What an utter waste of time. It doesn’t matter how much evidence you gather when Westminster Red or Blue have no intention of listening to it.
The Welsh Government has announced the composition of a new expert group that will examine options for reforming how the Crown Estate operates in Wales

Once again, Westminster is bypassing Wales in areas that are supposed to be devolved.
Only #indyWales gives us the powers needed to improve people’s lives.

👥 The ECHR exists to protect our most fundamental rights.
Chipping away at it to pander to the far-right risks undermining those core values.
Labour are trying to out-Reform Reform on immigration, but our human rights should never be sacrificed for political point-scoring.

Services have been taken over by thieves who not only refuse to do basic maintenance but constantly increase bills to make more profit.
This in turn destroys the economy, as there is constantly less and less money for everything else, as Water, Power, Rent, Banks... steal it.

The UK Railways Bill going through the House of Commons today does nothing to address the decades of underfunding of Welsh railways.
Plaid Cymru is clear: Welsh rail should be in Welsh hands.
It’s time to end this injustice and devolve rail to Wales.

Hence Harold MacMillan claiming "you've never had it so good"; he kicked the can down the road, and now comes the Reckoning. If only we'd had a bonanza (like Norway) which allowed for a sovereign wealth fund - and leaders with the appropriate vision 🤔

Remind me again why we need nuclear reactors?
Wales already generates twice as much energy as it consumes. Independence would allow Wales to take charge of its energy, ensuring Wales’ needs are prioritised over Westminster’s interests.

For more than 45 years, the UK has suffered not one, but two economic curses: the resource curse and the finance curse. Both were chosen, primarily by Margaret Thatcher.

London: 7°C - Pitlochry: -2°C
Yet the person freezing in Pitlochry pays more for electricity — electricity generated in their own town.
Meanwhile, London, which produces almost none, pays less.
This isn’t just unfair. It’s exploitation. And it’s happening in Scotland every single day.

Wales was promised that things would improve under Labour’s ‘partnership in power’.
But Wales still hasn’t received the billions owed from HS2, no control over our natural resources, and hit hardest by Labour’s taxes.
