  • The last 12 months have been seismic for the Welsh political landscape. With a Senedd election now very much on the horizon the coming year promises to be just as intriguing

The article discusses the political landscape in Wales as it heads into 2025, highlighting several key challenges and developments. The Welsh Labour Party, led by Vaughan Gething, faces internal and external pressures, including the need to address economic growth, public services, and the controversial 20mph speed limit policy. The rise of the Reform UK party, which has seen a surge in support, particularly in areas like Blaenau Gwent, poses a new challenge to traditional parties. Additionally, new laws such as the introduction of a default 20mph speed limit in built-up areas and the potential for a tourism tax are set to impact Welsh politics. The article also touches on the ongoing debate over devolution, with calls for more powers to be devolved to Wales, and the implications of the next UK general election, which could influence the political dynamics in Wales. The piece concludes by noting the complexity of Welsh politics, with multiple parties and issues at play, setting the stage for a dynamic political year.
