Addawodd Llafur y byddai eu ‘partneriaeth mewn grym’ yn gweithio er lles pobl Cymru. Ond am ffars fu hynny. Am yn rhy hir, mae Llafur wedi cymryd Cymru’n ganiataol a heb sefyll dros ein cymunedau. Dim ond Plaid Cymru sy’n cynnig gobaith ac arweinyddiaeth newydd i Gymru.

One of the most remarkable achievements in modern political history has been the emergence of "anti-establishment, anti-elite, people's army" parties - committed to "bringing back the nation-state" - that are led, directed & financed by the richest, most privileged & most mobile people on the planet

EXCL: Nigel Farage was given an undisclosed £5m by crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne shortly before announcing he would stand in general election @annaisaac.bsky.social reveals www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Dear media, when the President of the U.S. uses words like ‘fuck’ and ‘bastards’ it’s your duty to quote them accurately, no matter what your ‘rules’ about using them yourselves are. Stop the euphemisms. Don’t say ‘drop the F bomb’.

Labours attitudes towards water companies is one of the starkest examples of how they'll do anything to protect the status quo. The case for water nationalisation is so bloody obvious to everyone - yet they'll do anything they can to keep the failed privatisation experiment.

Labour, it's time to cut the corporate jargon and it’s time we realised that “writing letters” isn’t working. We need water nationalisation. We need it now.

No, Shabana Mahmood, people seeing failing state support and crumbing infrastructure don't have either legitimate concerns or a legitimate grievance against immigrants, refugees or asylum seekers. They have a legitimate grievance against governments.

G&D and Caerphilly painting quite the picture about how the public really feel about Reform - despite much of the media’s desperate attempts to persuade us that a Farage premiership is inevitable come the next GE.

This was exactly the message they were putting out in Caerphilly right up until the day of the by-election ......when they ended up 3rd place and 36% behind Plaid Cymru

Under Starmer, recognised refugees can no longer reunite with their children. Recognised refugees. Denied the right to reunite with their children. It’s diabolical. Worse than anything the Tories did. & no, the racists are not & never will be satisfied. So yes, he’s hated.

What these “but why do people hate Starmer SO MUCH” takes come down to is so shallow. Starmer doesn’t sound or look like a firebrand so what’s the big deal? Immune to questions of SUBSTANCE - he’s liar, enabled a genocide, pandered to anti-migrant politics & global Fascism.

Labour only has emotional blackmail left. Green by-election candidate Hannah Spencer has a suggestion: "How about you actually just do something to make people vote for you?"

Labour are dancing to the tune of Reform's cruel agenda on asylum. These proposals, including confiscating personal belongings, will punish people who have already endured unimaginable hardship and will create further divisions in our communities. Plaid Cymru rejects such performative cruelty.
