One today, and the other three years ago.

She said she defected from the Conservative party because it was "unrecognisable" to her.

This suggests that perhaps it's also herself who has changed.

Just fyi, the Nation of Sanctuary costs costs of 0.038% of the Welsh Gov's budget.

Politicians are using Ukrainian refugees as a political football.

The Welsh Conservative leader says he is against Wales' Nation of Sanctuary policy.

But this wasn't always his position...

It seems his morals have changed because he is worried about Reform taking his votes.

Here is a pic of former Reform leader in Wales Nathan Gill, who has admitted taking Russian bribes between December, 2018 and July, 2019.

He is alongside the current Reform candidate for Caerphilly Llyr Powell at the EU election count in May 2019.

Mr Powell had previously worked for Mr Gill though wasn't at the time of this photo. He was a volunteer as a counting agent for the Brexit Party.

Mr Powell has denied any knowledge of Mr Gill's crimes at the time saying he "found it a complete and utter betrayal".

Outrageous Welsh Conservative hypocrisy This is shameless

Remember that pic of the Caerphilly Reform candidate which looked edited?

Well I asked Reform UK about it.

Apparently it wasn't edited. The party indicated that the camera "glitched" which happened to "glitch out" of the photo the former UKIP politician and Reform supporter Mark Reckless...

How unlucky that a camera would "glitch", edit out one person and replace them with a giant walnut.

On the same day that photo was taken and the camera "glitched" it seems that a man named Stan Robinson from the group "Voice of Wales" was in Reform's Caerphilly office.

O, 'Traethodau ac Areithiau' R.J. Derfel.

We'll stick to our language and country
And we'll tell all of our enemies,
That the Welsh language shall outlive the world
And then outlive the heavens.

"In the last Senedd election the anti-devolution party Abolish got less than 2% of the vote. The Welsh have repeatedly voted for devolution in referendums. It seems that for Jones et al, it is fine to dismiss the democratic will of the people as long as they are Welsh." 💯 @willhaycardiff.bsky.social

So politicians want rid of the Senedd: would they abolish any other country’s democracy? | Will Hayward The Welsh parliament has its faults – but talk of axing it is for charlatans, not leaders who are serious about the nation’s future, says Guardian columnist Will Hayward

I am getting sick of certain politicians telling the people of Wales that they don't deserve their own democracy.

Let’s stop discussing whether Welsh democracy is allowed to exist, and focus on how to make it work.

Such an important piece by @willhaycardiff.bsky.social

Why, uniquely, does Cymru have to justify our democratic institutions? Over and over and over again.

This is still gaining signatures, but it expires 11 Sept (this Thursday), and it's nowhere near the 100,000 needed to be considered for debate in Parliament.
What happens next? Here's 20,000+ Cornishmen will know the reason why, but it seems that's not enough... where do we go from here?? 😳

I'd genuinely arrange a safe march (on foot or otherwise, informing the relevant authorities) of 20,000 Cornish folk from Cornwall to London to show that people are serious about it and willing to do more than just click a link👀

In one Norse saga, there's a reference to an event happening "und Harvaðafjöllum" – 'under the Harvaða mountains'.

This unique mention of "Harvaða" is thought to refer to the Carpathian Mountains, from a borrowing of Latin Carpatēs so old that it shows the effects of Grimm's law on the C, P and T.
