Was critical you didn’t cover Wales in a pre-election podcast recently, however I’m glad you covered this story (very accurately with great Welsh-word pronouncing too). Diolch yn fawr.

[sambarrett]

as someone Welsh seeing Novara talk about Welsh politics is wild, thank you 💓

[cobrowno]

Gething comes off like a villain in a political drama played by Giancarlo Esposito lol

[lucycox-zv]

It’s absolutely disgraceful that Labour are keeping the two child benefit cap. Theres absolutely no need to keep so many kids in poverty

[pieinher]

Blair, Starmer, Mi6, Netanyahu's ghouls

[nqa]

Money for Ukraine but no money for poor kids in the UK

[gabbajon]

why on earth should we buy the water companies? theyve made enough money off the taxpayer anyways. surely just take them into public ownership and not pay out a penny?

[RigorMortisRabbit]

whats so sad about seeing "first black minister" or any other "first" whatever, is that its rarely ever a person that does anything materially significant, to progress the issues that faces the people the said representation is supposed to represent.

[johnwilkinson]

They will never vote Tory because of Thatcher and Churchhill. They have long memories!!

[mixodorians]

Lots of English people live in Wales, and they have come here because ironically "England is like a foriegn country to me". We get Englands oddballs and pensioners (in the words of Paul Flynn..former Newport MP).

[spacemonkey]

Werent their corruption allegations even before he became first minister? The idea that his integrity is important to him is a tad ridiculous given the previous questions of corruption

[superducker]

Helena is reeeeally good. Love her critique

[rosemarycuthbert]

Hope the welsh and scots get independence

[Adamb]

Corruption at the top in multiple parties across the U.K., PR now, & massive consequences for any & all forms of corruption

Love to you let's just love each other

Love to you

[Bread_Media]

Helena is bang on about the Conservative mindset when it comes to legislation. I would love to see a longer, more in-depth discussion on this.

[julianshepherd]

ScotLab make alliances with the Tories at council level.
They certainly would not have anything to do with the SNP.

[itsPenguinBoy]

God, the next 4 years of screaming into the void and storing up "I told you so"s, are going to be so painful.

[davidmcintyre]

The south of England is of course where there is a combination of the most people and agricultural/industrial business and the least potable fresh water

[shamisengupta]

I love you Helena, but have to disagree when you say that Labour voters in deindustrialised areas would never vote for the Tories because of the decimation wrought by Thatcher. Much of the Labour stronghold in the North, i.e., the Red Wall Went to the Tories in 2019. I was pretty distraught, coming from Newcastle as I do, and knowing what Thatcher did to our communities. It’s not good to blame the voters, but I came pretty close to it in 2019.

27:40 - No this is copium. The rust belt states will 100% go Trump this time, with the only Michigan being questionable. Even Viriginia is in question, but it is too soon to tell.
