Just not cricket - political chaos and sporting pain

After a short break, we are back to catch up on the latest political news from Wales and the UK. There has been a lot! We cover the Plaid Cymru leadership non-election, the fallout of the Westminster chaos of the last few weeks, the suggestions of a 'purge of the left' in UK Labour and the Welsh Liberal Democrat prospects in the borderlands of Powys. We also touch on some of the cultural news of the last few weeks including the debate about bilingualism on the Eisteddfod maes and finish with a post-mortem of a bleak weekend for Welsh sport, excepting darts of course. We are also beginning our 4th year (!) of the Hiraeth Pod and will be taking the opportunity to review all aspects of our podcast, our Patreon, and other activities such as live events and newsletters.
