Reminder - Labour BLOCKED Plaid Cymru's amendments to devolve powers to Wales over its natural resources.

Devolving the Crown Estate is key to driving economic development and to ensure that profits from our natural resources stay in Wales.

Only Plaid Cymru stands up for 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿.

In a letter to Chancellor Rachel Reeves, Ben Lake MP proposes several alternatives to the Chancellor’s current fiscal approach. These include: - Charging National Insurance on limited liability partnerships, such as large corporate law firms; - Closing tax loopholes that allow overseas-based online vendors to avoid VAT; - Ending subsidies for oil and gas companies.

NEW: Ben Lake MP has written to the Chancellor ahead of the Spring Statement, urging alternatives to cuts.

It’s time to raise taxes on big corporations and close tax loopholes - not yet more cuts to the most vulnerable.

Labour austerity is not inevitable.

Rachel Reeves says there are “difficult choices” to make.

But those choices always seem to rain hardest on the poorest, the sickest, the most vulnerable – while the ultra-wealthy and big corporations are sheltered from the storm.
 
It doesn’t have to be this way.

Keir Starmer says ‘all options are on the table’ for Scunthorpe – rightly so. But when Port Talbot faced crisis, those options were nowhere to be seen.

Labour mocked Plaid Cymru’s call for nationalisation in Wales.

We’ll be calling out this double standard tomorrow.

Black graphic with "Labour's priorities laid bare:" in large text at the top. Underneath - a bar chart titled "Transport spending" with "Funding allocated by Labour to English regions vs. all of Wales" as the subtitle. The figures are: Greater Manchester - £2.5 billion; West Midlands - £2.4 billion; West Yorkshire - £2.1 billion; East Midlands - £2 billion; South Yorkshire - £1.5 billion; Wales - £0.4 billion."

While Labour’s giving English regions BILLIONS each - the entirety of Wales is getting just £445m over 10 years 😡

And worse? Labour in Wales didn't even ask for more.

It's time for a government that will fight for what Wales is owed. It's time for Plaid Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Labour in Wales were frenziedly spinning the Spending Review claiming how they delivered a good deal for Wales.

The truth is that Labour run Wales is one of the losers, while SNP run Scotland has gained.

Can someone explain to me how this partnership in power thing is working?

Only Plaid Cymru offers Wales the new leadership we need. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Reform UK is the same old English/British nationalism that’s trampled Wales for centuries.
Things will only get better when we finally believe in ourselves and vote for a Welsh party!
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Plaid Cymru was formed in Wales, is based in Wales – and is the only party that always puts Wales first! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Nigel Farage says he hates Europe but all his children, which have European mothers, have EU passports not British ones.

He is a disgraceful fraud everything he says is a lie.

Ben Obese-Jecty is the only Conservative MP and frankly one of the vanishingly small number of MPs, full stop, to react to this stuff in a normal way.

I'm gutted that my country 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 is being dragged down by the uk govt 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 in its support for genocide

We shouldn't be handcuffed like this

Wales (and Scotland) have called for the genocide to stop, but just get ignored

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 INDY is the only answer for us to have a compassionate voice on the world stage!

The hate stirring Farage has a lot to answer for... as does his nascent fascist hate machine Reform!!

It's been a confusing week - and Trump's been made to look weak A back and forth on security guarantees from Ukraine, Europe, and Russia all makes the president look rather weak, and it's unclear whether Trump's America would truly sign up to anything that obliges...

There would be an immediate cease fire if Russia immediately ceases firing.

... but I heard that there are 2.5 billion farms in Iowa... what about the other half billion?!!

Trump spoke of “shylocks,” which is one of the most recognizable antisemitic terms in modern English. Watch who tries to explain this away.

... this guy is a nasty piece of work!

Reform's Darren Grimes Accused of Lying After Police Deny Telling Him Not to Hold Council Surgeries for 'Security' Reasons EXCLUSIVE: Local police have rejected the Reform UK deputy council leader's claim that they advised him not to meet his constituents

Reform UK's Darren Grimes tells constituents he can't hold surgeries with them because he's been advised by the police not to do so for "security reasons".

The only problem? Police spokesperson says this is entirely untrue and they gave no such advice

The Ferret has obtained internal ScotGov documents which say SNP only found out about end of refining at Grangemouth on 29 April from news reports, opposition politicians conveniently blaming the SNP for failure when, economic levers that matter, reside in Westminster. l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http...

Britain must stay out of this insane war An American attack on Iran would be an act of belligerence and lunacy

Britain must stay out of this insane war. We should provide no assistance whatsoever to the US or Israel, in any form.

inews.co.uk/opinion/brit...

The man who couldn’t find Iran on a map now wants two weeks to decide if we go to war with it. Meanwhile, the rest of us get to guess if mushroom clouds pair well with morning coffee. Kings used to have jesters. We elected ours.

Cuba is a Socialist country and one of the poorest in the world suffering under a 60+ year economic blockade by the richest country in the world.

Guess which one has better healthcare, life expectancy, literacy, lower infant mortality and every type of crime.

It ain't the USA.
