Like to get out and about in nature as much as my health allows (long term ME/CFS) so expect a mix of landscape/wildlife photos and venting about politics/current affairs

This shows how little Farage thinks of Wales.This election is about many things,from who controls and plans everyday services,inc NHS & Education, to the continued support of our language. To reduce it to a referendum on Starmer may suit the Brit(English) Nats of Reform but it is insulting to Wales

All this talk of Starmer standing up to Trump, we are still allowing their bombers to use our bases for defensive attacks (?!)..... what if one of those ....accidentlyπŸ˜‰.... hits another school and kills another 150 kids?....do we just shrug our shoulders and say not our problem! #newsnight

 A facebook post from Will Hayward which reads ad follows;

"I really need the Welsh Conservatives to manage my finances. 

They have just launched their manifesto for Wales and the figures are WILD.

They have made the following commitments:

- Build the M4 relief road (that will cost billions).
- Build new Menai bridge
- FOUR new community hospitals
- Increased mental health service capacity 
- New mental health crisis centres across Wales
- Judge led inquiry into grooming gangs (Β£20m)
- Deliver new school building program
- Β£100 more for farming budget.

Pretty expensive stuff right? Well they say at they will be cutting the following taxes:

- Take 1p off income tax basic rate in Wales (cost Β£280m)
- Scrap stamp duty

So cutting tax while committing to billions in spending. This begs the question of how they will do it?

When asked they said the bulk would come from "efficiency savings"."

The Welsh branch of the Conservative Party appear to have found that magic money tree they always used to go on about ...... billions of pounds of spending and tax cuts funded by......efficiency savingsπŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

No no, you don't understand....its all part of Starmer's amazing Trump whispering that has led to all those amazing trade deals that are definitely going to happen....sometime....in the future....honest

Amongst these hundreds of thousands will be many, who are there because they don't want to contribute to the UK state, through taxes, but are now happy to accept help from it when things get dicey πŸ€”

Does #BBCLauraK often ask Reform representatives if they are happy to have the backing of Tommy Robinson?

Cowardly response by John Healey, not answering the questions with his pre-prepared sound bites,stuck on repeat..... Also, much mention of Iranian attacks on civilian targets but no mention of the 100 kids killed by an attack on a school in Iran #BBCLauraK

As a professional military strategist, I just wanted to make sure everyone has a full understanding of the American strategy in Iran, thank you for your attention to this matter

If Labour MPs have any sense (!?!?) then this letter should be the end of Starmer, he clearly does not understand

That's 2 in a row now... #Caerphilly and now #GortonAndDenton , where the party that stood up to Reform rather than pander to them have won clear victories 🧐

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

It's exactly what they were saying in the recent Caerphilly by-election, right up until the morning of the election....... they finished 36% behind Plaid Cymru. Labour are more afraid of losing heavily to a left of centre party than they are of handing a victory to Reform

Given the stream of MAGA apologists that appear on #Newsnight, I think its time a study was undertaken into the effect of botox and lip filler on brain function
