In her own words, Labour and Tories both want Brexit and to end 'freedom' of movement. This democracy needs new parties. A vote for Tories\Labour is a wasted vote.

I could not be there today, so here is a thank you to all who were. If you don't speak Welsh yet I made subtitles. Thank you for marching against #Brexit today. #LeadnotLeave #KipperstoBoris #MarchForChange #LibDemSurge #LibDems

@mjeslfc @RabbiZvi How it is for a woman I cant say. As a gay man I cant remember the last time a gay space was not about Trans, or a place all attention easily given to. I fear our gays' pride. What anger comes for us? I pray heteros show us mercy for what we've helped open.

@RhonddaBryant You cannot have an union of 4 countries, where 1 country gets all the say and power. We must have reform or the UK is finished.

In learning French, Spanish, Dutch and Romanian... I find the Welsh Language's closeness to the land in placenames is nothing less than extraordinary. It's not found in English, or any language other than Welsh which ive yet come across.

Im saying now, if #plaidcymru runs council, and if Im on it, I will look at reopening a single stretch of #Cardiff 's canals as a beginning, so the future may create a #WelshAmsterdam if it chooses. @MatthewRHarvey1 @EsylltMeurig @PlaidCFWest @RhunapIorwerth @MathGW @MarchGlas

No wonder Culture Critic grows so fast. Modernity and social liberalism's extremes have utterly failed us. Our culture starves for beauty and traditional western knowledge.

Wales exists in a state of irony. For 100 years Wales has voted for a party which if left to its devices, will destroy the very idea that a Wales exists. Labour has now voted to harm our #Senedd , allowing London to erode it power. #Wales can do better, join #plaidcymru .

@UKLabour Labour has shown true change, away from Jew-hate, Marxism and anti-Western fringe groups. I am happier.

After learning/having deep contact with 15 languages... Im convinced the act of learning language (or music) is the single healthiest thing for the physical human mind. We need to give every child in #Wales the health benefits of total immersion in #Cymraeg . #NHS

@WilliamClouston This pro-Palestinian alliance of Marxists & Jihadists would turn Britain into a 1970s Lebanon with the traditional cultural majority caught between a civil war of emerging, rival extremists.

@PeterGrantMP @jessphillips English children cannot even say a few basic phrases in Welsh and Gaelic when they leave school. If you want to keep the UK together, it's basic stuff like this. Show us you care about us as nations, not regions.
