🚨| Inflation is back up—hitting 3.5%. And it’s the essentials driving it: gas, electricity, and water. 🧨 Starmer promised lower bills. Instead, families are being squeezed harder than ever. 1️⃣ Gas up 2️⃣ Electric up 3️⃣ Water bills up 26.1% — biggest jump since at least 1988

🚨 | Net migration to the UK in 2024 was 431,000 — more than the entire population of Cardiff added in just one year. 📥 948,000 arrived 📤 517,000 left — many ex-students post-COVID 👉 Even after visa crackdowns, migration remains far higher than pre-2020 levels.

📺 | In 13 years, the UK added 4.7m people through net migration—more than 1.5x the population of Wales. 🧨If net migration had been 10k a year, it would’ve taken 470 years to reach that total. 👉 High migration began under Tony Blair and the Tories then accelerated it. Chat

Highly depressing that the first minister of Wales can immediately return directly to the House of Lords if she quits or loses her seat. Firmly embedded in the gravy train, like all good Labour politicians.

🚨 | 6,000 tyres pulled from the River Ogmore in Wales 💥 Decades of neglect — now it's left to volunteers to clean up. 👉 If rivers were regularly cleaned & dredged, maybe we’d see less flooding… 🌍 …but it’s easier to just blame climate change, isn’t it?

🤔 Is the Welsh First Minister drunk posting? 🤡 Welsh & UK Labour working together for [Wales] — seriously? Here’s what their partnership really means: 1️⃣ Winter Fuel Payments cut for 80,000+ Welsh pensioners 2️⃣ Energy bills UP, despite Starmer’s promises 3️⃣ Illegal

🚨 | Wales - 23 years to build 28 miles dual carriageway but still 50mph in parts — for “environmental reasons”. 💷 £2 billion spent 📆 Decades of disruption 🚗 Two lanes - but same speed limit as one 🥀 Another proud Welsh Labour achievement. statsjamie.co.uk/heads-of-the-v…
