This year I've been collaborating with others on the @Price_3OO celebrations to commemorate the tercentenary of Wales' greatest thinker, Richard Price. It's been a great year & to finish off I thought I'd share a🧵on his amazing life, captured in @BerrystraBe's portrait. 1/11

1 million % true.
It seems that very few of those in power at our councils and at the Senedd have a disability, or a family member with one, and it shows. If they had, we'd have our pavements back overnight ✍️ Stephen Price

In March there was a vote in Parliament to make a paltry two weeks of paternity leave a statutory right for all new fathers. Rupert Lowe didn't bother to turn up to vote.
Giving birth is obviously an incredibly challenging experience for the mother - trust me, nobody is denying that. I do think though, that fathers should be shown more respect by the NHS during the whole process. No food provided, no basic bedding, nothing. The father is having

This man is a psychopath and would be in jail in any vaguely sane democracy. Instead he is a proudly fascist Minister in Israel’s government. And one of the most racist human beings there has ever been - and I grew up in apartheid South Africa. This is what the West is
Bound and tortured Palestinian hostages Israel's National Security Minister Ben Gvir: “Do you see them? This is how they are now, but one thing remains to be done and that is to execute them” This is what the US, UK and Europe support: https://t.co/u98vl9iyEV

Just five random picks from the Reform manifesto… - Reject the World Health Organisation. - Stop Universal Credit. - Scrap the Equality Act. - Change the definition of hate crime. - Lower Housing priority for disabled people. Lovely bunch of open minded folk aren’t they?

The TLDR here is that this Labour UK Govt will spend over 10 years a sum of money that is less that 10% of what the UK Labour Party used to claim Wales is owed from HS2 alone from Opposition. From proportionality to peanuts in the space of months. Doesn’t bode well for 2026.
The UK Government is investing £445m into Welsh rail to unleash Wales’ economic potential. 🚆 Watch Wales Office Minister @annamcmorrin tell her first Welsh Questions how this will mean new stations, better services and improved access to new, well-paid jobs.

If they’re just going back to 1970s anti-Welsh rhetoric, fuck em. Not a tactical voting emergency in the world would make me lend my vote to Labour if they’re just going to parrot the Conservatives. Not a surprise they’re doing a budget deal with them.

There was Essex Man and Basildon Man. Now it is time for Caerphilly Man.
A local Caerphilly man has spelled out exactly why Reform fell to defeat in the local by-election in the Welsh town this week. Lindsay Whittle was voted Senedd MP for Plaid Cymru after winning 47.4% of the vote. 👉 https://t.co/9I7xFgKWU7

My @WalesOnline take on the Caerffili by-election and the implications for the parties six months out from a Senedd election:
walesonline.co.uk
The Caerphilly by-election was 'catastrophic' for Labour, 'convincing' for Plaid and signals 'a problem' for Reform. So what does this all mean ahead of next year's May polling day?

The Caerphilly Senedd by-election win for Plaid Cymru is indicative of dissatisfaction that reaches far beyond the town’s boundaries. We should remember that Reform can still capitalise on this anger...
