Just read this excellent piece from Stephen Price and you will see that Labour will never have the best interests of the people of Wales at heart!

"The Labour Party (typically) had much to say when in opposition in Westminster, and telling our nation that they know better with regard to the Crown Estate, with our own stolen land, despite every council in Wales saying otherwise, is the final, unforgivable straw."

Stephen Price on the mark!

Irranca-Davies on comparing Scotland and Wales
'In keeping with the attitude of Jo Stevens,he said,quite incredibly:“We don’t want to copy & paste the devolution settlement from somewhere else,” adding: “That would actually be imitation, not devolution.”'

From where do they get such utter nonsense!

'Huw Irranca-Davies raised concerns about a “for Wales, see Scotland”-style approach, maintaining that the Welsh Government’s guiding principle will always be what is in the best interests of the people of Wales.'
Translation-we shall continue 2 allow Welsh resources to be taken in return 4 crumbs

Only 29% would back Brexit now

Sunday Times cover saying new poll shows only 29% would vote for Brexit now.

And expect that number to shrink further.

No matter how much the government, major parties, or tabloid press push “Brexit benefits…”

People know Brexit doesn’t.

Brexit leaves the UK in a structurally weaker position, bleeding money, time, efficiency and opportunity daily.

Israel has deliberately starved the people of Gaza. It couldn’t have done it without the west's help | Owen Jones The current hand-wringing by Keir Starmer and other western politicians is empty bluster. They knew what was happening all along, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

When it comes to barriers to growth, some of the most onerous cited by Britain's exporters are Brexit-related. Recent ONS data serve as a reminder of the stakes. Seven out of the UK's top 10 export markets for goods last year were in the EU. The bloc consumed 47.7 per cent of goods exports, down only slightly from 51 per cent a decade earlier. Sir Keir Starmer's reset deal has been an incremental affair when it comes to red tape removal, however, and his red lines barring membership of the single market and customs union make radical change hard to foresee. Starmer may have signed a trade deal with India today but the significance of this will be far outweighed by the course of dealings with Brussels.

They talk about our ‘deal’ and the EU ‘deal’ with the US… as if they’re wins, rather than (probably) temporary agreements to reduce import taxes from ruinous to just damaging.
Meanwhile, we continue to scrabble around for growth, having slammed the big door marked ‘GROWTH’ in our own faces…🙄
(FT)

85% of Gaza is on the brink of death due to starvation. Israel could let aid in at any moment. And some people (like these men tried to do with me on Friday) are still trying to justify this atrocity.

There is no justification. This could stop at any moment. End the blockade now.

“Democracy is democracy. We have to live our values. You can’t treat voters as if they belong to you. You can’t get stroppy when someone else decides to set up a party. You can fight that party - politically, ideologically - you can contest those votes ten times harder. But you don’t own them.”

"Water, water, every where,
Nor any drop to drink."
Water, water, every where
So what are we to think?

Water, water every where,
so why's there such a stink?
Water, water, every where,
And ne'r did the Boards' pay shrink;

Deepest apologies 2 SamuelColeridgeTaylor
They wonder why we get so angry?
