8 Reform UK candidates made a wide range of offensive remarks about women including criticising the murdered MP, Jo Cox, describing a reality TV contestant as a ‘black bint’ and claiming the former Prime Minister, Theresa May was ‘Merkel’s bitch’ - more on @BBCNews soon

👀👀. So now also the chief data officer. This is fast becoming worse than partygate.

Out in Canton twice today! Lots of concern about the state of our services... under Keir Starmer's Labour we are looking at a nearly a billion pounds lost from the Welsh budget! Save our services in Cardiff West, and elect me to be your @Plaid_Cymru MP on the 4th July.

Disappointed to see a senior Labour politician in Wales laugh at people being unhappy about parachute candidates. If you wanted to get involved with my locally run campaign in anyway, please do get in touch! We are here to give a real voice to residents in Cardiff West!

Rachel Reeves politely asked why she is not prepared to tax the super rich and why she has gone back on her climate commitments. A young man literally pleads with her for a response. She turns her back and walks away. Labour don’t have the answers.

Llongyfarchiadau @neil_roberts_ 👏👏
Incredibly proud and humbled to have made the 'ones to watch' list on this year's Pinc List. Volunteering for LGBTQ+ sport has never been about me, but for others to have recognised the effort really means so much after two years of hard work. 1/

Yesterday we went out in Miskin. Miskin and Pontyclun are new to the constituency of Cardiff West. I promise if you elect me to be your MP, I will ensure Miskin and Pontyclun are heard and their different needs are considered in the new constituency. Give our local communities

Cannot describe how delighted I was to be given a chance to respond to this. Follow @closhea @clairecampaign to understand the impact when your cancer is repeatedly missed and the treatments are sparse. Claiming breast cancer survival rates as a Conservative victory is a joke

Jo Stevens has wrongly claimed in a few interviews that HS2 no longer exists Reminder that the Labour Welsh Government said that the cancellation of leg 2 “makes the case even clearer that HS2 is an England only project”

An astonishing interview with Labour's Jo Stevens. A 'reformed' Labour government will have more important things to do than respond to the needs of Wales. This will go down like a bucket of sick with most Labour Senedd members. Will only deepen the chasm.

What do we think of the royal family and Crown Estate here in #wales ? This documentary went out in Germany yesterday on ARD 1 with viewing figures of almost 2 million. The UK Treasury/Crown could earn £43b in rents from 5 planned windfarms off the Welsh coast. We could

*New film* My lastest documentary on Britain out today! With poverty and social inequality increasing I tried to explore the role the British class system plays in all this. And what the monarchy has to do with it..

Just watched a great documentary by @annettedittert about the British upper class and the connections between politics, monarchy, state, education, wealth and poverty. The interviews with @CarmenRiaSmith and Michael Fleming are particularly interesting.
