Time to take on the Daily Mail and this Labour Government.

Let's keep growing our movement with the joy of knowing we all deserve so much better - and we can make it happen.

Truth hurts, doesn’t it?

Starmer’s principles seem to blow with the political wind. It should be no surprise that Labour’s support is crumbling in Wales.

Peter Grimes @welshnatopera.bsky.social yn wych. Cynhyrchiad gwych yn llawn emosiwn! Yr unawdwyr, y corws a’r gerddorfa yn anhygoel. Tair awr o fwynhad. Angen diogelu dyfodol y cwmni.

I note that Starmer, Reeves & the official Labour party account are all noticeably absent from Bluesky.

I believe that is an act of cowardice - they don't want their policies challenged.

Rachel Reeves says there are β€œdifficult 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.

Germany urges Britain to rejoin EU customs union Call is at odds with UK Labour’s own post-Brexit red lines.

A reminder to the British press: Donald Trump just says stuff. Reporting what he says as though it’s fact will inevitably make you look like an idiot. There’s not going to be a US/UK trade deal imminently and Trump really doesn’t care about the UK, even if he likes being flattered.

Pope Francis, sensing he is close to death, moves to protect his legacy The battle to succeed Pope Francis is likely to be highly politicized, particularly given the pontiff’s recent clash with Catholic U.S. Vice President JD Vance.

Pope Francis is seriously worried about his health after being hospitalized with severe bronchitis, and is rushing to tie up loose ends ahead the battle to succeed him.

British politicians who choose the US led by Trump over shared security interests with Europe are making a colossal strategic error, I fear.

Fun fact: the tax exemption on red diesel (46p x 5bn litres) comes to a subsidy larger than all of the reliefs we throw at Film, TV and Video games, and about three times the entire Innovate UK budget!

It is a source of endless frustration for me that the fact Reform is a limited company owned by Nigel Farage isn't given more attention.

Every time that Reform or Farage are interviewed this should be probed and questioned.

They are held to such a lower standard than any other party.

Wales will accept nothing less than the Β£4.6 billion demanded by the Labour Secretary of State for Wales in opposition

Any lower sum is a pathetic sop to placate growing opposition to Labour’s failures in Wales

Running scared

926 peering out from the forest with the willows in all their fall glory.

Wolves aren't a threat to man, but man is most certainly a threat to wolves. Wolves eventually became mans best friend. I can't say as we deserve them, but they certainly deserve our respect.
