I'm really pleased that the accusations against Farage are quite rightly not going away. He appears very, very rattled and deservedly so.

This is very long overdue.

Big news:

1. Leaked Welsh Labour report shows what went wrong in Caerphilly.

2. Sec of State for Wales seemingly doesn't attend Welsh Gov summit because she wasn't given speaking roll.

3. I questioned UK Gov minister who told Wales to "be grateful" for terrible rail deal.

Germany claims to be getting ready to fight Russia, however it only plans to boost its military from 182k to 260k troops by 2035. It refuses to crackdown on Russian propagandists, it refuses to give Ukraine long requested Taurus missiles, and will start providing weapons to genocidaire Israel again.

Millionaires group urge Reeves to introduce wealth tax to ‘lift kids of out poverty’.

But Govts listen to the City type.

1% have more wealth than 70% of the population.
Poorest 20% pay higher proportion of income in taxes than the richest 20%.

Can't grow economic by squeezing the bottom 50%.
Why a group of wealthy Brits have urged Reeves to introduce a wealth tax
This appeal comes ahead of Reeves’s upcoming Budget announcement in Westminster later this month

Corporate funded think-tanks urge govt to cut benefits, pensions, schools meals, public spending; charge for seeing GPs.

Oppose taxes on the rich.

Support subsidies for auto, steel, film, shipbuilding, oil, gas, biomass, semiconductor, internet and other companies.

It is class war.

As we remember Aberfan, we are reminded that Wales’ coalmining communities still live in fear of another disaster.

While Reform are calling for the reopening of Wales’ coalmines, they couldn’t even be bothered to show up for this debate on the safety of our coalmining communities.

A reminder.

Only 6.9% of people in Wales were born overseas.

Just 2.9% of people in Caerphilly were born overseas.

Whereas 38% of medical consultants in Wales were born overseas.

Tories and Reform want to quit the European Convention on Human Rights.

Since 1980, the ECHR court has heard 29 cases of immigrant deportation. UK won 16. No defeats in the last 5 yrs.

Quitting ECHR won't fix illegal immigration, will destroy our freedoms and rights.

Nathan Gill is no fringe politician.

He was the leader of the Reform Party and before that UKIP in Wales.

A Brexit Party MEP.

A friend and ally of Nigel Farage, who in 2016 called him:

"terrific," and "as honest as the day is long."

This is a MASSIVE story
