I live in Wales and today received my Join Us letter from Reform UK, complete with SAE which I posted back to them, immediately, empty. If every other person in Wales did this, Reform would spend over £1.5 million on postage. Not sorry. Join me Cymru.

I don’t care if Reform calls me a bad word on WhatsApp. But the story behind its gaffe is far more worrying | Will Hayward
The leaked exchange shows how much the party dislikes scrutiny – which reveals a lot about its approach to governing, says Guardian columnist Will Hayward

Wait, one bit of the government can't do its job because it has to transfer some money to another bit of the government if it does? Feels like there's an easy fix here.

Reform’s former leader in Wales, Nathan Gill, has been sentenced to over ten years in prison after he took bribes to spread pro-Russian propaganda.

Wales stands with Ukraine.

It’s time for a full investigation into Russian interference in our democracy.

Mind bending idiocy from Starmer on just about every level imaginable.
Keir Starmer's planning to make former First Minister Vaughan Gething a Lord according to The Times.

Mr Gething was FM for 4 months.

His time as leader was overshadowed by a controversial £200k donation to his leadership campaign.

He stepped down after 4 ministers resigned.

In July, US nuclear weapons were stationed at Lakenheath. I'm really not sure where they are pointing anymore.

Starmer needs to get a grip.
