We don't need sticking plasters to help 5 business areas. We need to undo the disaster that is #brexit

To those who voted to leave I say, you fucked up, your decision was a disaster, your judgement was very poor, you are not in a position to dictate policy.

The bad news about the economy will continue until the Government stop lying to us and itself that #BREXIT can be "made to work".

You can't build massive trade barriers to your nearest and largest trading partners and expect things to be good. To claim so is a folly. And that folly is fast becoming Labour's folly for which they will take the blame in 5 years

TLDR, it a small minority of extremists, who often don't live in Wales, but are Tories. They want children to be killed on the roads.

Wales’s 20mph speed limit saves lives and money. So why has it become a culture-war battlefield?

Paris is getting on with reducing cars, as they have realised people wildly overstate how many shoppers arrive by car...

'A study of people visiting shops in central Paris found that 54% arrived by public transport, 34% on foot, 7% by cycle and just 2% by car.'

Yes the budget is better than a tory one.

But we are still giving money to motorists while increasing rail fares. There really is zero understanding of climate change. It's so depressing.

if we do legalise assisted dieing, one safeguard that must be in place is that private, death for profit, organisations must not be legal.

Another bit of #brexit back tracking.... the sooner we join the SM & CU the sooner we can start benefiting rather than just limiting our losses.

The thing the tories have never understood, or understand and are dishonest about it, is regulation is good for business.

The only people who don't like regulations are the people who are fundamentally dishonest. The lack of decent regulations tips the balance in favour of the dishonest, the people after a fast buck at the expense of their customers and or employees.
