So much so that I struggle even to follow the commentary in Welsh of rugby games on SC4. At the present time, this might be regarded as a blessing in disguise. However, I am aware of Saint David’s Day falling on March 1 if only because of fading schoolboy memories. At risk of demonstra...

Send us Fan Mail This can be seen as a follow-up to my recent podcast on the developing political crisis facing Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

I find it a quite rewarding experience. Maybe it ha...
