This is a historic result for Caerffili, itโ€™s a historic result for Plaid Cymru, itโ€™s a historic result for Walesโ€™ political story.

Caerphilly has proven that Plaid Cymru has the momentum and can replace Labour as Walesโ€™ leading party of government in May next year.

The billionaire press barons must be having a right laughโ€ฆ

Here we are distracted & arguing over asylum seekers (0.2% of the population)

Meanwhile, billionaires (just 0.0002% of the population) hoard more wealth than half the UK

Immigration isnโ€™t draining us

Inequality is.

Itโ€™s always been an outlet thatโ€™s comically out of touch, and I do find it funny. But itโ€™s also a massive insult to anyone with a special needs child at a state schoolโ€ฆ

Had this Telegraph article pop up on those Apple News things, Alexander Armstrong angry about private schools being taxed. Not sure if Iโ€™m annoyed because he slightly reminds me of a more conservative version of my dad, or because he thinks only private schools could deal with a special needs child
