And Gills relationship with Reforms candidate at the Senedd by-election. Powell worked for and with Gill in the then Assembly and the now defunct right wing think tank Centre for Welsh Studies.

It is embarassing not to see the BBC pulling up Reform leaders claiming that Nathan Gill was just some fan who got photos taken with Farage - he was an MEP for them & their leader in Wales while taking cash from Russia to act against the UK! Literally the very basics of your job to point this out

I was fortunate to be present in the packed hall when Rhun ap Iorwerth set out the positive vision for Wales under a Welsh Government under his leadership. It was so refreshing to hear ambition for the future of Wales, filled with hope and a desire to improve the lives of ALL Welsh citizens.

Plaid Cymru @plaidcymru.bsky.social · 21h

It's time for new leadership in Wales.

A Plaid Cymru government would get to grips with the everyday issues facing our communities with our practical solutions.

Vote Plaid Cymru on 7 May 2026 for a positive change from Labour, and to stop Reform's divison. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Have a look at the now defunct Centre for Welsh Studies. A pro Brexit think tank set up by Llŷr Powell, Reforms candidate at the upcoming Caerphilly senedd by-election and Matt Mckinnon head of comms at Reform.

Palestine deserve to live in peace, securely. The destruction may be coming to an end but the hard work starts now. The world needs to ensure the people of Palestine can have a future in their homeland and that Gaza doesn’t become a real estate paradise for Trump, which was always his goal.

Yes we should celebrate the end of destruction and hopefully the end of Hamas' stranglehold on the people of Palestine. The cost has been huge. Over 1,000 Jews murdered on 7th October followed by the murder of tens of thousands of innocent Palestinian civilians, largely women and children. Hamas

Donald Trump is ordering extrajudicial killings of suspected drug smugglers.

He's vilifying his political opponents and threatening to jail them.

His ICE agents are terrorizing immigrants and firing chemical agents at peaceful protestors.

And some people think he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize?
