@CardiffTWT @BLMCardiff @XRebellionUK @ACORNCardiff Could we have more details please?

Great to see an established political leader, & voice, such as President Obama discussing & advocating for progressive change & mechanisms such as #UBI & #4DayWeek.

Stability is important as it allows individuals & society to concentrate on what matters.

…and running a series of community share offers seems a good way of planning a sensible long-term future for the farm while enabling it to become more of a community asset for our wider community with benefits for all involved".

A family owned farm in West Wales has launched a community share offer to transfer ownership over to the local community.

Hear farmer Jim Bowens reasons

As an example, the Gurnos in Merthyr Tudful has a lower life expectancy than war torn Sudan.

This map of Wales is really interesting and could help change how the Welsh Government supports communities in Wales.

This is (IMO) really interesting so let's have a deeper look.

Citizen & Community owned renewables are inflation proof.

There is no reason #Wales & Welsh citizens cannot be energy independent & sustainable.

Fear is essential in this model.

We learned a lot about the policy of the government and the Bank of England when it came to inflation yesterday. Above all, we learned that they really want to frighten people into accepting lower standards of living. Economic warfare on the country has begun. A thread….

@allen313x Hi Chris, thanks for your comment.

There is, of course, things the councils can do to help. However it’s never as simple as one thing.

Many issues related to commercial rents & who owns the property of the high street. Also charges are necessary for waste collections etc.

If every adult in #Wales chose to spend £5 a week in a local, independent business *instead* of spending that £5 #online or in a major #supermarket chain what would this do?

It would keep £520 million a year circulating in the Welsh economy.

That is just from £5 a week.

Working on getting that answer for you, and the rest of #Wales, Richard! #WatchThisSpace

Have you wondered how Westminster's nepotistic political system works?

Take the case of Ross Kempsell.

Kenya banned single-use plastics in 2017. Single use plastics cannot be brought into the country.

Cymru has yet to do so, even though the Senedd & Welsh Labour have discussed doing so.
