Welsh Labour, happy to stay shackled to Westminster - £22bn to refurbish the Palace of Westminster, yet can't find the tiddlywinks required to give security to the National Museum of Wales in Cardiff. It's a broken model. Wales, consistently done up like a kipper on finances.

The First Minister has not ruled out a permanent closure of the National Museum of Wales in Cardiff, unless a new funding settlement from the UK Government is achieved. The building is in dire need of repairs, but the museum has just received a £4.5m cut to its budget. @ITVWales

Sadly SoSW has his facts wrong. We have repeatedly asked and called for furlough to be extended to support workers and businesses in Wales. Here's just one example:

Yet another reason for #IndyWales @YesCymru . It's not like Westminster takes notice of Wales as it is. A diminished voice with less representatives and gerrymandered borders gives Wales even less incentive to stay as part of the splintering union. @WalesOnline

The Boundary Commission will start work on the new Westminster seat boundaries in December 2020 - that should be completed by 2023. This unofficial analysis shows how it will likely give the Tories a *massive* advantage.

@LeightonAndrews Best of luck to @KLM in their continued battle for market share. Doing far more for Wales than @British_Airways with connections to Cardiff. Schipol a far nicer hub than Heathrow.

@kirstylewis6 No, Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP are doing a much better job of it. Welsh Government need to up their game. English exceptionalism has killed the Union. It's the last days of Rome now. I say this as someone born and brought up in England.

I suppose a woman holding a candle is considered far more illegal nowadays than a male Government minister giving multi million pound contracts to his friends neighbours and associates. The country is rotten.

@tompeck Have any journalists contacted @CommonsProcCom to see where they stand on clandestine communication devices, given that voting electronically seems out of bounds.

But instead they stole £160k from the disaster fund to clean up the tip. [£3,048,171.33 today assuming 5.6% inflation] To cover for their own criminal neglect. And they still can't seem to find the money today to remediate the remaining tips that tower over Welsh Communities.

"the trap that keeps us locked in the customs union and means we have this terrible Hobsons choice between, as it were, sacrificing Northern Ireland or remaining subject to the E.U. without having any say in the E.U." @BorisJohnson Spoiler alert: He sacrificed Northern Ireland

I see Postman Pat is trending. I don't think the series has been the same since the episode where Mrs. Goggins got mistakenly banged up for fraud after the Horizon postmasters computer scandal. It's taken taken a bit of a dark turn since.
