This was one of the most bizarre press conferences I have ever been too.
Reform UK held a press conference and said they would not be carry out their jobs of sitting the Senedd today to defend the "free speech" of Joe Martin MS.
In that same press conference Mr Martin snapped "how dare you ask that question" after a WalesOnline journalist asked if the party was racist.
When challenged about this they walked away.
The party are missing their own debate on the Armed Forces and Veterans as well as a debate on the lack of a Welsh Covid Inquiry.

The increase in interest rates to 4% has “wiped out” the Labour Government’s meagre £100 energy bill support just two weeks after it was announced.

🤔 Andy Burnham talking about his favourite pint? No bother. His favourite crisp? Easy. His taxpayer funded polling on Scottish independence? Top secret.

The @ScotParl has just voted for the call to transfer broadcasting powers to Scotland.
We need a thriving national broadcaster that can be fully supported to represent our country, and it's time for the powers to be devolved to a Parliament that actually cares about it.

Of course he did. Palantir hired Tom Watson to schmooze his old pals. And he did.
There is no world in which Palantir helps boost "the UK's tech sovereignty". We need to know exactly how @YvetteCooperMP made this decision, based on what evidence & what data?
Palantir’s Tom Watson, ex-Labour MP, wrote to Yvette Cooper last month saying the controversial US company could help boost the UK’s tech sovereignty, letters show. Weeks later, sources say the UK is extending its NHS contract for two more years

Remember the fury of the Yoons at the formation of Police Scotland, the years of undermining and the refusal of UKG to exempt PS from VAT costing SG over £130m?
There’s a proposal to reduce England’s Police Forces to 8 and it’s now a jolly good idea.

I will give every ounce of political leadership I have to defeat racism in Scotland, and to stand up to the divisive forces of the far right.

Not a single penny of the UK Labour budget went towards supporting Scottish communities who rely on extortionate heating oil.
That’s why the Scottish Government have had to step in with the Emergency Heating Oil Scheme — and I think the Hon. Member knows it’s the right thing to do…
Not really a major surprise a man with a £700 million personal fortune whose family’s historic financial survival and early estate building were heavily subsidised by millions of pounds generated through the transatlantic slave trade doesn’t want to pay reparations….

Instead of cutting energy bills like they promised, the UK government is squandering Scotland’s vast energy resources.
The best way to put Scotland’s energy in Scotland’s hands, and cut your bills, is with independence.

🔎 Back in 2014 the Westminster Treasury rolled out ‘12 things that £1,400 UK Dividend could buy‘, we’ve looked at how much many of those items cost now as part of the UK.

For a young person at the beginning of their career and working life, then this budget is a cold, hard confirmation that this new iteration of a Labour government is no better than the last.
Young people in Scotland deserve to feel hopeful. They deserve to have ample opportunities — to earn, to save, to work, to contribute to our society and to feel as though they are being respected and rewarded in return.
That is not what this budget offers them.
That is not what this Labour Government offers them.

The UK Government seems to have double standards when it comes to Wales.
They seem to be arguing that more powers for Wales is predicated on them being devolved to a more local level than the Welsh Government.
UK Labour are seeking to impose a level of localism on Wales that they are not suggesting for England. A cynic might suggest this is because they are no longer in power in Cardiff Bay...
There are some clear inconsistencies here and it’s hard not draw the conclusion that Welsh devolution is being viewed completely through an English lens.
Let’s analyse three of these inconsistencies.

When other energy-rich nations are supporting their citizens and investing in their public services, why should Scotland put up with soaring energy bills and a £650 million cut from Westminster?
The only way to reach our full potential is with the full powers of independence.

FYI
🇬🇧The bbc have published ONLY 6 articles in relation to uk westminster’s shambolic ‘Ajax Armoured Car’ programme, squandering £6,300M
🏴The bbc have however published 55 (FIFTY-FIVE!) articles (and a ‘Documentary’) on the ‘SNP Bad’ Scottish Govs Ferries overspend (£250M)
Translation;
“We ran Wales for 27yrs & in 2026 were voted out, we’ll now go over the heads of the Government in Cardiff to undermine that result.”
(Same nefarious game they are up to in Scotland).
