It's been a hot minute since I've posted here on Substack. There's been a plethora of reasons for this, but the most pressing are that I began a new job and also became something of a father. Both of those alongside the fact that I have become much more politically active of late (I'm hoping to stand in the upcoming Senedd election) have meant that Substack has fallen a little bit by the wayside, unfortunately.
I was recently in a meeting where Substack was discussed heavily as a potential future for many journalists and there was considerable discussion surrounding the benefits it could have for communities and activists across Wales, and suffice to say I found myself in agreement with the points being made. I resolved then and there to revive my substack (Alongside a healthy rebranding) and continue publishing my work here, as well as continuing to publish with other publications across the Wales.
Alongside a new name and fresh coat of paint this publication now aims to influence Welsh politics for the better and serve as a snapshot of my political beliefs, ideals and aspirations both as a political journalist, and hopefully in the future, as a member of the Senedd. Further from that, I'll also be looking to potentially monetise this platform at a later date - This monetisation would be purely optional, nobody would have to pay for anything, all content here would be free, think of it as allowing donations!
Stay tuned for more soon.
