NEW ITV Wales YouGov MRP has Plaid and Reform neck and neck in Senedd vote intention
Impossible to say who would be largest party in terms of seats but neither would be close to majority
Would almost certainly result in Plaid led government as they have more potential allies in the Senedd 🧵👇
This morning I’ve seen Olly Robbins’s appearance before the select committee described as ‘box office’, while a commentator flagged up another key political moment with the words ‘bring the popcorn’.
That’s one of our main problems right there.
For those interested in Welsh politics, this is a rather… frank analysis, by someone who served at the centre of Welsh Govt under successive First Ministers, of the events that have left Welsh Labour on the precipice of a historic electoral defeat next month #senedd26 #devolution #senedd
In case there haven't been quite enough red flags and alarm bells, here's another clear warning about Reform 🚨
"Reform UK will tell Welsh museums how to present history, manifesto says."

It's going to be even worse the next time they appoint Peter Mandelson
Dim pleidlais,dim llais 👇🏴 #Senedd26

It's a trap, they want to shop you to the FCA!
Two hooded figures with lamps approach a moonlit, isolated cottage. A woman answers the door. We have come for the child, says the hooded figure So soon? she asks It is time, says the hooded figure. The woman is distraught. We should never have got him a library card! What is done cannot be undone, says the hooded figure We couldn’t see the harm! We just wanted him to enjoy reading! For most, it ends there, says the hooded figure, turning away and walking into the wilderness Oh lord, What have I done! says the woman, the child walks past her and out into the darkness with them. Do not cry mother. I am a writer now.

This is just to say
I have collapsed
the lobbying group
you set up 16 years ago with Ben Wragg Prosser
And which
you were probably
saving
to line your own pockets.
Forgive me,
It was delicious
So lucrative
And so corrupt
Next time someone from Reform says the NHS is safe in their hands....
I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.
When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should resign if she had “any moral decency”.
Now we learn he set up four shell companies that let him avoid paying £100,000 he owed in tax and to then transfer the cash to Reform
What should have happened: the REIT paid no tax but the Tice companies holding shares in the REIT paid £98k tax on the dividends they received. What actually happened: none of the companies paid any tax.
Our new report: Richard Tice signed accounts wrongly claiming £98,000 of tax exemptions
A 🧵 with the evidence:
Rachel Reeves, Chris Mcdonald, Ed Miliband, Keir Starmer. All wearing fluorescent jackets.
Great how your phone gives you memories.
It's two years to the day since Rachel Reeves told me if Labour won the general election they would send the National Audit Office in to investigate the Teesworks saga.
The authority responsible hasn't published audited accounts since then, yet nothing.
A partially completed Wordle puzzle from some time ago. The first line is RIGHT, the second is GIVEN, the third is MINGE. The letters INGE on the third line are in green, meaning they are correct. The New York Times, however, is too afraid to admit that the correct answer is actually MINGE and it has gone for some feeble bullshit answer instead. Cowards.
This is where it all started to go wrong.
Clasur gan Bryn Fôn!
A ticket with ‘5 Geschlechtskrankheiten’
Not sure how this train booking platform works, or how this happened -
AI translated ‘STD’ meaning ‘Stunden’ (hours) into English as ‘Sexually Transmitted Disease’.
So it appeared as ‘Geschlechtskrankheiten’ on ticket.
