So the UK government admits its massively underfunded Welsh railways but rather than paying the vast amount of money thats owed its not paying us a penny extra🤦‍♂️

Jo Stevens and Welsh Labour are utterly pointless and have failed us.

"Why should Brits have to cut back on food and other essentials, as many fear these hikes will require, to pay a privatisation tax to wealthy overseas shareholders?"

Water privatisation has failed, and we are the ones paying for it

Ofwat: Water bills will rise by £94 in the next five years
The increase in bills will pay for upgrades to pipes and reservoirs that water firms argue are sorely needed - but will also go towards paying investors.

The biggest obstacle to building more homes (that people can actually afford - that part always gets left out!) is not council planning committees.

It's the systematic underfunding and weakening of local authorities, and Labour is to blame just as much as the Tories.

I'm so grateful to everyone who put an 'x' by my name in this by-election.

It was obvious how many people were excited by the alternative @walesgreenparty.bsky.social
was offering, and we're not going anywhere.
Llongyfarchiadau @samcoatescymru.bsky.social and the Cardiff Greens team on a strong second place in a very contested by-election.

A result that shows Wales Green Party well on track for success in the 2026 Senedd election.

Coal tips, climate chaos, and the Crown Estate in Cymru

Profits from the country’s natural resources – drawn on more all the time due to climate change measures – could make communities safer and more prosperous. So why don’t they?

Thoughts to those who have been evacuated from their homes in Cwmtillery following the landslide. Hopefully nobody has been injured due to the quick actions of the emergency services.

A reminder that despite hundreds of coal tips still being classed as unsafe across Cymru. Labour only allocated 1/2
