An English bibliotaph of fifty years residence in Wales pontificates about politics (slightly off-message), films and trivia. Acting secretary of Aberavon and Neath Liberal Democrats. Candidate for Neath in the Westminster elections of 1997 & 2017 and the Welsh general election of 2016.

Barnett abolition in Wales still on

I fully expect the policy of a new needs-based formula for Wales to be carried forward into our platform for the 2015 election, as evidenced by the pre-manifesto to be debated in Glasgow next month.
