Lots of talk about Cardiff Parkway recently, with a decision apparently imminent.

A few (surface-level) thoughts on the issue at hand and what it says about economic policy-making in Wales...

🚨 The Democracy and Boundary Commission Cymru has published revised constituency proposals for the 2026 Senedd election.

Most constituencies remain unchanged from the initial plans released in September, but Cardiff's two Senedd constituencies have been adjusted.

I can't remember the last time I saw something so beautiful. Astonishing. Heart breaking. Politically affirming.

This immediately stood out to me at the time; the mental gymnastics you have to do to support the farmers protests whilst vilifying climate protesters is mad, but the media completely promotes it.

Some caveats.. 🧡

hardly terrible for Labour if Reform just keeps morphing into dustbin for failed Tory MPs tbf

Pretty sad about the John Prescott news today tbh. Cannot overstate how many working class people will have, or will get involved in politics as a result of the path he managed to forge. Complete ledge 🌹

I really don’t understand this whole β€˜stay on Twitter and fight’ thing. You’re jousting with bots and reply guys and wading through ads it’s not Waterloo.
