Northern Ireland’s First Minister, Michelle O'Neill, has called for greater unity among Celtic nations, as she suggested that political momentum is building towards a shared push for independence across Ireland, Scotland and Wales https://t.co/HNHvVZn4CQ

The Republic of Ireland became independent from the UK in 1922.

Now the poorest people in Ireland have a standard of living 63% higher than the poorest in parts of the UK.

It's time for Wales and Scotland to become independent and for Ireland to unite.

The IRISH government has released plans to link up the island via rail.

We can’t trust or rely on the English UK government to do the same for Wales.

The English UK government looks out for England.

An independent Welsh government will look out for Wales.

If Wales had devolution in the 1960s, the Tryweryn flooding would not have happened.

If rail infrastructure was devolved, we wouldn't be paying for English rail.

Welsh democracy should be in Wales.

[Build Up Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @BuildUpWales]

Rail networks in Wales are poor because of Westminster.

Rail infrastructure is NOT devolved in Wales and so Westminster leaves us with a half a rail service that is England centric, London centric and Westminster centric.

[Build Up Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @BuildUpWales]

Imagine Welsh rail if we got our £5 billion of Welsh taxpayers' money back from the England-only HS2.

Linking Carmarthen to Aberystwyth would only cost £620million. We could link up the whole of western Wales!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @TrawsLinkCymru

Eluned Morgan held the same roles.

You stayed silent.

Mark Drakeford held the same roles.

You stayed silent.

Carwyn Jones held the same roles.

You stayed silent.

Suddenly @RhunapIorwerth holding those roles leads to outrage?

Just shows how little Labour understands Wales.

Interesting to see that Reform’s priorities in Wales includes which flags to wave.

[Cai Parry-Jones MS @Cai_ParryJones]

I stand solidly behind the people of Ukraine who are rightly standing up to Putin following his illegal invasion of their country.

However, the Senedd flying their flag is not doing anything to keep Russia at bay.

We need to move away from virtue signalling politics. People see through it and rightfully want politicians to go back to focusing on bread-and-butter issues that will positively and noticeably impact the people of Wales, such as health, education, and the Welsh economy.

[Michelle O’Neill @moneillsf]

I want to congratulate John Swinney on being elected First Minister of Scotland today.

For the first time ever, there are now three nationalist, pro-independence First Ministers in office in the North of Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.

I look forward to working together with John Swinney and Rhun ap Iorwerth in the time ahead, as we stand up for the best interests of our people and for their right to self-determination.

[Plaid Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @Plaid_Cymru]

HS2 is expected to cost over a £100bn - meaning Wales is now losing out on £5.8 BILLION. 🤯

The people of Wales refuse to be treated as second-class passengers any longer.

The UK Government must devolve rail to Wales and ensure fair funding for our communities. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Official residence of the First Minister of Scotland and a working hub for the Scottish government.

[Build Up Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @BuildUpWales]

Suerly, Mansion House in Cardiff should be the official residence of the First Minister of Wales🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

It’s owned by @cardiffcouncil and was used by the Mayor of Cardiff. This would help to maintain this historic building, and would be the equivalent to Scotland’s Bute House.

@kingjordofcots @cardiffcouncil I would imagine that a lease or transfer of ownership could work.

@AbolishWestmin @cardiffcouncil Filming, weddings, events, it seems.

@Claire_RN1 @JeremyBrookman2 @cardiffcouncil It’s already publicly owned. This would be an efficient use of the building.
