For Wales, See Wales

Ep4: Labour's First Budget and Town Centres


Listen Later

In this episode, the gang look ahead to their predictions for the coming week - specifically Labour's first budget in Westminster and what that will mean for Wales.

Whilst Will is heading to Antigua for the cricket, Mel is going to the Senedd to celebrate Black History Month and Robin is hosting the Recycling Awards where Wales is crowned second best country in the world for recycling.

The three answer listeners' questions on how council cutbacks are affecting town centres across Wales and what the future may look like for the high street.

For Wales, See Wales is a weekly dive into the little known (but fascinating) world of Welsh politics. It is produced by HayMan Media.

About FWSW

100 years ago if you had picked up the Encyclopaedia Britannica and looked up “Wales” you would have seen four words - ‘For Wales, see England.’

This implied that Wales was no different to England. Not worthy of its own description. Second fiddle. Frankly, it implied that Wales was simply less of a country.

That is why we have launched our podcast: For Wales, See Wales.

It is a weekly look at Welsh politics looking at the issues that matter to people here.

There are so many people who are passionately Welsh, who care about Wales and want to better understand what is happening here.

The more informed people are on Welsh issues, the more they are able to hold politicians and decision makers to account for the things that affect their lives.

Just as importantly, we want to have a good laugh talking and learning about the country we love.

Plus we have some great merchandise which you can buy here: https://for-wales-see-wales.teemill.com/
