🚨The EU says it’s ready to engage on a customs union and the single market.

The barrier isn’t Brussels. It’s the Labour UK Government.

Wales has lost billions from Brexit. It’s time to rejoin the Single Market and Customs Union to rebuild our economy and protect Welsh businesses 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇪🇺

A wonderful session on Saturday at the Glynn Vyvian gallery in Swansea. We were spoiled with two excellent and very different models. Here are the longer poses by Lloyd.

Same in the UK, probably getting worse with the disappearance of ‘intellectual’ Tories & Reform’s glorification of pig ignorance. I never know how to articulate this without making the problem worse! (As demonstrated above.)

Like it or not it is 100% an issue appropriate for being discussed at a governmental level and politicians would be delinquent not to get involved
