Welsh independence for me is no longer something that I feel is a nice-to-have.

I think it's a need to have.

Talking about independence is a catalyst for other issues that need to be talked about.

Shutting that conversation down is of no value at all.

My cat Cyril has been missing for 2 days and we are worried sick.

Shared on local groups, FB, with neighbours etc but a long shot to share here too.

We live in Newport, Gwent.

So far as Wales is concerned, it is wrong to characterise the Spending Review as a triumph. Having sought to do so is an act of dishonesty on the part of Welsh Labour and its UK boss party ✍️Martin Shipton wp.me/p8Mk4U-11aL

Wales’s economy under Labour: stagnant, centralised, unfit for the future ❌

Plaid Cymru’s plan is a bold alternative – one that puts communities first and brings wealth home to Wales ✅

Ambition. Fairness. The fresh start our economy needs 👉 partyof.wales/economy

At the moment, the world can feel very divided, and like it’s easy to see the lines that we may stand either side of.

But if we’re curious about what’s beyond badges we wear and the labels we give, we may find more to connect with.

Look for the helpers.
