You have to forgive me if the content is not up to date as I started writing this in February. Unfortunately I have approximately 4 blog started but not published let alone the ones in my head!
"That's why politics is far too important to leave in the hands of politicians!"That's how I last closed the post in June 2017 and a lot of water has gone under the bridge since then. Leanne Wood replaced, and unfortunately in Jeremy Corbyn's case the London neo-liberal party of parliament got the media and press mechanism to get it out too.
It is heartning that Mark Drakeford is prime minister, and now the 'red clear water' between Welsh Labour and 'National' Labour with Starmer competing with flags and rhetoric to be the most Nationalistic British leader, and which, as Blair before him, supporting Imperialist NATO militarism, and accusing Stop the War coalition of siding with NATO enemies.
Of course now NATO is seen as the savior of the world, but that's another story.
It must be remembered that Mark Drakeford intends to stand down this session and there are more than enough blairite members desperate to take his place. And anyway, everything is relative and the governments faults would take many posts to discuss, and hopefully I will have published several posts by the time he leaves!
Of course it is the Tories who are still in power. And they got Brexit Done 'to protect and increase their wealth. And they are willing to betray their DUP friends in Northern Ireland and the peace treaty for the same reasons.
Boris Johnson lies, more of a party than politics?
Moving goods to northern Ireland like moving goods to Camden?
In the last blog I referred to the Yes campaign in Scotland and of course, mention must be made of the tremendous growth in Yes Cymru membership, but of course also the structural and political problems and the internal rebellion that did so much damage (with a narrative that the left is to blame).
I didn't join Yes Cymru because I didn't want to be a member of an organization where right-wing members were welcome, but I must point my sadness for these events.
It was therefore good to see the arrival of Undod and I am a member of this movementhttps://undod.cymru/cy/
We are a democratic movement, socialist, republicans established to secure independence for Wales. '
To solve the problems we face this is the kind of Wales I want to live and be a part of it.
