George Thomas: Political Chameleon

One the day after the UK Government’s EU (Withdrawal) Bill had its second reading in the UK Parliament the Wales Governance Centre co-hosted an event about the bill in central London. Among the speakers were MPs, academics and legal experts.
One of the event’s highlights was a talk delivered by Daniel Denman, Director of Legal Advisors in DExEU - The Department for Exiting the EU. He shared a fascinating insight into how the bill was drafted and why the widely-criticised Henry VIII powers were framed so broadly.
In this episode of Golau we’ve reproduced his opening remarks in full to shed some light on the thinking behind the Bill.

Spain and the Catalan Crisis

To coincide with the events marking 20 years since the 1997 devolution referendum that led to the creation of the Welsh Assembly, the First Minister announced a new commission on Justice in Wales. Chaired by Lord Thomas of Cwmgiedd, the commission will look at all aspects of Justice and how the structures and practices of Law in Wales should be adapted to meet the new political and legal landscape of the 21st century.
In this talk Lord Thomas outlines his personal views about some of the key subjects the commission will have to consider:

Brexit from an Irish Perspective

Two years after its establishment under former First Minister Carwyn Jones, the Commission on Justice in Wales has published its report “Justice in Wales for the People of Wales” and formally presented it to the Welsh Government and Senedd. 

The chair of the Commission, former Chief Justice of England and Wales, Lord Thomas of Cwmgiedd, has been praised for the depth of the report's analysis and the clarity of its presentation, all framed within a central recommendation of full legislative devolution to Wales and separation of the longstanding ‘England and Wales’ legal jurisdiction.
We gathered three of our experts in legal and constitutional matters to delve deep into the report and what it means for the future of Wales.

"Insipid, Unpleasant and Dispiriting”

We don’t normally include event recordings on the Golau podcast feed (instead you can find a number of interesting speakers and public lectures on the Cardiff University podcast). However, this talk from the 2019 Wales Governance Centre Annual Lecture, delivered by Philip Rycroft (the former Permanent Secretary at the UK Government’s Department for Exiting the EU) is… well… something else. The audience in Cardiff Bay’s Pierhead found it interesting and provocative and we think you will too.
In the talk Philip talks about the choppy waters ahead for the constitutional future of the UK and the challenges that will be posed for future prime ministers by the as the bonds holding together the nations of the British Union come under increasing strain.

Wales and the UK Internal Market Bill

The 2019 UK General Election saw the Conservative Party win a host of constituencies in Labour's heartlands of the North of England and North East Wales. These seats had become collectively known as 'The Red Wall' during the campaign and their loss was to cause the Labour Party to reflect seriously on its connection with many of these former industrial areas.

To discuss the permanence (or not) of this change of allegiance and the societal, economic, and electoral factors that underpinned it, we are joined by Dr Thomas Prosser of Cardiff University, Phil Collins of The Draft and The New Statesman, and Paula Surridge of the University of Bristol and Deputy Director of the UK in a Changing Europe project.

Tribalism and self-interest in politics

In the run up to the Senedd & Holyrood elections, the Labour Party has started work on a number of projects aimed at remaking the way the UK works to provide a sustainable third way between independence and the status quo. The First Minister calls this 'home rule' and others are calling it 'Radical Federalism'.
This discussion chaired by Professor Laura McAllister follows a proposal by the Radical Federalism project for a 'People's Convention' in Wales to lay the groundwork for a renegotiation of the union. Laura is joined by Mick Antoniw MS, Beth Winter MP, Prof. Kevin Morgan and Prof. James Mitchell.
