Labour are dancing to the tune of Reform's cruel agenda on asylum.
These proposals, including confiscating personal belongings, will punish people who have already endured unimaginable hardship and will create further divisions in our communities.
Plaid Cymru rejects such performative cruelty.

Helsinki-based Scots filmmaker Gavin Hanigan & myself have spent a week filming to tell Finland’s incredible story. Despite famines, wars, a meter of sea ice half the year & the perennial threat of Russia, these modest people are quietly top performing. A great model for Scotland

Re the "march" in London. For contrast...in2022 aprx 10,000 people marched peacefully & inclusively for "yes cymru" in Cardiff so ABT 0.33% of Welsh 3m population....0.33% of England's 58m pop is abt 200k people. So circa 100k, a lot less turned out in London relative to pop.

I'll say this for Kash Patel compared to the rest of the US administration:
At least he *looks* like a man who is incredibly aware that he has been promoted far beyond his ability, and is terrified that he might get found out.
I wish this level of self-awareness was more widespread.

Celebrating 10% tariffs is like celebrating a bully has only kicked you once because they’ve kicked your friend twice.
With the USA becoming an increasingly unreliable economic partner, we must strengthen ties with Europe and rejoin the Single Market and Customs Union.

Has anyone noticed how Labour and Tories are completely aligned on reductions in benefits?
When I see their respective spokespeople on TV I find it hard to differentiate between Tory and Labour.
They look and sound identical.
There is another way.

The Secretary of State for Wales was willing to stand up to such “despicable” Tory cuts in 2015.

Denying refugees citizenship simply on the grounds that they arrived here “illegally” on small boats *when there are no legal routes* for most to use takes cynicism to new heights. If Govt thinks such performative cruelty will see off Reform, they’re wrong - it’s more likely to strengthen it

Protecting and promoting the language is essential for the cultural and economic future of our island.
