👋 Richard,

1. We export *double* the electricity we use, but profits don’t stay here
2. We have 15% of Europe’s tidal power but Westminster won’t allow us to exploit it
3. We can’t sell our water at profit because MPs in Westminster voted against our Senedd to ensure we can’t! https://t.co/qOp20WS255

Quick recap of overlooked news from this week. US authorities have action over Russian attacks on *British* targets. Meanwhile, British govt continues to *refuse* recommendation of its ISC committee to investigate Russian interference... https://t.co/lt1G83zv3o

Retweet if you’d like to see every Tory MP who voted to keep our hungry children hungry banned for life from all pubs and restaurants in their constituency.

Funny that English celebs feel sorry for us (the 'poor people of Wales') not because we're shackled to the rotten ship of Tory-run Westminster, not because our country is increasingly used as a playground for the rich, but because we can't buy a kettle from a shop for 2 weeks

When you won’t help starving kids but want people to feel sorry for you earning £150k a year and having to pay for your own food. pic.twitter.com/dbPzRtQggV

The not surprising, but infinitely disappointing, fact is that right now there are newspaper reporters tasked with taking through Marcus Rashford's private life to dig up dirt on him. All because he wants to feed hungry kids.

It now costs the tax payer more than £6 million to subsidise
food and alcohol for MP’s.

This money should be used to feed the poor children in our country. MPs earn £81,932
per year and can afford to pay for their own food and drink.

Retweet if you agree!

There are 1300 pupils at Eton, which is subsidised by us all through a £700,000 p.a. tax break. That's more that £10 per week per pupil, all year round, holidays included. End this cycle of dependency.
