Reading this as “we think this is the lane we should be in, but our time in the sun was so fleeting, we’re already back to irrelevance and we’re jel.”
'Is that a really good use of his time?' 'Raising money for a cancer charity?' The Green Party's @floschechter brands Andy Burnham going on Gogglebox as 'ridiculous'.

When junction 27 is closed, and junctions 25 and 26 are partially closed, Malpas Road, Chepstow Road and Stow Hill will no doubt take the brunt of the traffic, so it’s no wonder that city centre businesses have raised concerns. Just what are Plaid Cymru playing at?

📣 FREE PARKING IN THE CITY CENTRE! 📣 We know how much this matters to residents and local businesses. Next week, Cabinet will consider a proposal for 2 hours of free parking every day in city centre council car parks.

Plaid Cymru’s own report states the M4 junction closures “would not significantly address the wider [motorway] capacity issues”.   Is that worth damaging Newport’s air quality, accessibility and economic growth for? No. Don’t do it then! walesonline.co.uk/news/wales…

Plaid Cymru have just announced junction closures around Newport, a plan to make a plan and that Newport isn’t a priority for new train stations. Tell them it’s not on. Sign the petition 👇 c.org/VYKpDQQdjr

Absolutely agree!
And this is *exactly* why we need independent journalism, folks. And the only hope of that is if people pay for it. This is not news, it's propaganda.

🌹We’ll always do the best we can for our city’s children and we’ll always increase school budgets as much as we can while keeping Newport’s council tax amongst the lowest in Wales.🌹 (1/3)

Unpopular fact: Labour are solving Britain’s immigration issues. Before you try to argue against that, go and look at the data. Since Labour came into power: Net immigration: ↓ 74% Small boat arrivals: ↓ 44% Asylum seekers in hotels: ↓ 46% And continuing this trend. Perhaps we don’t need a load of self-serving grifters being voted in next time around after all?

Reform UK are back parroting Peter Lilley's little list. I grew up in a single parent household. What matters is the love and care families provide, not their shape or size. Britain rejected these outdated views in the 1990s, we will do so again.
Richard Tice has insisted that "marriage is a great thing" and the party is not wrong to prioritise couples over single parents for social housing. | @realBenBloch Politics latest: trib.al/rOSlmAm

It’s absolutely giving Handmaids Tale.
“Would a married British couple get priority over a single British person?” Richard Tice: “Yes… having British-born children is a good thing. We need to encourage that.” Q: “A single person might have children.” Tice: “Children in married couples will do really well at school and we want to encourage that.” Q: “Where would a married same-sex couple fit in your priority list?” Tice: “There’ll be an allocation list… we’re focused on young British workers first.” @TimesRadio

Imagine the chaos in Newport if Plaid’s plans to shut junctions come off… Sign our petition, like thousands already have and tell Plaid NO to closing junctions around our city ⤵️ change.org/p/tell-plaid-cymr…

Getting a sniff of some great partnership working that’s seeing results and now trying to jump in and take credit? Not the Newport Conservatives, surely? 🫠
