Britain’s Labour Party stares into the abyss in its Welsh heartland In the old coalfields of south Wales, Britain’s center-left establishment faces being crushed by a nationalist left and populist right. POLITICO went to find out why.

For those following the Senedd election, this is an interesting read in @politico.eu
on the challenges facing Labour as it attempts to fend off Plaid and Reform and defend the century long electoral hegemony it’s enjoyed in Wales… #senedd #devolution

For those interested in Welsh politics, this is an important report from @walesgovernance.bsky.social on the state of the Welsh budget during the 2021-26 #Senedd and the tight fiscal environment and challenging spending decisions facing whichever party/parties form the next Welsh govt #devolution

With #LordsReform in the news, a plug for my recent @politicalquarterly.bsky.social article on an area where reform has previously been proposed - to make the Lords a chamber of the nations & regions - and the extent to which the upper House already functions as a territorial chamber #devolution

Keir Starmer breaks silence on leaked memo that sparked devolution row KEIR Starmer has broken his silence after he was accused of a “direct assault” on devolution in a row over a leaked memo.

Yet more proof UK gov undermining devolved powers.
Starmer says ok to deliver in devolved nations "even when devolved governments may oppose this"
No wonder #JohnSwinney doesn't trust Labour to protect #devolution
👏@stephengethins.bsky.social for raising in PMQs

Keir Starmer doing his best to further inflame the populous with "f**k devolved administrations". If he wanted to be a leader, maybe he'd get his balls out and support federalism.

First vote progressive nationalist party, list vote "not Labour" #labour #devolution #scotland

Keir Starmer: Leaked memo says ministers can go against Wales and Scotland The memo was obtained by Plaid Cymru, which has accused Labour of turning its back on devolution.

Seems the Super Soldier formula hit a slight snag. Gonna have to wait until the formula is refined. And in this case, reversed...

Right time to log on and see how the ‘new’, more inclusive, less adversarial and less Westminster, politics of devolution is coming along…

*Michael Adzema’s core thesis (*Prodigal Human* )

In *Prodigal Human*, Adzema argues that humanity has *devolved from a natural, integrated state*into civilization through a long chain of trauma and alienation.

Planetmates: The Great Reveal (Return to Grace Book 6) by Michael Adzema (Author) Book 5 of 10: Return to Grace See all formats and editions ANGELS IN NATURE BRINGING "TOUGH LOVE" AND A MESSAGE OF HOPE This is The Great Reveal — arranged by the Planetmates for the benefit of humans on the eve of the biggest challenge ever to face humans or even the planet at any time of its existence. Planetmates are the beings with whom we share this planet, our fellow Earth Citizens. This revelation comes in the form of prasads, a Sanskrit term, meaning a blessing from a divine being. The Planetmates explain who they are, who we are, what we think of ourselves … and why it is wrong, has always been wrong … and why it is now of dire importance for us to remember again the truth of us. On the eve of our imminent environmental implosion — with half of their species slated for extinction within mere decades, along with untold numbers of our own lives — they take us beyond our previous ideas about Nature, existence, humanity, soul, Divinity or God, goodness, love, happiness, and life. They bring astounding revelations on work, play, family, children, consciousness; and they correct our thinking on them in glorious ways. Altogether, they show something much more wondrous, yet more in keeping with what our sciences have come to know to be true. The Planetmates explain why we could never know or even imagine who we are and how we have always been “wrong-getted” in our thinking of our relation to Nature and Existence itself. It has to do with a uniquely human characteristic we developed, which turned truth on its head. However, through a fortuitous coming together of scientific and cultural understandings — available in history at only this time — we are told that our true Nature and relation to It All can be revealed with a possibility of it being understood. This is lucky and synchronistic, for these new understandings in our sciences and social sciences have become a necessity for…

Choreography of Defeat: The Fall of the 1979 Government This article reassesses the attempt by the Labour government in 1979 to overcome challenges faced without an overall majority; the collapse of the Lib-Lab Pact; internal party dissent; and referendum...

And for those interested in the linkages between the devolution referendums and the fall of the Callaghan government, I’d strongly recommend this from James Mitchell #devolution 6/6

‘The Best‐Laid Schemes o’ Mice an’ Men’? Proposals, Planning, Defeat, and Legacy, of Devolution in the 1970s* The question of whether devolved assemblies should be established for Scotland and Wales dominated considerable parliamentary time in the 1970s and became a key pillar of the Labour government's legi...

‘Far reaching and perhaps destructive’? The 1974–79 Labour Government, devolution and the emergence, and failure, of the Scotland and Wales Bill The story of devolution in the United Kingdom is a long and chequered one which long predates the establishment of devolved legislatures in Scotland and Wales after referendums in 1997. The devolut...

For those interested in the devolution debates of the 1970s, I’ve written widely about the 1974-79 Labour Government’s #devolution travails - from the torrid experience of the doomed Scotland & Wales Bill 1976 4/6

In Wales, the referendum would become a St David’s Day massacre. Facing intense opposition from its own backbenchers and local councillors, Labour’s #devolution proposals were long expected to face defeat. The scale of this defeat, on the other hand, would prove staggering for devolutionists 3/6

#OnThisDay in 1979, voters in Scotland & Wales went to the polls in the first #devolution referendums. After a torrid parliamentary journey, the Scotland & Wales Acts required a referendum with a weighted majority (the Yes vote had to equal 40% of the electorate) for devolution to enter force 1/6

Happy St David’s Day! #StDavidsDay #Devolution #HappierSimplerTimes

Great evening in Milton Keynes speaking to the MK Business Leaders Partnership. Good to hear views from across the City and discuss issues ranging from #domestic #abuse to serious organised crime as well as covering #devolution and #PersonalResponsibility.
