fyny dros Gymru a mynnu tegwch i’n cymunedau. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Now that their soon-to-be leader has U-turned on fair funding, Labour have given up on standing up for Wales. They refuse to support Plaid Cymru's calls to scrap the unfair Barnett formula. Plaid Cymru will always stand up for Wales and fight for the fairness we deserve.

Last night, Labour joined Reform and the Tories to play politics and reject Plaid Cymru’s calls for fair funding for Wales 😳 They’ll always put party before country - while Plaid Cymru will always stand up for our communities 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿✊

Seeking powers over policing to Wales isn’t about power for power’s sake - it’s to improve the lives of our people If it’s good enough for Manchester, why not Wales? 🤔 Mae Plaid Cymru yn gwthio am bwerau dros blismona a chyfiawnder i greu cymunedau mwy diogel. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

...and it seems Cymru can't *afford* independence
