Melin Drafod @melindrafod.bsky.social · 14h

Dyma dystiolaeth o mor ddiwerth ydy cardota am fuddsoddiad o Westminster - ar yr ychydig achlysuron ble rydyn ni’n llwyddiannus, briwsion sy'n dod i ni. Nid cymryd cyfrifoldeb ydy hyn ond israddoldeb. Rheswm arall pam y dylai Cymru fynd am annibyniaeth.

Carole Cadwalladr explains Russia’s influence on elections in the USA, the UK, and Wales, and why Nathan Gill’s story should be getting far more attention

www.thenerve.news/p/reform-uk-...

Oes unrhyw un wedi sylwi nad yw Reform byth yn awgrymu gwneud dim byd sy'n brifo pobl gyfoethog?

Anybody noticed that Reform won't reform anything if it would hurt rich people?
