people often say that wales isn't a colony 🤔

but there are six core features of colonialism. so let's put it to the test! ❌️

[Mick Antoniw 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿✊🇺🇦 @MickAntoniw1]

The last Tory Government treated Wales as a colony. There is now an opportunity for Treasury and UKG to modernise its relationship with devolved national + regional Governments + put it on a proper constitutional footing starting with the a radically needs based fiscal framework

Well @WillHayCardiff hasn't shared it yet so I will! Great to get Welsh topics out to a wider audience. I wonder if Labour will actually listen.... https://t.co/sNvd88O9qC

what if instead of being a "union" of countries, the united kingdom was 4 people, sharing a house? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇯🇪 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[Both sides of the Tweed @Dr_W_E_Bulmer]

The 'Council of Nations and Regions' has one Scottish and one Welsh representative out of 18. This shows the ridiculousness of any scheme that treats the nations of Scotland and Wales on a par, not with England, but with individual English city-regions.

From TODAY onwards, people in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Wales will start paying £100 MORE for electricity than Londoners!

Yet, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Cymru is a NET EXPORTER of electricity! We export 50% of our production with NO benefit!

Wales is being shortchanged by Westminster.
We need #IndyWales! ASAP!

Here's my local beach; it's 253 miles from London and 115 miles from our border with England, and it's owned by the Crown Estate. Is nowhere safe from the grasping, thieving hands of the English Crown?

I need to reshare this-it is beyond question that Wales has & is being shafted by @Conservatives and @UKLabour on equitable rail funding/investment and has been for 30 years! Read the thread attached>>> #hs2 #barnett #wales My Jan blog on this will be updated for my "book"

[CymruLuke @CymruLuke]

not only is welsh independence viable 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

keeping things as they are, isn't sustainable 😬

dissolve the union❗️

[CymruLuke @CymruLuke]

wales exports around £4bn a year worth of water to england💧

but did you know, we don't get paid for those exports? 🤔

[YesCymru @YesCymru]

The fallacy that Wales has a deficit of £13 billion has been described by the Wales Governance Centre and HMRC as "estimates", "assumptions" and "problematic".

[Guto Owen @GutoOwenH2]

That’s 5,300 jobs & £1.4bn for UK economy not Wales.
Not a drop in the ocean & Wales stands to benefit of course.
But we should have far higher ambitions for OUR assets & which WE assess.

Why is it 25yrs after Wales voted for devolution, that powers over rail, energy (so essential economic infrastructure) & major fiscal levers were not and still have not been....you can't change/improve an economy if you only have powers over spending depts like health?!?!

[BBC Wales News @BBCWalesNews]

Plaid Cymru says Wales should be given control of Crown Estate holdings worth tens of millions of pounds with the money used to support Welsh communities
