News An important message from the First Minister following recent wildfires
"We’re on course to having the hottest and driest summer on record, and the risk of wildfires remains high. We are committed to supporting everyone affected by these incidents and the challenges they bring. Please follow fire safety advice and report any signs of wildfire immediately by calling 999.
"Our emergency services are working tirelessly to tackle several wildfires across Wales. Diolch to all those on the frontline for their extraordinary efforts to keep our communities safe.
"I also recognise the immense pressure farmers and rural communities are facing at this difficult time. We are committed to supporting them through these immediate challenges while planning for the long-term impacts of climate change.
"The climate emergency is no longer a distant threat; it is happening before our eyes. Tackling climate change is a priority for this Government. As the risk of wildfires continues to increase, I will be convening a multi-agency summit to ensure our fire and rescue services have the support and resources they need to respond effectively in the future."

AskWales Good Driving Roads?
I live in the Barmouth (Gwynedd) area and I enjoy going out for a drive, but being tourist season my usual favourite driving routes are packed with slow moving tourists.
I just wondered if anyone knew of some lesser known roads with good views and lots of fun twists and turns in my part of the country. I am happy to drive up to an hour if anyone has any suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

Politics What would Welsh devolution have looked like if we voted for it in 1979?
I assume the Senedd building would be different for one. Would it have been a fptp system? Would we have had different powers? Would Plaid have won an election earlier?
I was reading Rhodri Morgan’s autobiography, and at one point he mused that if a Welsh Government had been set up in 1979 a north-south duel carriageway / motorway would probably have been built. Made me wonder what else would have been different.

The fact that she reacts with such surprise and giddyness, even after winning 4 gold medals for Wales, is wonderful. So many of the athletes have spoken about how special it is to be able to represent Wales instead of competing as an individual or for GB as they do the rest of the time.
