Well now I'm confused. I definitely remember the Welsh Conservatives telling us repeatedly that it was an 'anti-English tax'.
BREAKING: Tourist tax to be introduced across England.

The money raised is intended to be invested in local transport, infrastructure and the visitor economy to attract more tourists

Donald Trump and I have so much in common. For example, we both enjoy doing whatever Vladimir Putin tells us to.

My attendance record in the European Parliament was the 4th worst out of 751 MEPs, yet I managed to turn up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian misinformation.
Thankfully this is of no interest to the media.

The only reason Gill stopped being the Reform UK leader in Wales was because he failed to win a seat in the 2021 Senedd election.

Zia Yusuf keeps trying to make this sound like this is ancient history, and Reform washed their hands of him, but nothing is further from the truth.

Farage is speaking at Venue Cymru tonight.

Last revamped in 2018 with £1.8 million of EU development money and another £1 million in business development cash.

Original development also received significant EU funding.

Farage, by contrast, will give Llandudno nothing but hot air and lies.

Do I understand correctly that there is now a dispute within the administration about whether this "peace plan" was written by Russians or Americans?

Welsh history should be taught in England too.

The victor writes the history.
In the 1960/70s I was taught nothing about my history. It was and is “all about England”. Well times are changing. It’s time for the English to learn their history so long denied.

If Israel are launching airstrikes, that’s not a “fragile” ceasefire, it’s a broken ceasefire. Clue’s in the name, CEASE FIRING. You can’t launch an airstrike by accident!

Wales has lost out on billions of £ from Labour’s unfair spending decision 😏

Plaid Cymru calls on the Chancellor to deliver a budget that works for Wales.

This includes £4BN from HS2, a halt to damaging taxes on family businesses and farms, and action on high energy bills.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

“Brexit was a waste of money that, now more than ever, we simply cannot afford.”

The political refusal to admit how badly they screwed us over with Brexit keeps us trapped in inevitable, snowballing failure. We can’t let them dodge this reality forever.

Russia's ambassador to the UK, Yakovenko, boasted about Brexit to another diplomat:
“We have crushed the British to the ground. They are on their knees and will not rise for a very long time”
Today, Farage’s close ally, leader of Reform in Wales, was sentenced to 10yrs for taking bribes from Russia.
Brexit has caused almost twice as much damage to the UK economy than estimated by official forecasts, according to new paper from a group of experts including a senior Bank of England economist
