Elfed Wyn Jones Like many of us here in Wales, I was unfortunately never given a chance in school to learn properly about our nation’s past. By the end of my history lessons in the sixth form, I knew the history of the Tudors, and the history of America and […]
Delyth Jewell AM, Plaid Cymru AM for South East Wales Now we know for certain: the UK is leaving the EU on January the 31st. The decision of Labour and the Liberal Democrats to grant Boris Johnson his Brexit election backfired catastrophically, as it was always obvious it would. Plaid Cymru […]
Arwyn Lloyd Having grown up in the 80’s and 90’s with family in the Rhondda, it was very apparent how post-industrial decline affected the communities of the Valleys. So watching the then Welsh Secretary John Redwood in 1995, announce proudly how he had returned a part of the Welsh Office […]
Liz Saville Roberts, Plaid Cymru Westminster leader It’s safe to say there were more Welsh supporters in Glasgow last Saturday than pro-Union protestors goading and taunting the passing marchers at the Argyle Street crossroads in the city’s centre.

The economic challenges facing Wales are numerous but not insurmountable. Those who defend the constitutional status […]
Ifan Morgan Jones Either Labour leadership contender Lisa Nandy doesn’t understand Scottish and Welsh nationalism, or pretends not to do so for political reasons. It’s difficult to find any other interpretation of her latest article on the subject, entitled Socialism and peaceful solidarity can defeat divisive nationalism. The title is, […]
Elin Roberts Reading Le Petit Prince by Saint Exupéry I found an interesting quote that can be applied to the UK and Brexit: “You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.” For the Fox in Le Petit Prince, this means that the titular Prince will be forever responsible for […]
Sian Gwenllian, Plaid Cymru shadow minister for the Welsh language The Welsh language belongs to everyone in Wales, whether you speak it or not. This living language is as much of a part of our daily lives as it is our heritage and is one of the many things that makes Wales […]
Gareth Ceidiog Hughes Like many of my compatriots, I was encouraged by the news that scientists have concluded that the Welsh language is safe from dying. Anxiety about the future of the language is a feeling that many Welsh speakers are accustomed to. In that sense, being a custodian of […]
