As Arron Banks appears in the Reform Party video after Vladimir Putin has exposed his violent expansionist plan for Russia, it is worth revisiting what the judge said about Banks and the undisclosed Russian Embassy visits in the lead up to Brexit

Since Labour came to power in Westminster, their ‘partnership in power’ is hurting Wales. Whether its their austerity-style policies, or a refusal to fight for fairness, Labour are letting Wales down. Wales deserves a Plaid Cymru government that will always stand up for them.

The UK Treasury has screwed Wales again! They've now classed a railway line running for Oxford to Cambridge as an "England and WALES" project. This robs Wales over £300m+ whereas Scotland and NI get their cash. It's a disgrace that this is still happening after the HS2 robbery.

In Moscow no hint of compromise. Russia continues to attack Ukraine. One Russian newspaper this week told European leaders to "breathe in the smell of the new world order." My thoughts on the last two weeks.

Swifts are amazing. A single swift can fly 2 million miles in its lifetime with a top speed of nearly 70 mph 😳 Yet they’re under pressure as never before. Please do as @hannahbournetaylor.bsky.social asks - lobby your MP to overturn this Govt’s obdurate refusal to mandate swift bricks in new homes 👇
