Some of these make for bleak reading (especially the headliner, but that's no surprise) but here's a good summary of what the different #Welsh parties are pledging regarding #museums and #heritage: https://www.museumsassociation.org/museums-journal/news/2026/04/reform-pledges-to-end-political-indoctrination-in-heritage-in-wales/

I sent off my postal vote for the #GreenParty in the #senedd2026 elections today. Stop the fascists of Reform. Hope, not hate! #wales #walespol #antifascism https://wales.greenparty.org.uk/manifesto/
-
I need to send off my Senedd postal vote and I am so unsure of who to vote for.
Plaid or Green. I just want to keep Reform out.
-
We did it, #Caerphilly, we beat Reform!
-
Gosh.
Resounding victory for Plaid on 47.4% to Reform's 36%. Labour crushed on a mere 11%, and Tories down to 2%.
Bitter pill to swallow seeing us lose Hefin's seat, but Reform represents an existential threat to our democracy and I am very glad that Plaid prevented them from taking it.

50.4% turnout, blimey.
Some optimistic noises coming from Plaid, especially around youth turnout.
I'm still predicting disaster, but if it's one in which voters abandon my party for Plaid while rejecting Reform, I'd be content with it being a disaster merely for my party rather than for my country.

#Caerphilly goes to the polls today to elect a new Member of the #Senedd. Reform UK have dominated in the run up. I hope everyone will join me in voting for @plaid_cymru_bgcr Lindsay Whittle: as well as actually caring about Caerphilly, Plaid are best placed to beat Reform and keep English nationalism and racism out of Wales.

You know you’re a fan of #WelshPolitics when you find yourself part of the ultras making the trip for Vaughan Roderick & Richard Wyn Jones (a).

This really is a landmark poll.
Independence for #Wales is now a realistic prospect.

"Whilst a third of children in Wales are growing up in poverty, with cash-strapped local authorities buckling under economic strain, money from our Crown Estate is extracted from Wales to Westminster and the Royal Family"

“Economically inactive” bugs the shit out of me.
When you’re poor, you spend all your money. Only rich students or students with rich famiies (yep, I’d argue there’s a distiunction) can be full-time students without at least one part-time job.And disabled people? We spend all our money on shit to make life slightly less miserable.
Carers similarly so, except they barely get a mention. They complete administrative dialysis for themselves and a whole other person — or people! On top of that, they do any personal care, medical care, etc that most people actually imagine from the phrase “unpaid carer”.
The only “economically inactive” thing about anyone subjected to life in an economy is rich people who hoard their money for clout. Each anxious attempt to swipe resources “for later” impoverishes us all AND the rich people acting on their emboldened impulses.

I read recently about an idea to bring back wartime 'British restaurants'.
I'd love to see the Welsh political parties consider this for #Senedd manifestos.
Imagine in every town a warm place to get a very cheap, nutritious meal. Menus designed to be healthy, low waste & low carbon. Ethical, seasonal & local ingredients. Supporting a Welsh food culture. Creating jobs, improving wellbeing and reducing poverty. Lower burden on NHS.
Or is this pie in the sky?

For those who are interested, the Democracy and Boundary Commission Cymru has published initial proposals for Wales’ new Senedd constituencies. The recommendations are for sixteen constituencies to replace the current forty constituencies and five regions

Da iawn #MarkDrakeford - a brilliant and passionate speech on behalf of the most vulnerable in society. His #WelshLabour colleagues and #WelshGovernment should reflect long and hard on his case for reforming school holidays to help children in the poorest families.

Martin Shipton’s articles in Nation.Cymru usually have more transphobic dog whistles than a Harry Potter themed section of Crufts, but he’s really going for it today. Most of this article is literally just a direct quote from LGBA Cymru

Tata threatens to withdraw their "generous" redundancy offer if Port Talbot steelworkers go on strike
We need to renationalise the steel industry, although obviously that isn't currently likely to happen

@fkamiah17 I heard Ken Skates on #BBCRadioWales this morning. Really disappointing - clearly moving towards a Tory-lite agenda that doesn't recognise the need for radical change away from climate and society-wrecking car dependency. Credit to #LeeWaters for trying to change things. Now I'm depressed. #GoodMorningWales #WalesPol #ukpolitics #WelshLabour #Labour #transport #Senedd

Plaid Cymru are going to nominate Rhun ap Iorwerth as the new Welsh First Minister
This should be interesting, although it's embarrassing we've got to this point (and Vaughan Gething's still going to be nominated anyway)

Vaughan Gething will be the new First Minister. He ran a dodgy campaign and Jeremy Miles had a better platform. Expect less transparency and less willingness to stand up to Westminster

I'm not a #Labour supporter but I have a lot of respect for Mark Drakeford.
He's acted with honesty and integrity. He's always tried to do the right thing for people, sometimes in face of harsh criticism and short-term unpopularity.
The contrast between his reassuring and sensible approach during Covid with Boris Johnson's was stark.
Big thanks for him for working hard for Wales and I hope he enjoys whatever lies ahead.

No offshore wind projects were successful in the renewable energy auction, including Wales' first offshore floating wind farm, Erebus, because the government set the maximum price for generators too low
