Self determination is about to get real in the UK:

‘#SinnFéin, the #SNP and #PlaidCymru have held a meeting at Westminster to discuss what they describe as “a new era of cooperation between Scotland, Wales and the north of Ireland”.

For the first time since devolution, the administrations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are all led by nationalist politicians. This has been seen as a step towards making the break-up of the UK more possible’

Plaid Cymru’s Rhun ap Iorwerth voted first minister of Wales https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/may/12/rhun-ap-iorwerth-plaid-cymru-sworn-in-as-first-minister-of-wales #WelshPolitics #Wales #PlaidCymru #Politics #UkNews #RhunApIorwerth

Welsh Labour wanting to blame 'Wokeness' for their defeat.... bye bye Labour, you lost to a Progressive Party, but you're only concerned with the Far Right votes you lost?

Lower speed limits protect children, but the Far Right doesn't care about that, like they don't care about the Global South.

I'm pretty sure the money for planting trees in Uganda came out of the White People's NHS budget, yes.../s

"The deputy leader of #PlaidCymru says the party is "absolutely not" considering a coalition with #ReformUK in the Welsh government.

"Plaid Cymru made big gains in Thursday's election and is now the biggest party in the Senedd with 43 seats, but it has fallen short of the 49 needed for a majority

"The party stands ready to form the next Welsh government and would consider co-operating with other "progressive parties" where there is common ground."

Discurso anti-imigração dá vitória histórica para extrema direita nas eleições locais do Reino Unido

@NicelyManifest I am annoyed with the voting system.

D'Hondt is better in many ways than #FPTP, but it gives far too much power to parties and it creates #WastedVotes. This year, the wasted votes have been for Labour and the Greens, handing ~4 seats to #ReformUK.

Much better to use #STV, as in Ireland, in Northern Ireland, and in Scottish local elections. There are no wasted votes in STV.

But I like the result. #PlaidCymru will be fresh, and I like minority governments. It keeps them honest.

Plaid Cymru tipped to be biggest party in Senedd, ending 100 years of Labour control https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/may/08/plaid-cymru-biggest-party-wales-senedd-labour-reform #Wales #WelshPolitics #PlaidCymru #LocalElections #May2026Elections #LocalElections2026 #LocalGovernment #LocalPolitics #Politics #UkNews #WelshElections2026 #ReformUk

ah no, they're back again, and giving a history lesson on the meaning of 'Fenian' and also a but of the old anti-colonialism there.
They intend to reclaim the word for Irish people, the ancient Fenians were a tribe of warrior giants and Kneecap wish to celebrate that rather than the English use of the word.

BBC Huw's Welsh ears have picked up on this, it's a big day in Wales today btw!

Welsh nationalists are poised for a historic election breakthrough.

For the first time in its history, the pro-independence Welsh party Plaid Cymru could top the Welsh Parliament in Thursday’s election.

The surge reflects not just disillusionment with rivals but a deeper frustration at years of being sidelined by London.

In the last few weeks, travelling through Mid #Wales I have seen:
Hundreds of signs for #PlaidCymru
About six signs for #WelshConservatives
One sign for #LiberalDemocrats
Zero signs for any other party

#WelshElections #Senedd2026, I’ll provide #media coverage on #Basque #radio. After #WelshLabour dominance, Wales may be entering a structural political transition: #PlaidCymru or #ReformUK are neck-and-neck.

#WalesElection2026 #plaidcymru #greenparty C'mon, Wales!!! Time to get your voting boots on - do we want our nation to be run by grifting fascists?

In case you're wondering, by grifting fascists, obviously I mean reform, directly, (and tory indirectly because being such a minority, they will almost certainly defect to reform with promises of power and riches.).

Anyway, back to my point - plan your strategic voting here:

"In Wales, Lord Hayward predicted #PlaidCymru, the Welsh nationalist party, will be the largest party in terms of both votes and seats in Wales’ Parliament, the Senedd."

"In Scotland, Lord Hayward predicted that the #SNP will be just short of a majority in the Holyrood Parliament."
