The English National Party is an existential threat to Wales, our culture and language.

These people shouldn't be in Parliament, they clearly have their own interests which are not anyone else's at heart.

PR should be the sole universal standard representing true democracy. As we're currently seeing over in the US, spiteful manipulation and gerrymandering will only increase in a bid to sustain a two-party state. FPTP unacceptable denies democracy in a modern society.
In the past, the British public were reluctant to change the voting system.

This has shifted dramatically.

Now 60% of people want change, including supporters of all major parties. It's time for PR.

Margaret Thatcher gave most major UK airports including Heathrow away to her 'consortium' of friends for nothing.

Who does that, gives away something so valuable for nothing?

Thanks everyone for picking up the mantle. Just one extra person per current signatory to sign and we will get to 10k. Then we’ve got a significant figure from across the UK to put to GVMT, DCMS, OFCOM and broadcasters. (See map) Plural coverage now. Sign! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

Cymrophobia, alive and well amongst some in Lloegr. Farage, Rice et al, whilst openly critics Welsh customs and culture, continue to drive that wedge which promotes independence

They told us we’d lose nothing.
But we lost the right to live, work, study and retire across 30 countries.

Freedom of movement wasn’t a luxury. It was our right. And they stole it.

We want it back.

It’s remarkable how some English speakers take the piss out of Welsh “where are your vowels?”, “all your place names are unpronounceable”. This from speakers of a language that gave us this… sit down and take a deep long look at yourselves you speakers of gibberish…. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

If you don’t want history to be re-written please share this video widely - because the only way to stop that happening is to constantly call this boll**** out with the actual facts
If UK news shows are going to give Nigel Farage a platform to spout this absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it

We cannot allow them to rewrite history.

If you agree share this FACT CHECK widely

NO Nigel Farage - the vaccine rollout was not helped by Brexit

My latest Guardian piece.

Until I moved to Wales, I never knew how badly it was treated.

Working at a journo it became clear that not only is Wales treated like less of a country than Scotland, but that it has come to just accept this poor treatment.

The most infuriating thing isn’t that Wales is treated as a non-country – it’s that we accept it | Will Hayward
From the the Barnett formula to the humiliation of having an English ‘Prince of Wales’, you’d never catch Scotland allowing this treatment, says Guardian columnist Will Hayward
