Brexit red tape is holding back British food exporters and driving up costs. Labour must drop its red lines and back joining the single market and a customs union to boost businesses, lower prices and grow our economy.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🌍Wales’s international strategy should first and foremost boost economic growth by increasing revenues and employment opportunities for Welsh firms, in Wales. The Wales and Africa Grant Scheme does nothing towards this goal and should be scrapped. telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…

We need an immigration system that supports our economy, public services and integration - but the Home Secretary’s reforms will undermine that. Meanwhile, the Tories are determined to give us Brexit 2.0. Neither Labour nor the Conservatives are serious parties anymore.
🚨 NEW: Shabana Mahmood has U-turned on her plan to ban migrants from claiming benefits after gaining settlement in the UK

What he said 👇🏼 Plaid seems happy to completely waste Senedd time and tax payers money.
Wales does not need a new Human Rights Act. We do not need yet another layer of statutory duties. We have spent far too long on legislation like this which serves only to make the operation of government more sclerotic and allows a handful of politicians to grandstand.

It’s both, not either or.
Replying to @CarterRoutes
The Q we need to ask - if we have £2-3Bn (which is what a relief road will cost) is it better to build a road OR: Burns stations/services, Marches line Metro services/stations, Caerphilly-Newport Metro connection, better planning (ONS and Patent Office to City Centre etc)

The Liberal Democrats have outlined our plans on how to tackle the threats from Russia. We need to expand UK shipbuilding, with six new Royal Navy frigates and four new British shipyards to face down future threats.

These people have no shame. They mask themselves as patriots and advocates for law and order, all the while leaders of theirs sit on Kremlin paycheques and get locked up for criminal offences.

The United Kingdom has an unconditional right to defend itself. Any attempt to seize the Falklands by force must be met with resolve. We will stand firmly behind the islanders’ right to self-determination, their security, and their freedom to choose their own future 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇫🇰
Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered Israel to support Argentina over the Falklands, The Telegraph can reveal. The Israeli prime minister told diplomats to change his country’s official position and join Buenos Aires in calling for direct talks over the future of the islands. 🔗 telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2…

Hilarious to see ‘the left’, as Chris describes it here, continue to debate whether having strong financial services is necessary for a modern Western economy. Then again, Welsh Labour did admit to having no idea on the economy when they were last in Government…. 🥀
Really thought provoking when this article begins to talk about the lack of financial services in Wales. Edinburgh & London are notable FS capitals, but probably because they actually have/had a central bank for these kinds of businesses to emerge. As taboo as this is is to say on the left, private capital is still required for the underlying economy to work and flourish by accessing lending and borrowing facilities. "Does this matter? Does it materially damage Welsh business culture? It’s hard to prove a negative, but I’d argue that the absence of a native banking sector militates against a domestic financial and entrepreneurial culture." Hmm. Something in that and something worth exploring.

Labour, the Conservatives and Reform decided to not back British Farming last night in Parliament. The Liberal Democrats will keep fighting for farmers and pushing for the support our rural communities deserve.

The Senedd cannot legislate on policing and public order, which is essentially what a general face-covering ban falls under. In true Reform fashion, they’ve wasted Senedd time rage-baiting Plaid and Labour for clicks. Both need to stop playing to Reform’s tune.

Welcomed news! We're going to need gas for a long time and it makes sense to draw on our own resources.
🚨 BREAKING: The Government has officially approved the Jackdaw gas field for North Sea drilling It's the UK’s largest known untapped gas reserve and will start to supply gas to British homes and businesses from the end of this month

I am ruling out our party entering into a national partnership with any party that is committed to a dangerous and antisemitic policy like the Green Party’s. Here is my letter to the Jewish Leadership Council and the Board of Deputies of British Jews 👇

Veterans deserve stronger protections. Investigations should only be reopened with material new evidence and historic incidents shouldn't be judged by laws that didn't exist at the time. The Government must get this right.

I’m sorry to read that Richard Tice’s commute to Parliament from Dubai is proving so difficult.
British Airways is an embarrassing disgrace of an airline @British_Airways Routinely selling many more tickets than seats, putting lots of passengers on standby who bought tickets months ago, a woeful customer attitude of ‘shrug shrug, not my job’ 🤷‍♂️ Then not sending the luggage of standby passengers: one case may arrive on next flight an hour later, 1 case shrug shrug wait until tomorrow afternoon when it may or may not arrive 🤷‍♂️ Britain is Broken
