The Week in Parliament

Westminster is back in action, and this week it is the Welsh who have declined to give me anything interesting to talk about. So we’ll avoid crossing the Severn for now and look at what else has been happening. Westminster A couple of weeks ago, we wrote about the Government’s much criticised plans to remove […]

Time to tackle terror- an extensive consultation on a complicated issue- but is it too long?
