@WillHayCardiff Stope after the second sentence. There are no valid reasons for Wales to adopt this agenda.

@Jeffrey62093861 I don’t disagree with Blair. In fact, he’s spot on.

[Russell Goodway @GoodwayCardiff]

@AndrewRTDavies @cllrjjames Absolutely Andrew.

[Russell Goodway @GoodwayCardiff]

@ClarkeIanm @MickAntoniw1 @Lab4IndyWales I disagree. If it does that, we really will be finished. And precisely what sections of the Labour Party rule book contributed to Welsh Labour treating its supporters in working class communities with complete and utter disdain - which is the real reason we lost.

@BuildUpWales @cardiffcouncil It’s not for sale

[Russell Goodway @GoodwayCardiff]

@Walesguy2 @mrrobosborne Don’t see why. They do have simultaneous translation. And you would exclude a lot of people from standing.

[Russell Goodway @GoodwayCardiff]

@Jeffrey62093861 @mrrobosborne Agreed. I would have thought that with his long experience, the party would want Huw Irranca to take on one of the bigger shadow spokesperson roles and to be a key negotiator at budget time. After all, Plaid will not be able to pass a budget without Labour support.

@Adrian1Robson Deepest sympathy to you, Jayne, your Dad and all the family. These moments in life are not easy.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 Before 1830, nobody had a lawn.

The rich had their grass cut by scythemen. Ordinary people had no garden worth speaking of.

Edwin Budding was an engineer in Stroud, Gloucestershire. Working in a textile mill, he noticed a machine using a cutting cylinder to trim the surface of cloth.

He looked at it.

And thought about grass.

He built a machine with a cutting cylinder mounted on a wheeled frame. Then pushed it across his garden at midnight. At midnight. So the neighbours wouldn't see.

It worked.

He patented it in August 1830.

Within twenty years the Victorian suburb was born. The striped lawn. The neat garden. The Sunday morning ritual.

Every suburban garden in America. Every cricket ground. Every football pitch. Every golf course on earth.

Traces back to one man. In Stroud. With a cloth machine. At midnight.

Right now, somewhere in the world, someone is cutting their grass. And they have no idea who Edwin Budding was.

We know the cost of living still bites. Our proposed Council Tax rise of 3.9% is one of the lowest increases in Wales

And it means Cardiff's Council Tax rate will be the lowest in Wales, for the second year in a row

With no cuts to frontline services, we're protecting...

@K4rmaRules @LazyLabourOut @NationCymru @joseph_carterUK @ShiptonMartin Oh, so not the Conservatives and Reform them? Make up your mind.

[Russell Goodway @GoodwayCardiff]

@LazyLabourOut @K4rmaRules @NationCymru @joseph_carterUK @ShiptonMartin Bigger problem is the Welsh Nationalists in Labour, surely?

[Russell Goodway @GoodwayCardiff]

@K4rmaRules @NationCymru @joseph_carterUK @ShiptonMartin But we don’t have to work hard to achieve that,do we. We have to work hard to get the Government is right for Wales. And that has to be Labour.

[Russell Goodway @GoodwayCardiff]

@K4rmaRules @NationCymru @joseph_carterUK @ShiptonMartin Not sure I understand that assertion, bearing in mind neither of them has been in power in Wales, like never.

[Russell Goodway @GoodwayCardiff]

@JennyRathbone We shouldn’t rely on electoral systems to defeat our opponents. We need to do so on the strength of our policies and our arguments and, if we can’t do that, then we deserve to lose.

[Gwynoro Jones @Gwynoro]

Agree - ‘’I am far from certain that Rayner would defeat either Starmer or Streeting.’’ In fact I’d go further it will be idiotic to have a leadership contest.
