Brilliant result for Plaid Cymru in Caerphilly. The beginning of the end for Labour in Wales? Reform got beat too just like they got beat at Hamilton in Scotland.

Westminster think they have a veto on our Scottish #independence but they don't. Democracy can be delayed but ultimately it cannot be denied and 65 countries before us have extricated themselves from British rule. We just need to convince our own people and then it will follow.

Petition: Ensure plurality of political coverage across UK broadcast media at all times
We want to ensure that a plurality of views from all political parties in Westminster are represented and the nations parliaments are heard all year round, not just election times. The rules for coverage during elections should apply at all times.

We have been arguing against the normalisation of this kind of language in Britain for years, and this is the time to resist groupthink, to resist the slide into consensus and to take apart the arguments of the fascists. bellacaledonia.org.uk/2025/08/26/t...

It's clear #England dominates every aspect of the #British union, from the flag, the anthem, the Empire (an English project originally) and has control of #Westminster parliament. To claim the 1707 union didn't actually happen however is historically inept. #scottishindependence
