"The deputy leader of #PlaidCymru says the party is "absolutely not" considering a coalition with #ReformUK in the Welsh government.

"Plaid Cymru made big gains in Thursday's election and is now the biggest party in the Senedd with 43 seats, but it has fallen short of the 49 needed for a majority

"The party stands ready to form the next Welsh government and would consider co-operating with other "progressive parties" where there is common ground."

#Cymru brings the biggest defeat of 2026: #ElunedMorgan, First Minister of Wales & leader of Welsh Labour.

Under #Wales's d'Hondt voting system, a party winning at least 17% of the votes in any constituency is guaranteed one of the six seats in that constituency. Cast iron guaranteed.

But in Ceredigion Penfro, #WelshLabour won only 7.3%. So no seats there for Labour.

After winning every Welsh election since the 1920s, the #LabourParty is now 3rd in the #Senedd. It's over.

Hard to refuse a #BorderPoll in #Ireland on these sort of numbers. Hard to approve a Border Poll without also granting #ScottishIndependence and #WelshIndependence referenda.

Tough choices for #Westminster

It is so irresponsible and telling that Labour are all "we shouldn't see it as a fight between Plaid and Reform."

If your priority is avoiding fascism then yes, you absolutely should see it that way, and if you gave a damn about that you'd be doing anything it takes to support anyone who will beat Reform rather than trying to split the vote.

"#Reform's Welsh leader has distanced himself from a claim by one of his candidates that "abuse in nurseries will skyrocket" if parents receive more free childcare."

“Like the majority of Welsh #Labour members I’d urge Keir Starmer not to do this. He should remember we cannot deliver for anyone if we go against the electorate, who do not like Vaughan Gething and his donations.”

In England you can (and should!) register to vote from age 16 up.

In Scotland and Wales it's from age 14 up, for the Scottish Parliament/Senedd elections.

Presumably England will drop to 14 soon too, as votes at 16 were being promised everywhere by Labour.

Congrats to #PlaidCymru for supporting Vivek Thuppil. He is right: #Israel is a terrorist state. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwywvr2z76zo

But this is all back-to-front. The #BBC should be hounding parties to ensure that every candidate for every party unequivocally agrees that Israel is a terrorist state.
