Welsh not whacky
Can't understand why all the empty shops + offices in our towns + cities are not converted into dwellings for people instead of tearing them down.
We need more Council houses in towns and cities, but instead Labour will concrete over the countryside to build more unaffordable mansions

If you care about our green spaces, our green belt, and our green fields, then you have to vote Green

Feeling physically sick to hear on the news Shabana Mahmood saying that “illegal migration is tearing the country apart” which she must know is not true. What’s “tearing the country apart” is the cynical entrepreneurs of fear and hate who have gleefully pushed this non-issue.

Let’s not forget when the Tories were last in office - according to international Human Rights Watch - the UK was on course to make the list of countries that abuse rather than protect human rights

We need to protect the ECHR, not leave it

Nigel Farage travels to the US to lick Donald Trump's boots once a month.

The Far Right isn't even British any more.

It is American, what a disgrace.

A senior Reform member who was their leader in Wales has pleaded guilty to 8 charges of bribery.

He took money from someone connected with the Russian Secret Service to make positive statements about Russia in the EU Parliament when an MEP.

So it's clear:

Vote Reform. Get Putin. Become a traitor.

Keir Starmer's aides are reportedly telling him not to go to the COP30 climate conference, because Reform would attack him for it.
Yes, they might.
And he should wear it as a badge of honour.
Standing up for humanity, for science and a habitable planet.
Where's the hazard in that?
