I couldn’t agree with this chap more!

I genuinely believe that you can’t fix what you don’t understand from the inside.

A career politician who’s never worked on a ward, never balanced a budget, or never run a business will always be one step removed from reality. They get their information from civil servants and lobbyists whereas people who’ve actually done the job feel it in their bones. For me, expertise and experience beats ideology every time.

Generalist politicians talk in slogans but those who have spent years in the trade know what actually works and what doesn’t.

We keep electing generalists with very little experience, then act surprised when the NHS stays broken and the economy keeps lagging.

To be clear, I’m not anti politician, I am just pro competence and I think the people who have walked the walk are best placed to do the job of running these huge government departments.

[Hello Starling @hellostarling_]

@WillHayCardiff Da iawn, Will! You and your team are marvellous and deserve all of the luck and success. Keep up the great work! 💛

[James Robinson @j_robinson]

There’s something in the air today. Something feels different.

Is it ‘fairness you can feel’? Or is it a feeling that Wales is about to be ‘fixed’? Or is it that there could be ‘new leadership for Wales?’

Whatever you feel today, please go and have your say by voting. It’s one of the greatest things we have and in some countries, citizens don’t have that right, so please, exercise your democratic right, regardless of who you vote for, please, go and put a cross in a box 🗳️

It's great to receive this kind of feedback from the lovely brands we work with. It's the kind of feedback that gets us out of bed in the morning to do what we do best: Media planning and buying that gets results 💪

With just 18 days until the Senedd elections, today is the last day to register to vote.

If you’re not on the electoral roll yet, go to https://t.co/wIr9cxyfXq before midnight tonight.

This election feels different and not just because we are electing 96 Members to a reformed Senedd with new powers and new constituencies.

This is a genuine chance for Wales to reset, to demand better public services, to tackle the housing crisis, to fix our NHS waiting lists, to protect our language and culture, and to start closing the prosperity gap.

But real change only happens when we understand the problems properly
In the first place, and that’s why I am a champion of @WillHayCardiff’s brilliant new book - Who Cares About Wales? Why the Welsh Need to Get Angry.

Will lays out exactly why so many people in Wales feel overlooked, frustrated, and sometimes forgotten and why that anger could actually be the fuel we need to build something better. There’s also a lush forward by the fabulous @carolvorders!

If you want to go into this election informed, fired up, and understanding of the deeper challenges we face (instead of just the usual soundbites you see from politicians), this book is essential reading.

When I finished it I genuinely thought differently about Cymru’s potential.

To get the conversation going, I’m going to gift 10 copies of the book. If you’d like one, just DM me.

There’s no catch, I just want more people across Wales reading this ahead of the election.

Wales deserves better but we only get better if we show up, get informed, and get angry in the right way 👌
