Plaid will instead be the largest party, just ahead of Reform UK, with Labour third. Though still a minority, Plaid would be in government. In Welsh terms, that would be a political earthquake.

Microsoft blocks Israel’s use of its technology in mass surveillance of Palestinians | Israel | The Guardian
theguardian.com/world/2025/sep

Equipped with Azure’s near-limitless storage capacity and computing power, Unit 8200 had built an indiscriminate new system allowing its intelligence officers to collect, play back and analyse the content of cellular calls of an entire population. The project was so expansive that, according to sources from Unit 8200 – which is equivalent in its remit to the US National Security Agency – a mantra emerged internally that captured its scale and ambition: “A million calls an hour.”
According to several sources, the enormous repository of intercepted calls – which amounted to as much as 8,000 terabytes of data – was held in a Microsoft datacentre in the Netherlands. Within days of the Guardian publishing the investigation, Unit 8200 appears to have swiftly moved the surveillance data out of the country.

"But maybe the more complex reasoning for why #Starmer is such a vacant leader is that only such a man could have been elected as prime minister. Only a man characterised by the ability to identify who he must ingratiate himself with could have won the electoral race, placated powerful business interests and fended off the rightwing press"
Insightful from Nesrine Malik

Reshuffle it how you like, Starmer’s ‘grownup’ Labour has the Tory whiff of spiteful incompetence
Here we are again: constant rebooting, cruel rhetoric and crackdowns. And hurtling towards a Reform-shaped future, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik

"The question of whether we’re in a constitutional crisis or whether authoritarianism has arrived is kind of an academic one. It’s either here or it’s going to be here very soon. **We’re still short of them openly defying a supreme court ruling or intentionally deporting US citizens or attempting to shut down a news media operation. But we’re not very far short.**"
