  1. I've voted for the #greenparty before, many years ago. That was a protest vote. But in the #senedd26 election on 7th May I'll be voting #green because they give me hope for the future despite the dark times we are in. This vote will NOT be a protest. It's a vote FOR the party that I want to lead #wales youtube.com/watch?v=VPsR1hfTaAA

  3. The multi-tasker-in-chief of the @[email protected] has managed to put together some cracking analysis of today’s bombshell @[email protected] poll for #Senedd26 #Wales #Cymru 👇👇👇

  4. Interesting to see how this same effect is playing out in the English local elections and Scottish/Welsh national elections this May. Increasingly, the idea of any election being seen through and island-wide prism seems fraught with difficulty as the national polities diverge. #Senedd26 #Holyrood26

  5. Absolutely cracking post on WonkHE, a clear indication of the challenges for the new government #Senedd26 #Wales #Cymru "The question that raises is whether Welsh providers are functioning as a national system serving Wales or as overflow capacity for English demand" wonkhe.com/blogs/wales-...

  6. Our Newport Green Party action day went well. Ten brave volunteers set off in pouring rain to leaflet Shaftesbury ward. We were joined by Young Greens,Gwent Party members and local Newport vols. Also David Mayer our Malpas Ward councillor.
    Afterwards we met at Sip in Newport market for a hot drink and debrief. A great chance to get to know each other better.Altogether a good day

  8. Today is the first action day I've organised for Newport Green Party. I'm expecting about 10 volunteers to deliver leaflets in Shaftesbury ward.
    Checklist:
    Leaflets bundled into routes
    Wooden spoons
    List of vols
    Meeting place organised for coffee afterwards
    Wish us luck with the weather gods.

  10. There’s an increasing and very welcome degree of analysis of Welsh politics and the looming #Senedd26 election out there. We’re trying to fill the niche niche of combative analysis here, it’s very un-Welsh because there are no punches pulled. Have a listen and feed back! 👇 #wales #cymru

  11. Suffice it to say that UK Govt is clearly signalling a big fat “no” in its response to all from this from the FM, which further undermines her credibility inside the party and with the public. If a Plaid/Green FM had similar rejection, it would actually strengthen their argument. #Wales #Senedd26

  13. If you - like me - are totally baffled by the complete incoherence of the Labour Party’s positioning ahead of #Senedd26, this thread from RWJ shines a bit of light on the already glaring inconsistencies in the FM’s speech on Labour’s constitutional aims for the futurenof #Wales. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👇👇

  15. BBC Charter renewal is more important for #Wales than any other British country. It’s incredible that it is happening without a mobilised civil society effort to ensure that the unique provision of news, sport, art, and entertainment across BBC Wales/Cymru/S4C thrives post -2027. #Senedd26

  16. Irrespective of whether the kind of parochial nationalism of the new model and its livery tickles your fancy or not, the one amendment that this Rail Bill needs is to fully devolve the rail network and Barnettised funding to Wales, as in Scotland. Wales ought not be punished again #Senedd26

  17. Quite the thing to hear a sitting Labour Member of the Senedd suggesting that the UK Prime Minister should ditch the Labour Secretary of State for Wales in order to change the perception of the party here ahead of #Senedd26 #Cymru #Wales 👀

  18. This might sound like a ridiculous prospect, and Laura clearly thinks it is, but I wouldn’t necessarily rule it out. Especially if the labour party continues to find it brutally hard to make the compromises required to pass a budget. #Senedd26 #Cymru #Wales

  20. "Gwyn Alf Williams wrote “Labour’s old majorities stand like Aneurin Bevan’s memorial stones”, looking like the “Stonehenge of Welsh politics.” In Caerphilly, one of those stones has cracked; shifting political weather now threatens more monuments to Welsh Labour’s historic majorities." #Senedd26

  21. Really well worth watching this clip. Kirsty remains one of the Welsh Govt Ministers held in higher esteem by people who have worked with her. To hear her voice breaking as she describes the effect on her family of her political life is utterly heartbreaking. 👇👇👇 #Wales #Cymru #Senedd26

  22. Llongyfarchiadau Caerffili!

    #PlaidCymru has decisively won the #Caerphilly #Senedd by-election, with 47.4% of votes. It's a 27% swing from #WelshLabour and 11% margin over #ReformUK. The collapse of Welsh #Labour in its heartland is devastating, as is the wipeout of the #WelshConservatives.

    Plaid is confurmed as the leading force to oust the disgraced so-called "Labour Party" in #Senedd26, and Labour has lost its majority in the Senedd.

    100 years of Labour dominance in #Wales #Cymru is over

  24. … here we are in a FPTP election on the same footprint as Westminster constituencies and look where Labour are. This is a UK Labour problem as much as a Welsh Labour one. 2) Mark Drakeford wanted a STV system for #Senedd26 and so did Plaid Cymru. It’s the gold standard for proportionality… (2/6)

  26. It sounds mad to acknowledge this but we’re seeing the most successful party in the democratic world crumble. Welsh Labour have won every domestic election for 103 years and are now slumping to a distant 3rd in FPTP and close to the threshold of not winning *any* Caerphilly-esque seats in #Senedd26

  29. Interesting stuff here from Mark Drakeford that goes further than devolving the Crown Estate management (as in Scotland) but to essentially disestablish the Crown’s claim and essentially nationalise its assets in #Wales: Getting UK Govt buy-in would be tough, but winning a referendum…? #Senedd26

  30. Happy to confirm that our new Welsh politics pod is on the way filled with informative, astute, and what I would euphemistically refer to as “robust“ debate between Lee Waters MS, Prof Laura McAllister and former Conservative Special adviser Lauren McEvatt. We’ll be ready to share soon! #Senedd26

  31. As so many Senedd elections have essentially been under the radar of many citizens (and as the institution had so little actual power for the first decade), the parties rarely face pressure to include issues in their manifestos. Interesting to see local/regional voices begin to campaign 👇 #Senedd26

  32. Listening to a very clear Welsh Labour comment Jenny Rathbone MS (Cardiff East) on #WalesCast that goes beyond ‘Red Welsh Way’ sloganeering to an evidence-based call for good government. Westminsterism is the problem with Welsh policing and justice, not the solution. #Senedd26 #Wales #Devolution

  33. Pennod da eto gan @ybydyneile.bsky.social yn edrych ar y pleidiau gyda blwyddyn i fynd tan #Senedd26 . Mae Owain Williams yn edrych fel ymgeisydd da Llafur ac yn siarad mwy hyderus ac effeithiol na bron unrhywun yn y grŵp presennol! Gwerth ei gwylio/gwrando! 👇 youtu.be/rdlPYaWNEqo?...
