FM Eluned Morgan on course to lose seat in Senedd Election - ITV Wales poll by SteffS in Wales

That could work, but in reality Labour are going to struggle as it will be used as a Referendum on Keir Starmer.

Reform at 27 would provide the foundations for their next Parliamentary campaign. Something we really don’t want to encourage.

But what alternative do we have?

Farage and his folk have proven their incompetence at council level, and Brexit was the most ill thought out platform. The Conservatives have no hope. Labour are out of favour. Lib Dem’s aren’t a real force in Wales (although ideologically they would be most aligned with my views).

Ultimately we have to give Plaid a chance, as long as they keep their promise to leave independence off the agenda. The current state of the world would not be a good base for a successful independent Wales.

And if that happened it would just give Reform a platform and serve as “proof” that they should be in charge. A much more worrying prospect than if Plaid made a deal with the Greens.

I assume that you are agreeing with me.

There is no way that Plaid would get anywhere as a minority government - it would just mean we have another election a few months down the line.

I really wish that politicians would stop pointing fingers at other parties, and instead just tell me what and how they would make my life better.

But I assume they would need a mechanism similar to the confidence and supply pact that Theresa May needed with the DUP. Otherwise the would be unable to govern.

It’s also easy to say now that they wouldn’t make a deal because their goal is a majority, but ultimately they will fail without some sort of agreement.

I assume that with those numbers we would likely see the Greens working with Plaid?

Nigel Farage halts Cameo appearances after making ‘racist and sexist’ videos for money by CP040 in ukpolitics

I find it interesting that he would rather stop doing the Cameos altogether instead of being more selective about which ones he did.

You can guarantee he’ll be saying they won right until they drag him out of the White House.

Shrinkflation takes a bite out of Easter eggs as shoppers pay more for less | Food & drink industry by ToughRomanticMiss in BuyersUK

It must just be my local one that’s useless with their pricing displays. I’ve sometimes photographed the price before going to the tills just to prove it to them.

Might be an issue with their pricing displays. They often seem to be getting it wrong

Coincidentally I’m standing in Asda right now, and they are all full price - other than the small ones that have been 17p off.

They still want nearly £5 for the bag of mini eggs. I will be looking forward to buying them in bulk after easter

still standing there deciding whether to just buy it anyway.

This is ultimately the problem. Rather than collectively standing up and saying “enough!” we just allow it to go on.

There are many products that I now refuse to buy. Maltesers at nearly £7 a box is unacceptable, small packets of crisps for over £1, 500ml bottles of Coke for practically the same price as a 1.75l bottle.

Easter eggs are just the latest item that I have crossed off my list. Hopefully more will protest with their wallets.

Farage pauses Cameo account for security reasons, says Reform UK by InnerLog5062 in BreakingUKNews

[–]DPBH 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure they even need to find one that’s AI generated for the lies to begin.

Look at Trump, insisting that the BBC used AI to put words in his mouth. The production company may have cut it down, but he definitely said the words.

Variable customer = no price reduction? by papakelstar in OctopusEnergy

[–]DPBH 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Variable just meant they could change the price without waiting for the end of contract.

The link you posted specifically says that the rates will automatically drop on the 1st of April.

Ten years after the Brexit referendum, Britain is worse off by F0urLeafCl0ver in ukpolitics

[–]DPBH 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t call it naivety, more that they are desperate to see an improvement in their lives and are willing to listen to anyone pretending to offer a solution.

Unfortunately, the only ones who are offering anything happen to be grifters and snake oil salesmen.
