Reform UK can’t organise the proverbial piss up in a brewery
Promised to cut costs but instead have succeeded in putting bills up for residents, councils in chaos with cuts everywhere, expenses up, and a reform politician billing the taxpayer for legal fees
Hopeless, useless and pointless

Brilliant journalism as always from @carolecadwalla.bsky.social & @thenerve.news

This needs amplifying. Perhaps @ZackPolanski.bsky.social could give it volume on Kuenssberg tomorrow, as he did during #bbcqt

Who else is on? Bring it up. Force it into the discussion if necessary!

Next week, Reform faces a key by-election in Wales. Yet voters in Caerphilly know none of this.

Even tho Reform’s candidate is Nathan Gill’s former assistant.

We are at a critical point of failure in Britain. The delay of the authorities, the silence of the media..

Has the national media decided it’s a ‘Welsh story’? Or is it because all the r/w print outlets ignoring it?

Either way, voters in Caerphilly have been failed by both the police & now the media

Hey @zackpolanski.bsky.social I hear you are talking to Laura Kuenssberg tomorrow morning?

Can you ask her why this story is being exposed by a 3-week-old-old outlet @thenerve.news & not the BBC?? 🤔

Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla.bsky.social · 15h

NEW: Police knew a Kremlin spy ring recruited former leader of Reform Wales at least 3 years ago.

So why was Nathan Gill not charged till Feb this year?

Pls read part 2 of @thenerve.news special investigation into Nathan Gill. And please share!

We will NEVER stop fighting until the Badger cull is over for good.

👉 This Government has a decision to make:

Continue the needless slaughter of Badgers

OR

Acknowledge the truth that it’s the cruel farming industry that has to take responsibility for the issues they’ve caused.

I like to leave a little bit of white paper showing sometimes on a drawing, it makes a kind of paper cut out effect. As you can see I did it with these monarch butterflies...

#Butterflies #insects #OriginalArt #Drawing #Painting #Artwork #GiftIdeas #ArtShop #bsnm

A small drawing of a group of orange and black monarch butterflies in flight with a green background with abstract flowers. The drawing is on white paper.
The name monarch is believed to have been given in honour of King William III of England, as the butterfly's main colour is that of the king's secondary title, Prince of Orange.
An original art work, please note that the frame is not included.
Colour pencil and mixed media on acid free toned artist paper
5 by 7 inches (12.7 by 17.8 cm).
