Caernarfon is my hometown, so I do have a love for it, and its a wonderful place to visit. But I'm still surprised to see it as a "happiest place to live in Britain" list.

Another fun case in the series of "what is a public function" judicial reviews. Interesting bit in para 50 on principle of non-court interference in political party autonomy.

My question clearly struck a nerve. The faces of many Labour MPs told their own story – plenty of them know I was right. If Starmer’s convictions change with the political weather, it’s no surprise that support for Labour is falling through the floor.

It's always been absurd that the Welsh Govt (who controls Welsh language policy) has no power over media/broadcasting, an inherent part of how the Welsh language is shared and used.

This has been a constant issue in Wales. Something isn't working in terms of informing the people of Wales about democracy, devolution, rights and governance.

Personally, I love that both Irish and Welsh kept the word "glas" referring to a colour but then decided they should refer to different colours. Makes learning... fun?

"You need to be able to speak the language of the people you serve/teach" isn't really an unreasonable requirement for a job.
