Brilliant analysis of the week in politics in Wales. I hope all parties pay close attention to these guys, and @willhaycardiff.bsky.social, as we approach the May election. Still slightly lost on the merits and influence of tactical voting under the new system, however

Someone can be a Leeds native, a Yorkshireman, a Brit BUT not English.

god, the feeding frenzy around Rayner is obnoxious. It looks pretty clear that she took and acted on advice in good faith that was given in good faith. Rules around trusts are complicated, FFS.

This whole summer only one story has dominated our entire politics & it comes down to literally 30,000 people in hotels. Ridiculous.

So what's the deal with Northern Ireland and Trump's blanket tariffs?
1. Under the Windsor Framework, the Brexit deal for NI, Northern Ireland is part of the UK customs territory. Goods produced in NI are treated as UK goods. So, NI exports to the US should be treated like any other UK export.
