If this is Reform’s idea of manifesto material, it tells you everything.
A party that chooses its own version of history isn’t fit to lead - it’s controlling the narrative.
This isn’t cultural policy, it’s culture-war bollocks.
We’re better than this 🏴

Cornelius Thunderstone Coalition is not democratic, that's strategic cheating ... If one party comes out on top then that should be the party that wins ... This is just a bunch of WEF commies securing their future whilst all of us will suffer and yet the general populace will still want the boot bigger so they can lick more ... Makes me sick what's happening to this world and only the thickos that vote these commies in can't see it ... It's unbelievable the brainwashing of the unwashed! 3h Like Reply

Owen Williams Cornelius Thunderstone "If one party comes out on top then that should be the party that wins" is literally what you wrote. You've clearly never paid a blind bit of notice to 26 years' worth of Sened and Assembly elections, as no party has *ever* achieved a working majority. Every single Labour government has needed to do deals with other parties to get budgets or policies over the line. Achieving the greatest share of the vote has *never* meant "running the government". It's entirely down to numbers of seats - and Senedd electoral mathematics make it almost impossible for any party to get more than half the seats. It was ever thus. 1h Like Reply
If you ever need a reminder of how poorly the Senedd is understood, a quick scroll through the “Welsh Politics” Facebook page will do it.
BREAKING: WALES BOYCOTT TRUMP'S WORLD CUP.
Never heard of it.
Text from the New York Times story, "Saving Hermit Crabs by Breeding them in the Suburbs". "She began to see them in new ways. They are social animals that thrive in family groups. They require large spaces with hamster wheels for exercise, display distinct personalities and communicate with unique chirps. Like parrots and ball pythons, they can live 50 years. “They’re voiceless, misunderstood, elegant, incredible creatures that nobody cares about,” Akers said in her makeshift lab, where bright aquariums line the walls. In one, Fernandina, a stately, purple, baseball-sized crab around 40 years old, unfurled herself from a coconut hut. “They live so long, they must have some knowledge or sentience.” It pains Akers and her crab-loving friends that so many hermit crabs are denied the chance of a long life. Some store owners toss them out at the end of the beach season if they aren’t sold. “It’s ingrained in that boardwalk mentality that the crab is for the summer,” said Stacy Griffith Wodicker, of Fairfield, Ill. Her organization, the Land Hermit Crab Owners Society (motto: “Good Friends in a Pinch”) helps rehome unwanted pet crabs."
Well this article about hermit crabs has made me sad this morning.
I do feel that when you get to know any animal, no matter how humble, you will start to see it as interesting and special.

"A major story that probably doesn’t get talked about enough is the reality that the president of the United States is, well, out of his mind."
New poll in Wales, this time with constituency level estimates from YouGov(🥳). Polling in Wales has been pretty noisy over the last 24 months with some big house effects, but the general vote intention trend is clear - May 2026 is a two-horse race between Plaid Cymru and Reform
*rant incoming*
"We should be doing it more thoughtfully, and more slowly" says lady in this article....
No. We shouldn't. We've had fifty fucking years to do things carefully and slowly and what that's mean is that we've done bugger all in that time to even keep pace with climate change (1)
The Reform candidate for Caerphilly is a liar.
Your legislators are dumbasses.
Welsh Govt has NO control over Immigration.
Voting Reform in the Welsh General Election because you’re cross about small boats on the Kent shoreline is utterly mindless.
(And before some lunatic mentions ‘Nation of Sanctuary’, it’s just a resettlement scheme for people granted asylum by UK Govt)
In 387 AD, a saint was born in Banwen, high in Wales’ Dulais Valley. He would become the Celtic world’s most iconic figurehead. To his adopted Irish home and kin, he is known simply as Saint Patrick ✍️ Owen Williams
This very straight news piece buried deep within the FT never uses words like corruption or insider dealing but every detail is quietly devastating. Why is the FT virtually alone in the UK media in covering this important story?
Again, this isn’t the point. We’re at an ideological impasse here.
“UK taxpayers pay for it anyway” isn’t the point.
The question is who exercises democratic authority over devolved policy. Voters in Wales and Scotland elect institutions to do that.
If Westminster spends around them whenever it feels like it, devolution is a courtesy rather than a settlement.
The UK is a sovereign state and a political union. Scotland is a country.
You realise that the executive and the legislature are two different concepts, right?
Either we have national governments in our own country elected to make decisions on our behalf, or we have a government in another country overruling our own. Regardless of your personal dislike of either the SNP or Plaid, you surely have to recognise the disconnect?
Starmer directly refers to overriding devolved governments. That’s not coordination, Alex.
UK Government legislating in devolved areas is a direct threat to the devolution that Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland’s electorate voted for.
It’s an anti-democratic (verging on authoritarian) position for Starmer to take.
That’s not what the memorandum says.
I refer specifically to this:
“early engagement with the Cabinet Office Union and Devolution Directorate on the design and delivery of policies UK-wide, particularly when considering the use of the Financial Assistance Power or legislating in devolved areas”
Scotland set the legal precedent in 2011. We’ll get a referendum if Plaid add it to their 2029 manifesto and win the subsequent election.
It all depends on the governments we elect after independence, doesn’t it?
Welsh Government is legally-bound to provide a refugee resettlement scheme under UK Law. It created Nation of Sanctuary to support the people sent here by UK Government. Scotland and Northern Ireland also have their own resettlement schemes. The only way a future Welsh Government can ‘opt out’ of providing a resettlement scheme is for Wales to leave the UK.
If in doubt, share it out. 🏴
He should be censured by the Electoral Commission for this utter nonsense. Deliberately dangerous disinformation.
Starmer doesn’t lead Welsh Government and isn’t standing for election to the Senedd.
Challenge based on the facts, not fantasy.
He clearly doesn’t know what the Senedd is.
