@fkamiah17 I want to see some Labour MP’s following suit. though I’m glad councillors are taking a stance. Hopefully they will join the Greens, rather than stand as independents
@HarriettMB You're not going to see any MPs resign. They're all bleating about it on the dark side, doing photo ops in their constituencies and starting petitions, but not actually doing the only thing that matters. It's revolting.
@fkamiah17 On the upside, they will be out of work in just over four years; on the downside, that’s just over four years of incredible damage, and too far in the future.
@HarriettMB @fkamiah17 in Wales I think Plaid Cymru is closer
@JeniParsons @HarriettMB @fkamiah17 Seems this councillor joined an English trade unionist party, which is okay but Welsh independence from Westminster is looking more needed by the day. At least the Greens have quite a strong presence based in Wales itself. I'd support either them or Plaid, whichever was likeliest to win. In most areas that's fairly clear
@JeniParsons @fkamiah17 I’d take that too and it might be better for Wales to have more Plaid Cymru councillors and MPs than any others [except Greens].
@HarriettMB @fkamiah17 it certainly would imo
@JeniParsons @HarriettMB And in some places, unfortunately, Reform
