For Wales, See Wales

This week the gang gets lost in a world of word clouds. With the Senedd election only nine weeks away the look at pooling which suggests how voters in Wales actually feel about some of the political parties.

(Spoiler alert) the biggest word for Reform was “racist” which begs the question of why people think this and whether it actually hurts Nigel Farage’s party's ability to win?

100 years ago if you had picked up the Encyclopaedia Britannica and looked up “Wales” you would have seen four words - ‘For Wales, see England.’
This implied that Wales was no different to England. Not worthy of its own description. Second fiddle. Frankly, it implied that Wales was simply less of a country.
That is why we have launched our podcast: For Wales, See Wales.
It is a weekly look at Welsh politics looking at the issues that matter to people here.
There are so many people who are passionately Welsh, who care about Wales and want to better understand what is happening here.
The more informed people are on Welsh issues, the more they are able to hold politicians and decision makers to account for the things that affect their lives.
Just as importantly, we want to have a good laugh talking and learning about the country we love.

In this week's episode, the For Wales See Wales team look at the Welsh Government’s plan to make Wales an anti-racist nation by 2030 and ask whether we’re on track.

The trio look at how Reform's new leader in Wales, Dan Thomas, has a suprisingly progressive past, before asking whether Bangor University really should be defunded for refusing to host a Reform representative.

In this week’s episode, the team delve a little deeper into who the new leader of Reform in Wales, Dan Thomas, actually is and where he lives (definitely in Wales, as confirmed since we recorded this).

The trio also question whether newly defected Reform MS James Evans can really change his mind on Nigel Farage quite so quickly. 

Will also deep dives on why the current economic system will not allow Wales to thrive without support.

Following on from the Eluned Morgan interview the For Wales, See Wales gang discuss what the First Minister said. Is there really a digital revolution coming or did it in fact arrive two decades ago?

After dissecting their trip to the Senedd Will, Mel and Robin settle into talk about the plans of Reform and the Welsh Tories to scrap the 20mph limit. Turns out, there isn’t really a plan, just an angry vibe.
