It is just for a council seat so I doubt Starmer's government has all that much influence on the candidate.

Sultana was elected as a Labour MP at the 2024 general election but was suspended not long after, and has since sat in the Commons as an independent.

Not sure if this is incompetence or an editorial decision, but this reads like she was only a Labour MP for a few weeks when in fact she was elected in the 2019 election. Kinda lessens the impact of her leaving.

Looks really smooth and very impressive you managed to create it being a non-developer!

Alternatively, 'Shutdown' (with a capital), when refering to the 2015 grime track by Skepta.

Another well written piece!

Labour sold themselves as being able to create "a partnership in power" at the last General Election, but the whole dynamic is rigged. The way it is structured means that the partnership is similar to that of a parent and child. You can see Welsh Labour are wanting to create space between the two govs, but if push comes to shove, parliament can tell the Sennedd to sit on the naughty step and withdraw power.

I think the only way around this while keeping the union is for England to have their own devolved parliament. There can still be a UK-wide assembly, but this should operate similarly to the EU where each country can still have a fair bit of autonomy.

Despite what some idealistic people will say, independence will require a huge amount of bureaucracy to achieve which will dwarf that of leaving the EU.

I realise the Lib Dems are likely trying to put a wedge between the parties with this statement, but I am fairly certain they have been pushing for increase devolution which is a pretty similar viewpoint of Plaid at the moment.

DM brewmaster also seemed make so many funny plays. It just shows how strong they are when teamfighting and overall cohesion for those mistakes not to matter in the end.

Defo rooting for them when I watch the finals back!

Dŵr Cymru isn't quite publicly owned. It is structured as a not for profit, public benefit company, but still is privately owned.

I believe this is far better than the structure of the English companies, but definately had some failings, probably partly due to having such a large area to cover, but with comparatively fewer people to serve (meaning less revenue).

They are then put in a situation where the UK government expects investment to come in privately, but then the shareholders are more likely to invest in the English companies with returns.

I am not all that knowledgeable on the US egg industry, but wouldn't this mainly just the small scale farmers that would be struggling?

As it mentioned in the article, the large companies will have the leverage to raise the prices (article describes it as cartelization). And are then encouraged to keep the scale with compensation and I guess subsidies.

There are two pits, but just one rosh. He commutes between each pit on the day/night cycle and tosses anyone in his way, getting angrier the more heroes he tosses.

Ended up queuing oblivious to the patch yesterday, and the whole squad got quite confused that the dire side felt slightly different. Seems they are trying to compensate for the win rate diff.

 

Tories up to no good. Sorry it is WalesOnline, but still worth the read with an ad-blocker on.
