“There are clear warnings coming out of some parts of Welsh Labour that they can’t simply hope that this won’t matter” @WillHayCardiff on the ongoing controversy/questions surrounding Vaughan Gething’s campaign funding, amidst calls for an independent investigation @WalesOnline
There is surely no greater tribute to David Marquand that the issues he grappled with so eloquently remain wholly relevant to British politics today. This is from his 1981 essay on 'club government'.
Just three days between these two stories
But I’m sure @DavidTCDavies would defend it I’m embarrassed by the office of Secretary of State for Wales. Time to end it theguardian.com/world/2024/apr…
I’m baffled that Labour thought a spring election was ever likely?

Afraid Liz Truss has got it wrong about quite a basic fact concerning the mini-budget in her book. She says the Treasury costed her tax policies at £45 billion over five years. Actually it was £146 billion. £45 billion was just the final year's costing for 2026/27. 🧐

I have gone through every donation Jeremy Miles and Vaughan Gething accepted during their leadership race. Barring any late declarations the final tally was: Miles - £58,800 Gething - £254,600 There are some really interesting things in here so let's have a look. [Thread]
Both of these men have now been knighted for their "services to public life"

When the First Minister's judgement plays second fiddle to his "approval rating" you start to get worried...
@WelshGovernment Schools need protection from speeding traffic but don't forget they are closed at weekends and for 13 weeks each year. Where are the children then? They're out and about on foot and on bikes. Vulnerable
As pressure mounts for Gething over his campaign donation, the @NationCymru exclusive is now being covered but other news outlets. Although most have not credited us, this incredible scoop was the work of @ShiptonMartin, who has been relentless in his scrutiny of the new FM.
Wales is treated like garbage when it comes to UK coverage Imagine, for a moment, how the UK wide media would react if the Prime Minister had done the following when running to be party leader: - Taken a donation from a criminal. - That donation had been 6X the spending limit…
Remember the companies that gave £200K to Vaughan Gething's campaign to be First Minister? Well 11 months before they received a £400k loan from the Welsh Gov-run Development Bank of Wales. This was when Mr Gething was economy minister & the bank was in his portfolio. [Thread]
@YouGov If I smacked a 6ft 5 bodybuilder, I'd be arrested for common assault. If I smacked my child who is incapable of defending themselves or calling for help, it's perfectly fine... Seems pretty strange to me.

Extremely disappointing from Ken Skates. Let's just kill a few more children and vulnerable road users in an attempt to steal a few votes from insane Tories (who were never going to vote for progressive parties anyway).

Road charging and congestion charges certainly exist in Tory-governed England but I can’t think easily of anywhere in Labour-governed Wales with such charges? @WillHayCardiff @BBCWalesNews @WalesPolitics @NationCymru
