Britons ripped off by the energy industry. No govt curbs profiteering.

Nationalise energy, reduce inflation, poverty, business costs, rebuild economy.

The Welsh NHS structure is immensely convoluted.

The UK electricity is already the most expensive in the world.
Price set to rise again in October as Ofgem's pricing formula lets companies rip people off.

Less than £100 from doubling the target!

The UK Treasury has screwed Wales again!

They've now classed a railway line running for Oxford to Cambridge as an "England and WALES" project.

This robs Wales over £300m+ whereas Scotland and NI get their cash.

It's a disgrace that this is still happening after the HS2 robbery.

Gôl!

Remember 2 months ago when Wales was screwed over by the UK Gov?

Well despite lobbying by the Welsh Gov the Treasury have refused to row back on their decision.

Therefore Wales will have to go into its reserves. This will not happen in England.

A celebration of 25 years of Mwng - the biggest-selling Welsh language album ever Neil Collins From chart-topping albums to huge gigs, the ’90s was the decade when Cymru officially became Cool. As Cerys Matthews once famously sang, ‘Every day when I wake up, I thank the Lord I’m We...

UK government admits almost no evidence nature protections block development Whitehall analysis provides no data or research to support the government argument that environmental legislation holds up building There is very little evidence that protections for nature are a blocker to development, the government has admitted in its own impact assessment of the controversial new planning and infrastructure bill. The analysis by Whitehall officials provides no data or research to back up the government’s central argument that it is environmental legislation that holds up building. Continue reading...

The Welsh Labour Government has been accused of showing ‘non-existent leadership’ after it tabled a wrecking amendment to a Plaid Cymru motion calling for Wales to have parity of powers with Scotland buff.ly/jbpAJTP

Listen to more classical music. For every like, I shall recommend a good recording.

"The 20 mph legislation in Wales cost approximately £32 million. However, it was estimated in the first year alone that the direct cost savings from reduced road traffic casualties would amount to three times the initial implementation costs (£92 million)."

Not sure how this is getting screwed or outrageous. It’s how the system works. The system - and this particular tax rise across the UK - also meant the Welsh govt got a £1bn windfall at the last Budget to decide what to do with.

It's a system that the Treasury "chooses" to use. That is the issue.

Also, the aim of the money was to make up the shortfall for public sector orgs. The chosen system does that in England, but not in Wales.

I think that is worthy of outrage.
