What do people in Wales really think that reform has to offer them?!
Where are we going as a country? We need to start investing within and we need to stop being an extension of England.
Westminster GE, #Wales was the only nation where Labour's vote share declined. Labour in disarray following First Minister Vaughan Gething’s resignation over a prolonged donations scandal. This turmoil presents a significant opportunity for the Party of Wales Plaid Cymru.

“All donations that originate from abroad, no matter who is the final donor, should be banned. Only UK citizens should be allowed to donate to British political organisations. This would, by necessity mean no donations from private companies; PLCs, LTDs, whatever.”

Under the proposal, donors would no longer be able to funnel donations to British political parties via UK companies

Good morning all! ☕️

This morning, I have a request.

I’m excited about the pro-EU community rebuilding on Bluesky with so much energy happening here. It’s *perfect* for what we need to be doing in 2025.

Therefore, could you please follow these local pro-EU groups

…and yes, I will make a list.

Labour is currently running a gruesome 'the Tories support open borders / flooded our borders' campaign.

Where are all the liberal cheerleaders of Keir Starmer, who rightly railed against the Tories' migrant-bashing?

Where's your impassioned anger, your fiery polemics, now?
