Emergency Starmer resignation pod with Mark Drakeford

Keir Starmer has announced he is stepping down as Prime Minister and Andy Burnham seems odds on to replace him. Robin, Mel and Will get together with special guest former First Minister Mark Drakeford to chew the fat on what has just happened and what it means for Wales.

Mark Drakeford breaks down what he would expect from a Burnham UK Government as well as why he thinks things went wrong for Starmer. 

The group also discussed whether MSs were right to walk out of the Senedd chamber after a controversial Reform speech? 

For watchers on Youtube you will get the added treat of seeing 4 people all accidentally dressing to match.

About FWSW

100 years ago if you had picked up the Encyclopaedia Britannica and looked up “Wales” you would have seen four words - ‘For Wales, see England.’ 

This implied that Wales was no different to England. Not worthy of its own description. Second fiddle. Frankly, it implied that Wales was simply less of a country. 

That is why we have launched our podcast: For Wales, See Wales.

It is a weekly look at Welsh politics looking at the issues that matter to people here.

There are so many people who are passionately Welsh, who care about Wales and want to better understand what is happening here. 

The more informed people are on Welsh issues, the more they are able to hold politicians and decision makers to account for the things that affect their lives. 

Just as importantly, we want to have a good laugh talking and learning about the country we love.
