Yeah what I mean, is that anyone making a variety of valid, but controversial or difficult points is frequently shut down by accusations that they are something they aren't. You know my thoughts on the casual use of Hitlers name, but it's the same with the other names mentioned. It's a distraction tactic.Quote:

As I type, a pretty intense take down from Starmer on Plaids Liz Saville- Roberts in PMQs!
I disagree, voters have short memories. 18 months before the next election they will be looking to win some back and if the economy has improved it'll probably workQuote:

Electoral Calculus is a good site
It's just done a report on why reforms vote is increasing so much
It's summary ....
The Economy ....stagnant for several years
Immigration
The NHS
They conclude that whilst Reform are not providing any solutions its almost as if some are saying why not five them a go , it couldn't get any worse , could it ?
Which is worrying for the main parties if not the country
Not his finest hour.

Well I would prefer a Labour government to reform but I think unless starmer goes its all too lateQuote:

So, can we all at least agree that Plaid Cymru is the way forward?
Thank you.
Why?Quote:

The guy who was claiming this linked to the full press conference and was pretty confident but the captioning on the press conference is difficult to follow so I gave up trying to confirm his claim.Quote:

The constant hammering of immigration by the last few governments has been particularly bad for me - having married an immigrant a couple of years back.
The fees involved increased massively under the tories, not only the visa fees themselves, but the NHS surcharge they have to pay went up from 600 ish a year to over 1000 a year, over the course of a 5 year immigration process this adds thousands of pounds per person.
Now Labour want to increase the language requirements to A2 (previously B2) which is quite a big jump and worst of all extend the process from 5 years to 10 years - that will cost us tens of thousands more if it is put in place before we complete the ILR process.
