Might still be pipedreams and wishful thinking, but the thoughts are going in the right directions. Even my bus pass is now Welsh rather than local council! :) Transport for Wales exists to drive forward the Welsh Government’s vision of a high quality, safe, integrated, affordable and...

And most of the ones caught are sent to the EU...

As a world leading economy with immense technological capacity, masses of brains (and if we don't have enough, we can import what we want, that's what they said), we should be designing and building our own 5G stuff and then flogging it to the rest of the world. Shouldn't we? Mind, from a...

It all depends, of course, of the definition. :)

Is Ireland leaving as well? Or are we unable to cross the Irish Sea now?

Is that the English NHS? How about GIG and SNHS and whatever it is called in NI? Where is our 350 million a week?

Made by Ferrero - the boss of which company very recently took something like GBP 546 million as a bonus. And a company which has been identified as exploiting child labour. We all know that massive bonuses have been the prelude to company bankruptcies...

Perhaps we who would rather be in the EU should consider that the leavers never shut up, never stopped criticising (all too often, on false grounds), never left to go to a country that is not in the EU. At some point, perhaps we need to re-label - as rejoiners? rejoiner Noun (plural...

An interesting historical piece in the Guardian. 'The irony is we got things right by 2015': UK's Brussels envoys on Brexit https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/jan/31/the-irony-is-we-got-things-right-by-2015-uks-brussels-envoys-on-brexit

While I don't agree that they should all be free, a cost that is an inducement to shift away from the private car would certainly make a lot of sense. To hop along to Carmarthen by train, for two, is £42.40 (day return). To drive, at 40p per mile, is £25.20. No wonder the trains are so quiet...

He's not even in Egypt! :)

I might have been able to go along with some new track, some enhanced speed rail. But not HS2. The number of people who have already had a major impact on their lives is enormous. The impacts yet to come are even greater. The choice of speed is ludicrous. I really doubt the top speed of 250...

No, I was pointing out the technical possibility. However, depending on how you count, arguably two independents and one tory. (Or a DUP, a labour and a tory, if you insist.) So what do you make the ratio of, say, tory to SNP, or PC, or LibDem?

Technically, there is at least one way - multiple recall petitions. One (failed) in 2018. Two were passed last year. Might be exceedingly unlikely, but... Fiona Onasanya (Independent, elected as Labour) Christopher Davies (Conservative)

Parties can break apart resulting in loss of effective majority without any changes at all in elected members. BJ managed to get rid of quite a few in the last parliament so he well knows how to remove a majority.

There is a really convenient one - even got a tunnel directly to it... (Well, directly as in from England, not from Wales.)

Not news, well, not for many readers here: UK car production sank to its lowest in almost a decade in 2019, with output forecast to continue falling this year. Factories produced 1.3 million units last year, down 14.2% on 2018 and the third consecutive year of decline, according to figures from...

Is it true that BJ is in favour of HS2 and DC is against? What is that expression about falling out of thieves?

Is that new news? Was announced a little while ago that they were looking at everything.

Another day, another problem. (And I can't read the name Drax without thinking of Moonraker.) Am rather surprised at 75% because we already have 11.65 GW CCGT generation. Including 2 GW Pembroke. So not clear what basis there is for claiming 75% of the emissions. Perhaps several existing ones...
