What should Wales be demanding from Westminster?

from For Wales, See Wales · host Will Hayward, Melanie Owen, Robin Morgan

In this week’s episode, the For Wales See Wales trio discuss Rhun ap Iorweth’s first discussion as First Minister with the Prime Minister. Will, Mel and Robin discuss what a nationalist government can demand from Westminster, and whether prioritising independence should be raised straight off the bat.With Mark Drakeford’s admission that he thinks the Prime Minister should step down, the team ponder what the near future holds for Kier Starmer and Andy Burnham.About FWSW100 years ago if you had picked up the Encyclopaedia Britannica and looked up “Wales” you would have seen four words - ‘For Wales, see England.’ This implied that Wales was no different to England. Not worthy of its own description. Second fiddle. Frankly, it implied that Wales was simply less of a country. That is why we have launched our podcast: For Wales, See Wales.It is a weekly look at Welsh politics looking at the issues that matter to people here.There are so many people who are passionately Welsh, who care about Wales and want to better understand what is happening here. The more informed people are on Welsh issues, the more they are able to hold politicians and decision makers to account for the things that affect their lives. Just as importantly, we want to have a good laugh talking and learning about the country we love.Plus we have some great merchandise which you can buy here: https://for-wales-see-wales.teemill.com/Get in touch at [email protected] Wales, See Wales is a HayMan Media Productionhttps://www.haymanmedia.co.uk/
