”‘Is Welsh Politics on the Cusp of Chaos?’ a great listen. Laura McAllister, Lauren McEvatt & Lee Waters balance a deep dive into Wales’ political landscape with insight on challenges. We need to get this in front of everyday Welsh people, not just the usual political enthusiasts

Elizabeth’s last year playing for Wales as a junior. What a fantastic ride with the players she has grown up playing with. So pleased they ended on a high.

@WillHayCardiff Good luck Will. Only positive stuff will come from this, for you and for Wales.

CAREER NEWS After an incredible 8 years I am leaving WalesOnline. The first thing to say is that I will still be covering Welsh politics but in a couple of new ways. It is a real shame when journalists (and politicians) simply see covering Wales as a stepping stone. The collective inclination to see Wales as “less than England” is, in my opinion, one of the principal reasons we have so many issues here. Unfortunately I will not be able to take my current newsletter with me. I do not own it. It belongs to WalesOnline. I will therefore be starting my own newsletter from scratch. It will be covering the same subjects, but in more detail and more regularly. I am really excited to build something really good and unique covering Welsh politics. The newsletter will also be called The Will Hayward Newsletter and if you want to sign up for it you can find the link in my pinned tweet. I would love it if you could join me. I am also seeking sponsorship for the newsletter so get in touch if you are interested. I am also delighted to say that from October I will be starting a regular column with The @guardian which will be exclusively focused on Welsh politics and issues! There will be other announcements in the coming weeks, including a new podcast. As I will now be freelance, I am also open to other opportunities so please do get in touch if you want to discuss potential projects and bookings. If you wish to get in touch with me I will now be contactable on will@willhayward.co.uk. Before I leave I would like to say a few things about WalesOnline…
