Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

A tax of 2% on wealth over £10 million would raise £24 billion every year 🤯
This could be used to fund our public services properly - from schools to hospitals.
While Reeves says we must all “do our bit”, Plaid Cymru believes it’s time for those with the broadest shoulders to pay their fair share.

I emailed Nadia Sass the wife of the man who was charged alongside the former leader of Reform Wales, Nathan Gill, & she sent me a long reply..all about Nigel Farage.
The weird thing is that I didn’t ask her anything about Nigel Farage.

Rhun ap Iorwerth says party’s win was more than just rejection of immigration-obsessed Reform or rudderless Labour

UK politics live – latest updates
Plaid Cymru can offer a positive vision for Wales for voters who want to reject the divisiveness of Reform UK, the party’s leader has said after a triumphant Welsh parliamentary byelection.
Rhun ap Iorwerth said the 47% win for his party in the Caerphilly byelection was a rejection of Reform and its obsession with immigration, which, while important, did not overshadow more pressing issues, such as healthcare and housing. Continue reading...

Nazi-loving Daily Mail [that’s a factual statement BTW*] don’t like Ireland’s new president. Her repeating the words of the International Court of Justice & the UN Commission seem to have upset them. In the old days the Mail was the most anti-Semitic & fascist English newspaper! So little changes!

The Labour vote has totally collapsed.
It seems that in Caerphilly more people feared those who oppose immigration than the immigrants themselves.

C’mon @plaidcymru.bsky.social !
Reform have thrown everything at this by-election in Caerphilly.
Nigel Farage has been up multiple times including today. You can see that Reform were expecting a big party this evening.
This is a huge blow to them if they have lost.
