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.

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":

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.

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.
