Will Hayward@WillHayCardiff·
I was recently on a panel with a senior Welsh Reform politician and we were asked about devolving the Crown Estate. He said that Wales shouldn't have more powers because "we are not very good in Wales at being efficient in running things". There are a few points I would make about the comment: 1. There are legitimate arguments for not devolving the Crown Estate. I chronicle them in my book. I do on balance believe it would be better for Wales if it was devolved (or at least the money from it was sent directly to Wales) but it is not inherently “anti-Wales” to be hesitant about the devolution of the Crown Estate. 2. However, the argument that “we are not very good in Wales at being efficient” is one of the most infantile descriptions of a nation I have ever heard, especially coming from a man/party who claimed they wanted to lead that nation. The idea that Wales and the Welsh are uniquely incapable of running something illustrates a level of self-hate and lack of confidence that we need to shed. It’s a narrative that holds us back more than almost anything. 3. Nothing says “I don’t think we will ever run the Welsh Government” like this statement. If Reform really believed they would one day have the levers of government at their disposal, they wouldn’t be so quick to deny Wales having them.

The retro tops are a nice touch. If I'm being petty, they would look better with just the numbers on the back without the names.

📷Remarkable from @Ffototawe Chris Reynolds: His B&W photo from 1991 shows a young Rhun ap Iorwerth (expand to see on right), facing police, protesting outside the old Welsh Office building in Cardiff - exactly the spot where he stood yesterday as First Minister leading Plaid Cymru’s first ever government Just spoken to Chris - he was a student at Aberystwyth at the time who had been documenting protests like these. This event was part of the campaign for a Property Act by Cymdeithas yr Iaith (the Welsh Language Society) @Cymdeithas The banner on the steps reads: ‘Nid Yw Cymru Ar Werth’- ‘Wales is Not For Sale’ Is that another Plaid leader-to-be - Leanne Wood - in the background?
