Tony Blair is right, but will anyone listen?

This is why I still support the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland 🇬🇧

🚨New @ONS statistics show that the amount of geographic redistribution across the UK has increased significantly in recent years - with London having a substantially bigger fiscal surplus, and much of the rest of the country bigger deficits (esp. Scotland & West Midlands)...

Better book my ticket to Wembley! Will be my third Championship play-off final, won the last two ⚫️🟠

Sorry Wrexham, Up the Tigers!

@blink_blank_bla @Sian_Parry @Plaid_Cymru They are going to spend £500k on another independence commission, the last report was only a few years ago

@PaulBrandITV 25-30% in Wales have always voted Conservative

[Ian Hutchinson @amberweb]

@AHolden00 @DaiBev At least we've got a better beach!

[Ian Hutchinson @amberweb]

This election has just descended into a straight pro-Reform/anti-Reform vote. With 'fear of Farage' being the biggest driver. So much for proportional representation! #Senedd26

[Ian Hutchinson @amberweb]

As is usual in my household, my Son and I have spent months discussing Welsh politics and who to vote for. My Wife, who has no interest in politics, is only deciding today after she reads all the leaflets #Senedd26

[Ian Hutchinson @amberweb]

@123db_GEEK No candidate in Clwyd?

[Ian Hutchinson @amberweb]

Lib Dem - Always feel sorry for David Wilkins, who's my son's teacher, admire his persistence but on a hiding to nothing

Conservative - Darren Millar has been a good representative for Clwyd and North Wales. Gareth Davies is the only candidate to knock on my door and have a chat

[Ian Hutchinson @amberweb]

Clwyd Consistuency #Senedd26

Reform UK - Their top three candidates are all ex-Tory Conwy councillors who put up my Council tax by 6.5%

Plaid Cymru - Llŷr Gruffydd is one of their better candidates, surely get re-elected. Don't know anything about Becca Martin, not local

[Ian Hutchinson @amberweb]

Labour - Hannah Blythyn is a strong candidate, treated badly by Vaughan Gething, but has been moved from Flint, again not local.

Green - Martyn Hogg is a fellow Yorkshireman, seems a nice guy. We'd probably get on but would disagree about most things

[Ian Hutchinson @amberweb]

People say Wales has never voted for Conservatives but Boris got 36% in 2019, Theresa May got 33% in 2017, even Thatcher used to get 30%

[Ian Hutchinson @amberweb]

@FAWales Same could be said of the United Kingdom. Together We Are Stronger 🇬🇧

[Ian Hutchinson @amberweb]

I need to explore more of Scotland
