Peter Morgan Barnes Politicians often speak in a way that comes across as confusing and unrelatable, and that needs to change. The language with which we discuss independence is critical to winning support for it from the sceptical. One characteristic of our times is that conventional broadsheet political discourse has […]
Gareth Ceidiog Hughes It’s just tedious more than anything. Is not having to hear banal tropes about the Welsh language really too much to ask? Would it really be an imposition on those who engage in such inanity to desist? It appears that it is in the Good Morning Britain […]
