Episode: Smacking ban, Basic Income & a bigger Senedd
Description: With March 2022 holding February 2022's beer, we take the opportunity to look back on the news from domestic politics in Wales and, of course, touch on the terrible events in Eastern Europe as Russia invades Ukraine.
We are joined by Jonathan Williams of UBI Lab Wales and The National to discuss the new not-quite-a-UBI Basic Income pilot for care leavers and the imminent demise of the 'reasonable chastisement' defence, commonly known as the 'smacking ban'.
