Wales must choose to win Simon Hobson, co-founder of New Wales ‘Everything is politics,’ wrote Thomas Mann. He was right. In Wales, we have spent too long pretending otherwise. From bin collections to healthcare, from taxatio...

Wales has inverted the logic of nation-building. We argue about distribution before creating the conditions for growth. We fixate on how to spend money we do not control, rather than how to generate wealth we can. We treat devolution’s constraints as immovable, instead of contestable ✍️ Simon Hobson

The records of the #1926Census were released on 18 April '26, exactly 100 years after the first census of the #IrishFreeState was conducted. This landmark collection is now freely searchable on the National Archives of Ireland: nationalarchives.ie/collections/...

Insiders say Britain is 'unsalvageable'. Why wouldn't Scots flee the wreckage? UNSALVAGEABLE. That was how one UK Government source described the British state – in its entirety – to me earlier this week.

Transliteration and English translation of Kagla's Five Laws, with a brief interpretation.
