Last week we saw history made.George Floyd’s murderer was found guilty on all counts,marking justice for a black victim of police brutality.

This has now prompted a federal investigation into the police force in that city, an investigation that I am sure will be rolled out across the whole of the United States.Then the following day, the Commonwealth War Graves Commission has admitted that institutional and systematic racism has stopped people of non-white racial backgrounds being given the recognition they deserve and are now going to address that.

Next week, we could deliver the biggest shock in Welsh electoral history by sending Emily Durrant to the Senedd as the first Welsh Green member of that Senedd.

The ITV Wales Welsh Barometer poll published last week suggests that this region is on the verge of doing just that.

This part of Wales could become famous as the new Lothians, the new Brighton and Hove, the new Belfast South, by “putting a Green in the room” by putting Emily where she deserves to be, in the Welsh Senedd.
