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 […]

Ioan Talfryn In C. S. Lewis’ The Lion of the Witch and the Wardrobe four siblings come across a magical world that has been plunged into an eternal winter. This dead, stagnant world was meant as a Christian allegory but as a metaphor, it’s also quite apt as Labour survey the […]
Clive King Who paid for your vote? I stopped taking any interest in day-to-day UK politics in September 2019. I left Twitter, skipped the BBC web site articles on the rolling coverage of Boris Johnson, Jeremy Corbyn et al. Why? Well, it wasn’t because I lost interest in politics. It […]
Adam Price, Plaid Cymru Leader Mud-splattered, tired and cold, both sides embraced after giving their all. For the players of Llangefni football club it was 90 minutes of hard battle.
