Plaid have won a massive victory in the Caerphilly by-election beating Reform comfortably.

The Labour vote has totally collapsed.

It seems that in Caerphilly more people feared those who oppose immigration than the immigrants themselves.

A reminder.

Only 6.9% of people in Wales were born overseas.

Just 2.9% of people in Caerphilly were born overseas.

Whereas 38% of medical consultants in Wales were born overseas.

Immigrants are not holding our NHS back, they are propping it up.

I have written to Lisa Nandy, following her grossly misleading comments over the Maccabi Tel Aviv ban.

This is about a group of fans with a history of racism and violence. It is not about banning Jewish people - and any attempt to conflate the two is shameful.

47% of Britons think there are more “illegal” immigrants in the UK than legal immigrants, despite only making up 4% of the overall figures!

My latest article outlines some reasons for this.
Why do you think this could be?

According to YouGov, 47% of Britons believe there are more "illegal" Migrants than "Legal" Arriving in the UK despite "illegal immigration" representing only 4% of the numbers. Why is this?

I've 2 water companies. UK and Spain. Both face droughts.

One publicly owned. Pays no shareholders. Reacted by making massive urgent investment in future water supply.

The other implemented a hosepipe ban and sent millions of £ to private owners in 6 months.

Guess which is Yorkshire Water.

Welsh 20mph limit has cut road deaths and serious injuries and reduced car insurance.

‘There is, perhaps, a lesson here for politicians, although not an easy one: sometimes it can be best to ignore the noisiest voices, and take the evidence-based course.’

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
