Time to retire the conferred royal title of Prince of Wales. It has no relevance in a progressive, inclusive and forward looking Wales. The title serves no constitutional purpose and reeks of a colonialism from a bye gone age #notmyprince
In just 24 hours, over 10,000 sign petition against Prince of Wales title after it is handed to Prince William without any consultation. https://nation.cymru/news/prince-wales-william-petition/
The break up of the UK is now more likely now that the Queen is gone, journalist Andrew Neil has said. https://nation.cymru/news/break-up-of-the-uk-more-likely-now-queen-is-gone-journalist-andrew-neil-says/

"Declaring a new Prince of Wales with no discussion with the people of Wales wasn't right" https://nation.cymru/opinion/declaring-a-new-prince-of-wales-with-no-discussion-with-the-people-of-wales-wasnt-right/
Young anti-nuclear campaigners have protested against plans for new nuclear power stations to be built in Wales with a 70-mile march across Gwynedd and Anglesey. https://nation.cymru/news/campaigners-march-against-plans-for-new-nuclear-power-stations/
Mark Drakeford says he wasn't told there would be a new Prince of Wales before the announcement.
He added that there was no rush towards an investiture so that 'if there’s a debate to be had, to give a chance to that debate'. https://nation.cymru/news/mark-drakeford-prince-of-wales/
As it stands at the moment, only one third want any sort of monarchy, just over one third want it abolished, and the remaining third don't care.

I still don’t understand why the royal family did not ask people to donate money to charity instead of buying flowers. Food banks can do with all the help they can get right now.

Ten years ago today, this grotesque book was published.
It was written off as the fever dream of the Tory party's maverick libertarian fringe.
Today one of its authors is Chancellor of the Exchequer. Another is Prime Minister of the UK.
Happy #BritanniaUnchained day everyone!

So, Charles wasted no time in threatening the sacking of about a hundred of his staff.
The deafening silence over Brexit’s economic fallout.
The ONS forecast level of decline (which it is holding to) would result in lost revenues for the Treasury of roughly £40bn a year; enough for the equivalent of 6p off the 20p in the pound basic rate of income tax.

Nothing too revealing in this video but if you want to know what's happening in the #UK #Politics George Monbiot describes it well.
In case it wasn’t clear Conservatives don’t give a flying fuck about ordinary people (see energy bill scam) Kwasi Kwarteng decides now is the perfect time to rub all our noses in their shit:
