We are crying out for change in Wales... and it's neither red nor blue. It's any shade of Green.

Highest ever NHS satisfaction levels? 2010, Labour government. Lowest ever NHS satisfaction levels? 2024, Tory government. After 14 years the Tories have failed our most valued institutions. The country is crying out for change. #GeneralElectionlNow

Not the biggest fan of organised faith tbh. I think whatever you believe in is for you and you alone. If you want to meet others who believe as you do fair enough. It has no place in the education system ("Assemblies") nor should it have any place in politics.

Lets be honest here Wales: This is unlikely to change if Starmer gets into power. It's time we took our fate into our own hands. It's better to try our luck on our own as #indywales . There will never be a better time to push for Independence than when the Union is failing.

@bryanjaywalsh @SkyNews It's an extractive economy. Resource stripping to build up London and the Empire and we got a tiny cut of it back. You'd be a fool to think England isn't still riding that wave.

Think the issue here is that in Scotland the Crown Estates were devolved as a compromise in lieu of the Independence referendum. The government will draw this out and the only time we see more powers is as a bargaining chip against Indy. We wont ever get anything by asking.

Crown estate: why it’s time to devolve it and put Wales on par with Scotland The Scottish purse fattens each year via its natural resources. How is it justified that Wales doesn’t also benefit directly from its own crown estate assets? ✍️ @stephenclear

The struggle for Independence has always been the struggle of a people, despite our Kings overshadowing events. For me Llywelyn ap Gruffydd Fychan represents the people that history has forgotten and families who turned out and bled fighting /1

Hands up if you let your neighbour manage your household finances etc.? Imagine being told you weren't ready to do it or weren't capable of doing it... Because that's what they're saying.

The Labour Party has committed to the greatest devolution of powers since Labour first set up the devolved Governments. The Tories stole decision-making powers away from Wales. Today @Keir_Starmer announced that a UK Labour Government will give Wales its control back.

@Future_Cities This is Cadw cancelling scheduled events days ago. Can understand that many people may be ignorant of it due to Welsh history being sorely neglected. So maybe this is a prompt for you to learn more about Glyndwr, his day etc. ?

The thing about Welsh people benefitting from Empire is you've got to frame it in a way that doesn't piss people off. Clumsily shouting in some working class persons face "WALES BENEFITTED FROM EMPIRE!" is just counterproductive. It's a complex discussion to have and the best /1

Well the actual invasion is missing here. It even feels like it's suggesting that Norman rule was by invitation. Which it wasn't.
