Using the Welsh Government's own stats, this tax will be paid by only 20% of visitors - a group already falling year-on-year - and spending less and less. The strategy needs a complete overhaul and it doesn't start with making yourself less competitive...

What’s amusing about this - it’s actually the property of the Irish Government and “on loan” to Sydney. (Hard to imagine it’ll be heading back to Dublin any time soon though…😂)

Hours after Senator Lidia Thorpe was removed from the Great Hall after she screamed at the King, the iconic statue of Queen Victoria outside the Queen Victoria Building in Sydney's CBD was vandalised with red paint. MORE: bit.ly/3A5VH1k

The anniversary isn’t for the Wales Office, only the role of Secretary of State. The Welsh Office wasn’t set up until April 1965.

Interesting to join @jamswilliams85 and Ron Davies to talk about the 60 years of Welsh Secretaries. I think the job will continue (and needs to) but there’s always debate about its future. Take a listen👇

First minister, Vaughan Gething, has lost the Senedd's vote of no confidence

Welsh Labour’s secret weapon was always its iron rod discipline and ability to circle-round when it needed to. Vaughan Gething losing a confidence motion is a big deal, regardless of his insistence to ignore it.

I’m sorry but was this painted in an abattoir ? I’m sorry but this is truly awful.

We can both better protect our natural world and dramatically speed up getting things built in Britain.
Let’s get building!
