The Tories’ hard pivot against the Cardiff Bay establishment reveals the power of Welsh devoscepticism

‘Abolish’ are exerting UKIP-style pressure as Paul Davies turns his guns on “cronies and hangers-on in civic society”: the devocracy.

By Henry Hill | 25 July 2020 | 48 comments

Henry Hill: Reserving control of ‘level playing field’ provisions to Westminster should be just the first step

James Heywood: Johnson – “Brexity Hezza” or liberalising Thatcherite? Our new report sets out how he can be both.

By Christopher Harries | 22 May 2020 | 15 comments

Fay Jones: Welsh voters deserve better than the First Minister’s synthetic outrage and pointless one-upmanship

I won’t let fears of being branded ‘anti-devolution’ stop me calling out Drakeford’s deeply counterproductive conduct.

By Fay Jones MP | 16 May 2020 | 49 comments

Henry Hill: As predicted, the ‘four nations’ approach to Covid-19 is falling apart

Also: Kawczynski clashes with colleagues over the future of Welsh devolution; Government capitulates on an Irish Sea border; and more.

By Henry Hill | 14 May 2020 | 114 comments
