📷Remarkable from @Ffototawe Chris Reynolds:

His B&W photo from 1991 shows a young Rhun ap Iorwerth (expand to see on right), facing police, protesting outside the old Welsh Office building in Cardiff - exactly the spot where he stood yesterday as First Minister leading Plaid Cymru’s first ever government

Just spoken to Chris - he was a student at Aberystwyth at the time who had been documenting protests like these.

This event was part of the campaign for a Property Act by Cymdeithas yr Iaith (the Welsh Language Society) @Cymdeithas

The banner on the steps reads: ‘Nid Yw Cymru Ar Werth’- ‘Wales is Not For Sale’

Is that another Plaid leader-to-be - Leanne Wood - in the background?

@HuwL1oyd Mick points out that Labour has become more unionist at a time when voters identify more strongly as Welsh, leaving Plaid to occupy the centre ground that they worked over decades to shift in their direction

[Luke James @LukeEJames2]

Good analysis of the deeper cultural changes which lay behind the Senedd result. While tactical voting was part of the story, Plaid Cymru won Gramsci's 'war of position' some time ago

Not enough people are talking about the woman in the back at the beginning of this clip.

Lyn Ackerman is the most working class person ever elected to the Senedd. She was working 3 jobs, including on election and count days!

Rhun Ap Iorwerth was answering questions from the media about how he would lead the next government when he was cut off by an impromptu rendition of the Welsh National Anthem.

No more questions after that!

In the south, 90% of eligible workers took part and Morgan stresses workers in other parts showed “remarkable fervour”

Wales also had vocal opponents. The headlines in the conservative Western Mail said “labour leaders lost control” and were “nearly proclaiming civil war”

[Luke James @LukeEJames2]

“For the 9 exciting days of May, the Welsh miners - and most of the workers in Wales generally - were solid…It was in London, not in areas like south Wales, that the weakening of resolve came”

Unfortunately keeping up traditions also means we have to lose to Mansfield away in the next game. The price we pay

[Luke James @LukeEJames2]

Great memories of my first pitch invasion and pleased we kept up traditions last week despite attempts to spoil the fun

As Jason Perry said: “Let the fans do what they want. Someone’s going to be on someone else’s shoulders and they’ll remember it for the rest of their lives”

Rather ironic the Commission are following the UK Gov in trying to cut devolved govs out of decisions on the Shared Prosperity Fund

If the Commission succeeds, it could change the debate about Wales’ future relationship with the EU. But there’s huge resistance. Gawn i weld

[Luke James @LukeEJames2]

Big fight ongoing in Brussels over plans to strip devolved governments of control of EU funds

Welsh Gov used to receive £400m a year. But the Commission wants money from the next budget to go to central governments
