Nobody: @BBCWalesNews at least once a week: 'have we sent someone onto the streets of Cardiff to wave a picture of the FM in people's faces?' instagram.com/reel/DYZb-68iJ…

There's also scope for a second Deputy in the new Senedd which could make this more interesting.

Exclusive! An early frontrunner for the next leader of Welsh Labour.

@maffinaround @mrrobosborne True, but it was the best pun I had.

@ThatsDevolved @mrrobosborne He's pretty safe as the top candidate in Swansea

One safe prediction: A lot new podcasts are about to be launched by former Senedd members.

@DanOakesBP @mrrobosborne I agree, but it was an easy pun.

@ThatsDevolved @mrrobosborne He's going nowhere.

The view from Cardiff today.

"No party, no matter how sophisticated its internal polling, can know with confidence that the contest in a given constituency is specifically for the sixth seat". Argues it makes more sense to back a bigger party in a bloc because of how D'Hondt works jaclarner.github.io/jaclarner/blog…

This article does not make clear this is in England only. Scotland has also banned no-fault evections. Tenants in Wales and Northern Ireland enjoy fewer protections and can still face no-fault evections. #thatsdevolved independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…

@AbolishWestmin Rumours are swirling

@ThatsDevolved Should be sorted by 4.30pm on Friday? Why do you suggest Saturday? Please, NO!!

It's ridiculous we won't have an overnight counting Wales next week. No results until Friday afternoon, maybe even dragging into Saturday!?!?

This article from @revcomintern is incorrect about this being the first election 16 & 17 year old can vote in in Wales. They have been able to vote in devolved elections since 2021. communist.red/welsh-senedd-e…

@TheSilverCloak Not always. They aren't counting overnight, and plenty of other elections are able to get PR results out the evening polls close e.g. Spanish parliamentary elections which uses essentially the same system and announce initial results within 4 hours of polls closing

@ThatsDevolved Isn’t that kind of normal for non-FPTP methodology?
