REFORM UK WELSH MANIFESTO COSTED
It's another Reform UK manifesto that's all about promises and claims to be cost-neutral, but the numbers in here suggest a £200–250m annual deficit plus large infrastructure costs.
Policies:
Income tax cut: £100m
Health reforms: £250m
Housing/infrastructure support: £100m
Other spending: £50m
Total new spending: £500m per year
"Savings":
Civil service cuts: £20m
Quango reform: £70m
NRW reform: £30m
Net Zero spending cuts: £120m
DEI / foreign aid: £20m
Total savings: £260m
plus £2–3bn infrastructure commitments.
This is a huge day in Welsh history.
It’s time for real change.

Zahawi will fit in very well in Reform, it seems.
I interviewed Nadhim Zahawi when he was Chancellor and questioned him about why HS2 was defined as a Wales project.
He was embarrassingly bad.
He said that:
"We will of course make sure that Wales is getting, obviously, a major terminal."
When I pointed out that none of HS2 was in Wales and the nearest terminal would be Crewe, he corrected himself saying:
"Wales is obviously getting, just across the border, the major terminal for HS2."

Rally in Rhyl today for Normal Government in Wales, where we keep our taxes here, and decide how to spend them ourselves, instead of giving it to the country next door.
Seems a sensible kind of idea

A great thread about TB in cattle
Wildlife not exonerated, but latency and cattle movements bigger issues than previously thought?
