Ben Gwalchmai Mark Drakeford is obviously a thoughtful man. He also made the audience of the recent Wales For Europe event chuckle with a little warm humour. It takes intelligence to do so. Intelligent people also read widely. Is it possible then, that Mark Drakeford reads Nation.Cymru? Let me explain […]
Ifan Morgan Jones When Labour are having a hard time in the Assembly, one of their favourite tactics is to engage in a little ‘nat-bashing’. Rather than take the criticisms from the opposition seriously, they will seek to deflect it by rather patronisingly suggest that it’s driven by illogical ‘nationalist’ […]
The opening to Deadpool 2 is like a Flip Book of of his comics; globetrotting mercenary levels of killing economy doused in meta-humour that reaches through the fourth wall to slap you silly. Though Deadpool may be wearing the same suit, and frolic with many of the same characters, the […]
Simon Thomas AM The debate this week in the Senedd has shown without a doubt the new fault line in Welsh politics. It is not about remain or leave, it is a line between those British unionist parties who believe in the indelible rightness of parliamentary sovereignty at a UK […]

Leanne Wood AM On Wednesday we saw Labour vote with UKIP and the Tories on the EU (Withdrawal) Bill to hand powers back to Westminster. The following day we witnessed something almost equally as shocking – a Labour government arguing that they were happy to allow the Conservatives in Westminster […]
Warren Davies At the beginning of the month, it was announced that five Department for Work and Pensions offices in Wales will close with up to 1,700 staff being relocated to a single site. The Westminster Government, which runs the DWP, claims it will be more “cost-effective” but the reality […]
Benjiman L. Angwin You could argue that even though Wales rejects Conservatism, it is the most small ‘c’ nation on earth. It is conservative politically.
