As this keeps coming up and my blocking finger’s getting a workout of late frankly,for the record this patriotic Welsh speaker, does not support Welsh independence or nationalism in any form. My views come from experience, I owe no one an explanation. I will not engage in debate on this subject.

This is quite a shocking chart to show the swing from left to right for voters in Caerphilly and seeing how the right is now really just Reform as the Tory'a have been obliterated, putting my personal views about Plaid aside, if the Senedd vote looks like this in May I will take that.

willhaywardwales.substack.com/p/plaid-smas... superb from @willhaycardiff.bsky.social - " So it turns out more people are more concerned in Caerphilly about the opponents of immigration, than they are about the immigrants themselves…"

A huge sigh of relief in South Wales this morning, nationalism is not the way forward but certainly preferable to fascism. Lots to think about for Labour in Wales the protest vote was inevitable.

This worked so well during covid so definitely in support of bringing this back and so much safer for pedestrians and party goers too. If you combine this with the later licence laws its a return to Soho at its seedy best - shame the booze is so expensive.

I hate to say it about a labour government but they were waiting for the court of opinion to decide for them i fear. So bloody frustrating

The Silence from Labour on this is so telling I cant think of an easier win than to call this out as its a double hit on both Tory ineptitude and Reform otherism - I just dont get it mate.
