We must make racism disgraceful again. This kind of shameless ugly inadequacy from Pochin should be career-ending, not career-enhancing. Honestly… the Little England nastiness is repulsive.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

The people of Caerphilly obviously recognise the danger of a Farage led Government, maybe the media could start doing their job and challenge Farage on his tin pot dangerous policies and downright racism.

It's hard to believe that this is her main concern.

How mendacious of Reform to divert the genuine concerns of voters, facing a daily CoL struggle, into this dead-end of racism & envy.

Many people are on the breadline in UK & to feed them racialism will do nothing to make their lives better.

Connolly's younger volunteers and organisers are fantastic and deserve huge credit.

Smart, optimistic, strategic, disciplined, tapped into culture, positive message-bearers, excellent communicators.

It's so great to see people putting their energy into a movement that expresses hope. 🇮🇪

If you're a bit silly, you probably don't realise, the UK Government uses Scotland, to dump and hide dodgy stuff.

Decrepit old Nuclear Power Stations and Weapons, Old and Rotting Nuclear Subs, from the 1970s.

Scotland has NO SAY, over ANYTHING.

Only a fool doesn't want Independent Scotland.

The fragment has been categorised as "significant" and was found during monitoring work around the nuclear power plant, near Thurso.

Even with limited powers, we’ve made real progress in Scotland - the only part of the UK where child poverty is falling.

But Westminster’s failed Thatcherite policies are leaving too many Scots struggling.

Let’s build a fairer society with independence.

You can bet if the SNP do too well for WM's liking and end up with a decent majority next year the conversation on the BBC the day after will be the same - not on an SNP win. The BBC seriously don't like their favoured status quo being disturbed - it takes them into different, unfamiliar territory.

Why didnt stunning Caerphilly victory clinch prime 8.10am slot for Plaid_Cymru on BBCr4today prog this am? Instead it's all about Labour & Reform losing. Wakey wakey chaps. This is why Welsh folk feel so ignored. Special free podcast with Yescymru folk I met last weekend.

Prof Henry Maitles: “As a Scottish, Glaswegian Jew who has been on many of these marches, sometimes as part of a bloc under a loose heading of “Scottish Jews stand with Palestine”, I’ve found no hostility whatsoever towards me or indeed any Jewish people.”

I am a Scottish Jew. This is the truth about pro-Palestine 'antisemitism'

Thoughts & prayers for Reform fan-boy Chris Mason forced to write about Plaid's success in Caerphilly.

Eng may be facing Hobson's Choice in their elections between Reform Lite (Labour) or Reform Heavy (Farage), but the Devolved Nations can vote to leave both behind.

Chris Mason: Extraordinary Caerphilly by-election humbles Westminster's big beasts

Plaid Cymru win 47% of the vote in a record turnout, while Labour and the Tories manage just 13% between them.
