Lib Dems push for Crown Estate to be devolved to Wales

Oh really? Good stuff. Join in when you can. Give serious thought to our nations’ liberation whilst you’re at it.

Although it's admirable for the Liberal Democrats to call for the devolution of the Crown Estate to Wales only UK Labour have that power to do so. PM Keir Starmer and Labour have a simple choice to make. Devolve! If they don't. The people of Wales know which side they are on. And it's not ours. In 2026 the Senedd elections will be a litmus paper. Welsh Labour by then would have been in power for 27 years. In reality they achieved very little. New Labour had a huge majority between 1997-2010. They devolved hardly anything in that time. It was Plaid Cymru who forced Labour's arm with the One Wales agreement that gave Wales back it's Senedd Cymru after 600+ year absence. And where Plaid Cymru wants to reach for the sky for Wales, Welsh Labour prefers to bury its head in the sand. Who can recall former First Ministers Carwyn Jones & Mark Drakeford promising Wales they would get powers enjoyed by Scotland & Northern Ireland like Policing & Criminal Justice. Both failed. And yes , the Conservatives continually refuse pointblank the devolution of the simplest of powers to our Senedd such as the ability to create a National Bank Holiday to celebrate Saint David's Day. Why? Because they think of Wales as England's first trophy nation. A place to store water, a land only fit l to resource rape whenever they like. To them we are not a country but an English-owned satellite state on the western fringe of greater England. Also they , Welsh Labour, wrongly assumed having UK Labour in government at Westminster would treat Wales fairly and devolve those powers requested over the years denied by numerous Tory Welsh Secretaries. How naive , date I say it, stupid are they. Now we know the truth. Welsh Labour are spineless & toothless and cannot or will not put Wales first. Only Plaid Cymru would. For years we had an English Welsh Secretary David TC Davies who acted against the country he was supposedly in cabinet to represent. "Not one penny of HS2 consequential shall go to Wales" , this quisling said. And Labour lapdog Jo Stevens is no better. Only Wales will miss out on billions where Scotland & Northern Ireland will receive what's rightly due. Why we stand idle and do nothing when we've been slighted by both the Conservatives & Labour beggars belief? Either we stand up and fight or capitulate like cowards. I prefer to fight for Wales. You should too. Remember, Wales mirrors its people. Do something not nothing.

I wont hold my breath that Starmer and the Royals will do the right thing on Welsh Crown Estates, Clearly the Royals are raking it in on the backs of the UK taxpayer (Dispatches ch4) they would hardly notice the loss of the Crown Estates but greed knows no bounds
