First of all, 5mm isn't microscopic and you CAN see them.

Second of all, the fact that our Chancellor thinks she can't see these seems to mean she thinks they're not worthy of our consideration.

A hallmark of this government's terminal lack of imagination.

Sorry I misread your reply with my previous reply! Agree!

This is a deeply entitled and silly article. It's also the wrong approach if what Plaid wants is concessions from the Greens.

Unfortunately Wales stupid new electoral system deeply disincentives strategic alliances like the one proposed here. So what can Plaid offer the Greens going forward?

It's not a bad pitch and it's putting "your party" to shame.

I want to see @anthonyslaughter.bsky.social start making these in Grangetown and Splott.

She's doing to Eluned Morgan what they also want to do to the bats and the newts 🥲

Fears over safety of artefacts after midnight museum heist Two men have been arrested on suspicion of burglary after the break-in at St Fagans National Museum of History in Cardiff.

Never mind, just seen it! Still looking for the items it seems

Where did you see this? Amazing news

If you're not Welsh and you're wondering why this winds us up so much it's because it's £445m spread over 10 years, and we're still owed £4bn for those HS2 Barnett consequentials that must have got lost in the post.

I really wonder if London Labour are prepared to lose Wales to reform or Plaid.

The fact that Rachel Reeves told the Labour Conference Welsh night how lucky they all were for all that extra train money we've received is sending me 🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂

The disconnect is real, and if I were a Welsh Labour candidate, staff member or politician I'd be fucking fuming at the moment

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

"The problem with Vietnam was we didn't do enough war crimes"

Once again: renewable energy is far cheaper than fossil fuels. This bullshit is wearing pretty thin.

Utter. Yank. Nonsense.

And if you have any doubts as to whether this march was political, they were marching and blocking roads to advocate for the moral cleansing of a district of London. Sounds pretty political to me!

The malign influence of US-centered evangelicalism is a rot that threatens to consume other countries and eats at our culture.

It's easy to make fun of them because they're utterly comical and devoid of sense of historical context in what they say and do.

But they are dangerous.

'Lunacy': Evangelical group in black uniforms target Soho street in bizarre protest BIZARRE footage of an evangelical group dressed in black chanting “Jesus Saves” in Soho has been described as “lunacy”.

We are through the looking glass:

An evangelical group in gold-black uniforms are blocking traffic in Soho to protest against the 'sex district'.

A friend points out that political uniforms for marches have been banned here since the 1930s.

This is the individual who is out and about saying that we need to crack down on peaceful protest?

What happens to these people???!!

UK citizens getting illegally arrested in international waters and we do nothing.

Cool!

The framing that our electricity costs are higher because of net zero targets is braking my brain.

Low carbon energy is cheaper than fossil fuel counterparts. We just need to untether our prices from gas and oil.

It's essential to the wellbeing of our rural economies and that of our natural environment that the economic modelling for the SFS is based on up-to-date data, and that it considers the scheme as a whole.

The SFS has been watered down plenty. Enough.

Couldn't sleep last night because of woke

Labour’s plan for migrants to ‘earn’ permanent residency turns belonging into an endless exam In this hierarchical system, migrants are kept on extended probation and judged by standards never applied to British nationals.

A great summary of Labour's ghoulish plans to outflank Farage on Reform.

It will convince nobody, will immiserate many. Stop it.

The Welsh Government now need to focus on ensuring that the collaborative and optional layers can pick up some of the slack created by watering the universal layer down - for that it needs proper resourcing.

This sector needs honesty now more than ever.

Wales: NFU Cymru concerned about subsidy plan despite changes Ministers say the revised plan promises better outcomes and value for money.

The Welsh Farming Unions own the Sustainable Farming Scheme.

If it fails to address our many crises, it is because they designed it not to. It won't do enough for nature, and it won't do enough to address the decline of our rural communities.

They own this.

State land purchases for rewilding 'continue to alienate farmers' The government's efforts to purchase land for the purpose of rewilding land "continues to alienate...

Given that the INHFA was adamantly against the Nature Restoration Law, and that the NPWS brings major economic benefits to rural areas, bringing land into public ownership can only be a good thing.

Will I be seeing any friends at the Welsh Green Party conference on the weekend?

It was pretty awesome to get to return for a cameo appearance at another of @campaign4parks.bsky.social's future leader courses, this time to share some of my experiences working and campaigning in Wales.

Look out for some of these faces, you'll be seeing them again!
