@SwanseaCouncil @WelshGovernment @SeneddWales @UWTSD @CoastalHousing Wokeism kills / destoys everything it touches. From the 'Arts' to 'PR' to those within the Media, its a Cancer on society. Kudos for calling this out!

@SwanseaCouncil @WelshGovernment @SeneddWales @UWTSD @CoastalHousing Well done Dan . I am not happy with this absolutely appalling on what is wrong with the people in Swansea. If I was living there I would try to wash it off. It looks like they are putting the Welsh against the Jews. But not in my world.😞🙏

@SwanseaCouncil @WelshGovernment @SeneddWales @UWTSD @CoastalHousing Swansea is a hotbed of antisemitism. Palestine flags are everywhere. A City Of Sanctuary that seems to be very selective about who is welcomed.

@SwanseaCouncil @WelshGovernment @SeneddWales @UWTSD @CoastalHousing Hi Dan! Scott here - we used to work together before you outed yourself as a bigot and were convicted of fraud. Shame how you've turned out but that's life eh. Just so you know, that's not Elysium's door. At least do some basic research...

@SwanseaCouncil @WelshGovernment @SeneddWales @UWTSD @CoastalHousing I have been in Wales, and I met so many lovely people. I think that radical Islamic Immigrants just took advantage of people's good hearts to gain acceptance. Now they want to take over, I hope you don't let them.

In Wales, the Welsh Refugee Council is using 12-year-old girls in ads meant to entice migrant men to come to Wales. Most members of this council are from the Middle East, India and Pakistan. I think I’m going to throw up.

Whilst at the Katie Hopkins event in Swansea, a lady came to ask us why we believe multiculturalism has failed. Naturally she wouldn't allow us to answer the question and went of in as many different directions as possible. Turns out this lady is crisis actor Shireen Al-Salihi who was born in Swansea and who's mother is also Welsh. (Proof in next post) Hope you enjoy :) Stan Voice of Wales

A Pakistani Muslim man, Sir Shoaib, has been fired by the Swansea Council for supporting Tommy Robinson 🇬🇧 and criticizing the rape gang perpetrators from his own community. Why is Swansea Council silencing those who speak out against rape gangs? Now Shoaib is in danger of being deported because he's lost his job when he's the kind of immigrant The UK needs the most. Please help support Shoaib's fight if you can by calling Swansea Council to complain and contribute to his cause if you are able at the link below. Full interview coming Wednesday.

The most insane thing I’ve seen with my own eyes! I’ve just come back from a much needed and long overdue family break. Whilst away, a boat load of hundreds of male Africans rocks up on the beach. Similar set up to the UK where the Spanish life boat goes out to meet them, bring them all in and get them on a bus to who knows where. If you voted Plaid, Labour, Greens or libs, this is what you voted for in Wales. If you didn’t bother going to vote, this is what you voted for in Wales. Shocking!

Whilst Caerphilly were solely voting to keep Reform UK Wales Reform UK out, this is what they actually voted in. "That is who we are as a party. Proudly Internationalist" meaning Gloabalist. "We see no boarders" & "let us continue to ask proudly what can we do to help, not where are you from". That's a lot of admissions in a 30 sec clip ay.

Reform have said they will not name a Welsh leader ahead of the Senedd election in 2026. Instead they say they will elect a leader afterwards?! IMO this is incredibly disrespectful to Wales. They are telling the people of Wales: "Vote for us, but if you do, you'll only find out who your First Minister will be after we win". Imagine going into a General Election not knowing who the Prime Minister would be if you voted for a party.

Why Indian students are turning away from America, explained by Fareed Zakaria "America has done this to itself. This is a $40-50 billion business and that is all going away. Now Indian students are going to Australia or the UK for a third of the price"

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.

$Something I hear a lot is that Wales gets a really good deal when it comes to funding in the UK. In some ways that is true. We get about £1.20 for every £1 spent on things like health in England. However, this is only part of the story. Though Wales gets more money per person on things like benefits etc, we are massively underfunded when it comes to Research and Development funding. Wales gets a fraction of UK Gov R&D funding compared to other parts of the UK. This is the sort of investment that actually improves prosperity and drives well paid jobs. Funding Wales gets for health is automatic whereas R&D is where the UK Government gets a choice on spending. Where they have a choice, they choose to shortchange Wales. If Wales was a sick person the current system keeps us on life support and stops us from dying while never allowing us to get better. Without changes to this funding formula, there is no way that whoever forms the next Welsh Government will be able to fix Wales’ problems. R&D funding should be more fairly distributed if this is to truly be a “United” Kingdom.$

I was recently on a panel with a senior Welsh Reform politician and we were asked about devolving the Crown Estate. He said that Wales shouldn't have more powers because "we are not very good in Wales at being efficient in running things". There are a few points I would make about the comment: 1. There are legitimate arguments for not devolving the Crown Estate. I chronicle them in my book. I do on balance believe it would be better for Wales if it was devolved (or at least the money from it was sent directly to Wales) but it is not inherently “anti-Wales” to be hesitant about the devolution of the Crown Estate. 2. However, the argument that “we are not very good in Wales at being efficient” is one of the most infantile descriptions of a nation I have ever heard, especially coming from a man/party who claimed they wanted to lead that nation. The idea that Wales and the Welsh are uniquely incapable of running something illustrates a level of self-hate and lack of confidence that we need to shed. It’s a narrative that holds us back more than almost anything. 3. Nothing says “I don’t think we will ever run the Welsh Government” like this statement. If Reform really believed they would one day have the levers of government at their disposal, they wouldn’t be so quick to deny Wales having them.
