International Relations is NOT a devolved matter. Why are Plaid continuing Labour's policy of spending £9 MILLION abroad? That money should be spent here in Wales, on the Welsh NHS!

Let's talk about "gender neutral tree planting in Uganda".... Certain politicians in Wales are very angry that the Welsh Government is spending taxpayers money planting trees in Uganda. The Welsh Tories and Reform say they will cancel the project to put the money back in to the Welsh NHS. While it is totally legitimate scrutinise whether public money is being spent appropriately, the idea that cancelling the project will make any difference to NHS in Wales is just untrue. Ahead of an election we need to be talking about facts, not social media noise. The Welsh Gov spends about £270k a year on the project. That is 0.001% of the budget. The Welsh Tories have also said this is "gender neutral tree planting". Let's look at the real facts here:

In Wales, Plaid Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 falsely claims to be a Welsh Nationalist party. Here is the Plaid Cymru candidate Sahar Al-Faifi stating that the Niqab is "My Jihad". Here is the definition of the word Jihad - "A struggle or fight against the enemies of Islam and for the protection of the Islamic community." Plaid Cymru are fake Nationalists, pretending to care about the Welsh culture & language when infact they want to flood Wales with far away people. Rebrand needed, Plaid Islam is more fitting.

Mark Drakeford got really angry with the leader of Plaid Cymru Rhun ap Iorwerth in the Senedd (Welsh Parliament) yesterday This isn't a nice look. Welsh Labour are attempting to argue that Wales did well out of yesterday's spending review. While it is indisputable Wales got more money, it is hard to argue that long term historic injustices in funding have been fixed.

Illegal immigrants should be deported immediately - with no appeal. We should not be spending billions on housing and feeding them here. Labour's policy is to hide illegal immigrants in the welfare system - and lie to you about where they are being housed.

Illegal migration places huge burdens on Welsh taxpayers. Most Welsh people are deeply concerned. But not senior Plaid Cymru politician Heledd Fychan Plaid Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿. She slams those who speak honestly about the problems it causes, preferring instead to make Wales a "Nation of Sanctuary". This is the real Plaid.

In Wales, the BBC are trying their hardest to ensure a Plaid Cymru victory next week. Nigel Farage MP is right to point out that the ex-Plaid Cymru CEO is now BBC Wales’ director of programming, on £100k+/yr. All BBC coverage of this election should be viewed within that context.

🚨Many of Welsh Labour's Vaughan Gething backers have referred to his "excellent" work as a Health Minister during Covid today. It's both insulting and upsetting for us💛 Rewriting history whilst refusing scrutiny via a #WalesCovidInquiry is not a good look for The Labour Party. VG has only been questioned for 1 hr in the UK Covid Inquiry and that was revealing enough⬇️Wonder why Welsh Government are refusing a more extensive investigation of devolved matters here in Wales🙄🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 How did we get here?

New polling in Wales put Reform level with Welsh Labour. Of course many will focus on Reform but I think the big story is that Plaid Cymru are polling in 1st. A Welsh nationalist party (equivalent of the SNP in Scotland) is polling ahead of Labour for the 1st time since 2010.

Labour and Plaid do not know what a women is. Once again, I had to ask the Welsh Government why they still hadn’t adapted policy or advised bodies in Wales, after the law was made clear that “sex” means biological sex.

This is Leticia Gonzalez Estigarribia. She came to Wales just eight years ago. She is now a Plaid Cymru Senedd Member. You don’t have to be a British citizen to stand for the Senedd. Is Gonzalez a British citizen? If not, why should she be advocating Welsh independence?

Sir John Curtice, "The public have not reacted against the expansion of the state in the way both the Conservatives and Labour imagine they are doing" "All the evidence shows that the public are much more concerned about the state of the NHS, than they are about lowering taxation" "And frankly the Conservatives would be better spending money on increasing funding for the NHS that they spent on tax cuts, ending the junior doctor strike and getting waiting times down" "The public's priority is with a better NHS, not with the level of taxation"

Plaid Cymru wants the Senedd to control immigration via a Welsh Migration Advisory Service. Another quango, another layer of bureaucracy. Wales is facing a cost-of-living crisis, an overstretched NHS, and a housing shortage. Their priorities are never your priorities.

Here are 3 ways that the current system screws over Wales. If politicians are not talking about these issues, they are not serious about fixing Wales' problems. ---------- 1. The Welsh Gov has less borrowing powers than a council. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿Wales can only borrow £150m a year (and £1bn in total). That is the equivalent of just 0.57% of our budget. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Scotland can borrow £450m a year (and £3bn in total). This makes it really hard for Wales to make big investments like building hospitals and schools unless we use super expensive funding models like PFI. The worst thing is, Scotland's borrowing rates have increased with inflation every year since 2016 whereas Wales' have been frozen! ---------- 2. Wales’ can’t even spend its own money If Wales makes good financial decisions and has money left at the end of the year, it is only allowed to carry over a very small amount. The total the Welsh Government can have in the reserve is £350m. While that might sound like a lot, it really isn’t in a government context. The Welsh Government’s budget is £27bn. This means that the Welsh reserve is just 1.35% of its budget. And that £350m isn’t per year, that is the total it can carry. This means that if the Welsh Government reserve is full, then any money that isn’t spent is just taken back by the Treasury in Westminster. What makes this system even worse is that the UK Treasury has imposed limits on how much of its own reserves Wales can even use! Of the £350m Wales can only access £175m a year. Scotland has a reserve of £700m AND it has no limit on how much of that it can spend. Plus yet again, Scotland’s was linked to inflation whereas Wales’ wasn’t. There is simply no justification for Wales being treated differently to Scotland. The UK Government isn’t able to get away with treating Scotland like Wales because the Scots wouldn’t stand for it. ---------- 3. Rail Because rail is devolved in Scotland, when the UK Government spends money in England on rail, Scotland gets extra cash. Scotland gets billions of pounds in extra funding because of HS2 (which is only in England). But because rail isn’t devolved to Wales, the Treasury can class HS2 as an “England and Wales project” meaning Wales gets nothing. It is worse than that. Because HS2 is counted as a Welsh project, it stops Wales getting extra money in the future because on the spreadsheet it looks like Wales has already had investment (even though it all went to England). ---------- You could have the best politicians in the world in Cardiff Bay but they still couldn’t fix Wales’ problems because the tools at their disposal are not fit for purpose. The challenges Wales faces are not because of immigrants, they are because the system of funding we have is set up so that we can’t fail to fail.
