Politics in Wales today Plaid Cymru are in partnership with Welsh Labour.

“Plaid Cymru has called for Eluned Morgan to be replaced as Health Minister and has accused Labour ministers of acting with “same arrogance” as Tories in refusing to shoulder responsibility.

Plaid Cymru Health spokesperson, Rhun ap Iorwerth, made the comments in the aftermath of the announcement on Monday that Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (BCUHB) was again being put into special measures due to growing concerns regarding safety.

Members of the board agreed to step down due to serious concerns from the health minister regarding the board’s performance, leadership and culture.

Speaking ahead of his speech to Plaid Cymru’s Spring Conference in Llanelli, Mr ap Iorwerth broadly welcomed the placing of the board back in special measures this week and said it should never have been brought out of special measures in 2020. But he attacked the decision to “humiliate and effectively sack” the Independent Members of the board.”

So it’s hardly a big surprise that we haven’t got the TVR matter resolved properly when our NHS is in the hole again.
I know Eluned Morgan, she's also our regional member for the Senedd. I've corresponded with her and her sloping shoulders extensively on the second home tax. She claims it's not their fault that councils impose the highest rate possible, just because they made a law allowing them to...

She's also on the Cabinet Sub-Committee on Cost of Living, for which I pointed out their plans to increase the rate to 300% was unacceptable with rising costs and council rates already rising significantly.

It's also quite interesting using the welsh govt official figures when they try to be creative...

Whilst enjoying a holiday last year in Wales (my ancestral homeland), a local Welsh plumber came to help.
He mentioned his difficulty in 'renewing' his mortgage. Some outright refusals and the offers had loaded interest rates.

The reason, his privately owned home was once upon a time, a council house.
Apparently a long-standung condition was in place, stipulating that the property could only be sold to an existing resident of the same county.

He was not pleased.

......................

I think during the additional second home tax debate, it was stated that the man called the First Minister, does have a second Welsh home, but of course hypocrite and politician, are often in the same sentence these days.

HMRC do permit owners of second homes, to nominate which one is to be considered their main residence.

Drakeford does indeed own a second home, but as it's defined as one he can only live in 90% of the time, it has an exclusion to the second home tax...

You can try to nominate which is your primary home, but as we found out, the council don't have to accept it...

I had better not make a public comment, about your second paragraph.

As for 90% - You have discovered the solution.
Create a legal condition for your own second home ownership - 'occupancy not permitted for more than 90% of each year'.
That is only 37 days when you cannot be there, which might already be the reality.

Can remove the condition in the future, if you ever wanted to sell.

Brilliant.

Apologies if I derail the thread and address the subject in the title wink

I was looking through my Le Mans pics from 2017 and stumbled across the ones of the new TVR that they drove (trailered) to Hotel de France.

It made me wonder whether everyone has had their deposit back.

Well, TVR have been working hard (chairman's words, not mine) to design the follow up car to the current prototype. Its a real stunner...



A free helicopter ride to the first person to name the model. wink

I have just worked out why the 'new' TVR project failed.
The directors and management, were asleep on the job.
It took far too long, achieving almost nothing.
There were more excuses than cars.

Compare TVR to this start-up car factory.
Nine and a half months to complete the factory build.
Then three months later, finished cars began leaving the factory.
Altogether, just 2 weeks over 1 year.

How far did TVR get after 1 year and what did they have to show for their efforts ?






(Oh, and the company name .....Tesla.)

Congratulations!!!

And here is your prize. This is your pilot, Mr Smith (he may not still look like this as it was taken 4 years ago), a TVR director and helicopter pilot who specialises in setting up and fitting out factories. Apparently....

One company has money - lots of it: the other has none.

In more related news, the Chimaera didn't go for it's MOT today due to two inches of snow on the ground. Not that the snow bothered me particularly, but the associated salt did.
