Minister Hutt has said 'We need a better deal from UK Gov' on #SundaySupplement and she's right in the short term.

In the long term?
The only solution is our own Central Bank that comes with #indyWales.
Lord Carlile, one time MP for Montgomeryshire, says that Justice must be Devolved to the Welsh Government - 'I'm sure they'd do it better'.

If it isn't coming after 2 consultations by Lords, it isn't coming without #indyWales.
Great to hear @LiseRButler & @deianhopkin adding nuance to the debate around our economic parallels from today to the 1970s.

The SNP also grew really well after that decade.

Our fear is that fascism in England will grow as a result of our current crises, as it did in the 1980s.
We've got a lot of respect for @ElisThomasD here, especially after his talk with Cymdeithas Cledwyn at Conference a few years ago - great to hear his opinions & hope he'll get more chance to voice them in our media.

Great job presenting @rhodrilewis5 - diolch am sioe wych!
Hear hear.
A really good highlight that both we and Richard picked up on.

#DevolveJusticeNow!

Over the last few weeks, months, and years, a lot of arguments and constitutional terms have been banded about - so we wanted to take a moment to show people where the debate is in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

>> THREAD <<

Our options are:
Independence, Federalism, or Abolition.
⏸️CONTEXT:

This last week saw some historic moments for Wales. The first was the support for independence reaching a record high of 39%.

The second, and just as important, was the declaration from @FMWales that "the UK, as it is, is over - we have to create a new union":
⏸️CONTEXT:

Coupled with the convenient resignation of Paul Davies (who led the Conservative Senedd Group) ~100 days before an election, this represents the departure the traditionally stalwart parties of the status-quo to something much different.

🌹 and 🌳 have peeled away.

Okay, here we go.

A response to Keir Starmer's speech on the future of devolution in the UK.

THREAD. [1/25]
First of all, the stark difference between where the debate actually is and where UK Labour thinks the debate is has been once again put in focus.

Starmer has brought a normative, emotional argument to a sober, practical discussion.

[2/25]
When he argues that “together we fought slavery, we fought poverty, we fought fascism, and we’re fighting Covid”, his very l i b e r al interpretation of history betrays who this speech is pitched to. It's not to the Scottish and the Welsh.

It's to the British.

When asked today specifically about growing support for independence in Wales, Keir Starmer didn't even mention Wales in his response.

Support for independence here is at 33% and support within Welsh Labour is up to 52%.

Ignoring these figures won't make them go away.
There’s more we have to say on this, we’re just digesting whatever that was.

The Justice Commission is today releasing its report and it is as damning of Westminster administration of justice in Wales as it is conclusive in its recommendations.
Long-read: gov.wales/sites/default/…
Summary: gov.wales/sites/default/…
Even if you're not a law nut and just want the bolts of it, from a historical perspective, the report gives a hell of a tour of the ages. Chapter 2 Part 1 gives a rollercoaster ride through Welsh legal history, summed up neatly here (2.2) - highlighting the ludicrosity of it all.
In short, the commission recommends consolidating legal aid and 3rd sector advice funds under one indy body, est. a Welsh Criminal Justice Board, ↑ criminal responsibility age to 12, family and children law should be in one coherent system, all Welsh unis should teach Welsh law
