We are restructuring post the Senedd election and are looking at the future of our organisation and where the Welsh political landscape now sits.

Announcement pending end of June.

[Centre for Welsh Studies @CentreForWales]

After just shy of two years our Chief Operations Officer @EdwardSumner96 has left CWS to pursue a new role within the Welsh political arena, focusing on media and communications.

We wish Edward all the best. His help has been invaluable over the past couple of years.

With a trial of Universal Basic Income being proposed in Wales by the Welsh Government, it's a great time to share our report again from last year on why UBI isn't right for Wales.

With a trial of Universal Basic Income now looming in Wales, former Conservative Candidate @CharlieEvans0 has written for CWS on the reasons to oppose UBI and why it's such a flawed idea for Wales🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

It’s great to see the UK Government make this move 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

We released our Shared Prosperity Fund report last June, since then we have been the only think tank in Wales to call for this.

Money will be going straight to a local level, this is real devolution.

Targeted support is the opposite of UBI theory.

We think it's time to scrap this crazy idea, do you agree?

During a period of huge economic uncertainty, the Welsh Government should be focussing on creating long-term, well-paid jobs for people across the country.

Sign our petition if you agree that the UBI Trial in Wales should be scrapped - https://t.co/7KFmgylrBt

[Centre for Welsh Studies @CentreForWales]

In 2019, we started a campaign and released a research paper stating the case against the introduction of UBI in Wales. Many thought it was a pipe dream that would never happen here.

Well, Wales now will see a UBI trial.

[Taxed Enough Cymru @TaxedCymru]

For over a year we have warned that the Welsh Government will introduce UBI. Our fears have now been realised.

Creating new jobs, attracting investment and recovering from the pandemic should be the focus of the Welsh Government, not fantasy ideas.

[Taxed Enough Cymru @TaxedCymru]

Can you afford a major tax hike to pay for Universal Basic Income?

We didn’t think so ❌

Wales needs an economic recovery from Covid-19 based on jobs and investment, not ideological fantasy ideas.

Today is the first session in the @SeneddWales since the election.

MS’s will be deciding the following:

🔺Election of the Presiding Officer
🔺Election of the Deputy Presiding Officer
🔺Nomination of the First Minister

[Centre for Welsh Studies @CentreForWales]

This is a positive step for Wales, with Covid-19 rates so low it’s great to see the reopening of the economy and fans back at sporting events.

The focus of the Welsh Government for the next five years needs to be one of jobs and economic recovery, not constitutional reform 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[LBC News Wales @LBCNewsWales]

The full proposed list of pilot test events have been announced by the @WelshGovernment:

☪️ 12-14 May - Eid
🎉 15 May - Tafwyl
⚽ 18 May - Newport County League 2 Playoffs

⚽ 22 May - Swansea City Championship Playoffs

Congratulations to all candidates elected in Wales over the past few days 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

The next five years are going to be crucially important for the prosperity and future of Wales.

We look forward to working with MS’s to secure a freer, more prosperous Wales.

[Centre for Welsh Studies @CentreForWales]

We will have forgot some names but thank you these Senedd candidates for helping CWS so much since it's launch.

CWS would like to wish all candidates the best of luck today. Let's hope that the next Senedd term is one that promotes freedom, jobs, fairer taxes and investment in Wales.

We'd especially like to thank all those that have generously helped us grow over the years 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

One year ago today we launched our six-part series on devolution. Since then the series has been viewed tens of thousands of times across social media platforms 💻📱

Today we hope to see Welsh people making their most informed vote yet in a devolved election 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[Centre for Welsh Studies @CentreForWales]

This is the first video in our new six-part educational series on devolution.

12 months today, Wales will vote to elect its new Government and Parliament (previously known as the Assembly).

Every month we will be releasing a video to help you understand how devolution works.

[Centre for Welsh Studies @CentreForWales]

Last week we hosted our latest election webinar featuring @James_Evans91.

The discussion was on those that have grown up under devolution now standing for election. Listen to what James had to say below 👇
