@NationCymru Without doubt!

RIP Prince Philip:
“All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again”.1 v7 Ecclesiastes- his favourite book of the Bible, as he told me at the opening of the 4th Assembly in 2011.
A life well lived.

So moved by all the kind comments. But I am not sure I deserve such praise having shouted No so trenchantly to devolution in the 1990s! We can all change!!

[David Melding @DavidMelding]

With today’s post I will depart the political scene and await what may be truly momentous events.

The UK’s body politic is stuck in the world of pre X-ray medicine. It relies on observation with all its subjective flaws of the moment.

Wales needs a Covid inquiry and so does the U.K. And quick!

The question “do we know it works?” is the most important a government minister can ask.

All things come to an end but what a privilege to have had the opportunity to serve. I wish the very best to all those who will be elected to the 6th Senedd as I move to pastures new!

The Charity Commission @ChtyCommission wants to help charity trustees in Wales unlock funds lying idle in dormant accounts. If you believe you are eligible, please contact the Revitalising Trusts Programme for advice and support https://t.co/OkAZ7JbnBu

[Charity Commission @ChtyCommission]

Today we’re announcing the launch of the Revitalising Trusts Programme in Wales. We plan to contact over 200 charities in Wales to release around £25 million from dormant accounts, so other charities can benefit.

@NationCymru @rhysjonesld This is such an important article and all in Welsh political life should read and act.

@russinthezone Thanks Russell, I hope you are well!

A tribute today to Bill Davies, my former boss, and someone who both saved and created a great Welsh institution.

@Ryland1 Astute point. I recommend a Folio Society title: Mass-Observation Britain in the Second World War.

One year ago I started a journal “Contagion, Care and Compassion” and here are some extracts from the first week. #TheLastoftheUnionists

Historically the great constitutional question facing unionism returns to its starting point. What political investment is England prepared to make in the struggle to save the Union?

@BBCWales @BBCiPlayer Excellent series: informative, skilful and engaging. Would have brought many to a fuller appreciation of Welsh art.

Pleased to support Young Carers on #YoungCarersActionDay. They need more support, especially in these difficult times.

[David Melding @DavidMelding]

Amen and God bless you all.

[Remembering Srebrenica @SrebrenicaUK]

As we mark Mother's Day, let us reflect on the strength & courage of the Mothers of Srebrenica who have devoted their lives to campaigning for truth & justice & keeping the memory of their loved ones alive. They are, & always will be, an inspiration to us all. #HappyMothersDay

[David Melding @DavidMelding]

Concealing common ground does the electorate no favours. This was the insight of Ieuan Wyn Jones and Nick Bourne in the early days of Welsh devolution.

There are few things more wicked in political life than quoting an opponent in context! I have a good mind to sue the First Minister for substantial political damages!!
