Over 470 people arrested for sitting down and holding signs. Yet more evidence that the UK is quickly becoming a failed state.

The Labour government is a disgrace.

โ€ขWestminster betrays Wales - again!
In a letter to YesCymru, Welsh Secretary Jo Stevens MP, on behalf of the UK Government, has officially refused to transfer control of the Crown Estate to Wales.
Despite the backing of all 22 Welsh councils and the clear economic case for Welsh control over our own natural resources, Westminster says no.
Instead of trusting Wales to manage our seas, energy, and future, they're protecting the status quo - where decisions about Wales are made in London, and profits flow out of Wales.
This is not just a constitutional issue - it's about fairness, democracy, and economic justice.

Once again I ask the question what is the point of Welsh Labour?๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Labour donโ€™t care about us at all. @greenparty.org.uk is clear in its support for for the full devolution of the crown estate. More so @walesgreenparty.bsky.social is proudly Republican. We donโ€™t want or need a โ€œMonarchโ€โœŠ๐Ÿ’š

Map of Britain showing areas where people feel most disconnected from society around them. The highest levels being in the South Wales Valleys parts of Scotland and the North of England. Also some coastal towns in South East England.

Not surprising to see so many in the South Wales Valleys feeling disconnected from society around them.

Taken for granted for generations. The levels of deprivation and Child poverty are a disgrace. Labour and the other Neoliberal parties offer us nothing. We need @greenparty.org.uk policies.

All the Welsh Labour government seems to do is come out with pointless statements like this. Itโ€™s just words. Like so many of their announcements.

Meanwhile health inequality, child poverty, wealth gap etc. continue to grow in Cymru. Reject Labour vote @walesgreenparty.bsky.social โœŠ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ

2/2 I agree with the majority of what he has said in his PolticsJoe interview.

We need to not be afraid of upsetting people in our media. The status quo is dead and our communities deserve better than grifters like Reform. Greens must be able to convince more people that we are that change๐Ÿ’š
