What do they mean by 'win'? Surely even most enthusiastic don'tt envisage Greens running Welsh govt? So what would 'winning' mean?

but despite some clear differences they've worked well together in Cardiff if I've understood correctly from interview with Anthony Slaughter on podcast For Wales see Wales. There may also be generational difference in how Greens perceive PC - do they remember Cynog Dafis or not?

Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death The capital city is Finnishโ€™ed with car-related fatalities.

โ€œHelsinki hasnโ€™t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past yearโ€ฆCiting data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a carโ€™s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinkiโ€™s residential areas and city center in 2021.โ€

The White House on X: "President Donald J. Trump on the United States military combat operations in Iran: https://t.co/LimJmpLkgZ" / X President Donald J. Trump on the United States military combat operations in Iran: https://t.co/LimJmpLkgZ

No authorisation of Congress. No international backing. Just a demented old man, terrified that his deepest, ugliest secrets will come to light. Who made his solemn announcement wearing a USA baseball cap.

Many schoolgirls are already dead.

What have you come to, America...?๐Ÿ˜ข

Funny how politicians who are most keen on whining about immigration and refugees and asylum seekers are also very keen on starting the wars that create refugees and asylum seekers.

Scottish Greens condemn US attacks on Iran Scottish Greens condemn US attacks on Iran - Donald Trump is acting like a gangster on the world stage.

This is reckless and destructive behaviour from a White House that has shown total contempt for human rights, international law and negotiations.

As always it's civilians who pay the price.

Europe stands in full solidarity with partners across the region.

These attacks constitute a blatant violation of the UAEโ€™s sovereignty and a clear breach of international law.

And it is not the first time the UAE has faced missile and drone attacks from Iran and its proxies.

Just spoke to Mohamed Bin Zayed of the United Arab Emirates.

I conveyed our full support and extended our condolences following Iranโ€™s strikes and the resulting casualties.

Europe strongly condemns these unjustifiable attacks.

JUST IN: Josh Simons quits government.

Starmer: "to avoid any ongoing distraction from delivering the Governmentโ€™s mission, you have taken the difficult decision to step aside."
