What is the point of a national broadcaster when 3 days after a stunning victory by Plaid Cymru in a Senedd by-election it only gets mentioned in the context of Labour's woes? And what is the BBC's director of Nations doing about it?
What is the point of our national broadcaster if it can't get the official Opposition to answer questions like this?
A real failure that a 6 minute BBC interview with the Shadow Home Secretary has simply failed to clarify
- whether the Bill in the Commons stands, or has been dropped?
- whether threat of removal to those currently with ILR stands, or dropping retrospective deportations of 430,000 people

The UK Treasury has screwed Wales again!
They've now classed a railway line running for Oxford to Cambridge as an "England and WALES" project.
This robs Wales over £300m+ whereas Scotland and NI get their cash.
It's a disgrace that this is still happening after the HS2 robbery.

Keir Starmer says ‘all options are on the table’ for Scunthorpe – rightly so.
But when Port Talbot faced crisis, Labour mocked Plaid Cymru’s call for nationalisation.

I wonder whether anyone at the Beeb has ever told Robbie Gibb, the Brexit-supporting board member knighted by his former boss Theresa May who polices the ‘impartiality’ of others, to piss off. Someone senior, whether on or off air staff, really needs to. This nonsense can’t continue.
Was just disinvited by @bbc5live.bsky.social to a discussion of Brexit 5 years on- on the entirely reasonable/correct grounds that I know what I am talking about and would give an expert, objective view.
What they actually wanted was a "hard Remainer" (to balance a know-nothing Brexiteer).

Wales is still short-changed because of HS2. The Great Welsh Train Robbery isn’t just a historic inequity – it will continue to squeeze Welsh rail funding to the future. I will continue to demand the £4 billion that Wales is owed.
