Scrapping juries for many offences may speed up courts, but it also sidelines citizens and raises trust issues.
For Wales, it underlines a simple point: major justice changes shouldn’t happen without Welsh consent.
A good moment to have the conversation about devolving justice and policing.

‘’Policy without reliable data is little more than guesswork dressed up as management’’

Anglocentric data framing is just one sign of the systemic way in which devolution was ‘set up to fail’ but more could have been done, and can be done, domestically to address this
How can Wales level up when the numbers don’t even add up?

Wales is repeatedly held back by the lack of reliable, Wales-specific data. Until Wales has the tools to properly measure its own performance, it can’t meaningfully shape its future.

This poll suggesting Reform would be the largest party in the Senedd in 2026, alongside an effective wipeout for the Conservatives, if replicated in the actual election, would set up an interesting Welsh Government dynamic for the next term - still no 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 leader for RUK though...

Love the blank picture for Reform’s leader in Wales!

Says it all.

No policies, no leader, no respect for Wales.

This is what I meant yesterday about big change after the boomer generation’s political weight starts to drop off.

Under-25s would elect 0 (yes, zero) Reform Senedd members, yet the boomers would deliver 32 (with 22 Tories too).

There’s a huge shift on the horizon.

👀 Plaid Cymru majority government and a Green opposition if it was just under-25s voting in the Senedd election.

Not a single Reform seat to be seen (they’re polling at 4% in this age group in Wales).

Analysis and breakdowns of demographic data and the way in which it translates in terms of Senedd representation incoming later - some very interesting patterns emerging (from the YouGov ITV Barn polling dataset 060525)
