The runners and riders in the future of Wales.

So the interim report from the Commission on the Constitution in Wales has been released and surprise surprise the Commission finds that the present system of government in Wales is not sustainable.

Neither are the three alternatives a surprise.

A reformed devolution, the preference of the First Minister.

The  not quite halfway house of Federalism.

Independence.

The Commission has identified these as the three viable options. 

Not unexpected, but interesting that Independence has at last been conceded as an option by an official report.

The constraints on the Commission means that it gives no more weight to one option over the others, nor does it appear it will recommend one option over the others at the completion of its work.

This piece has no such constraints.

The two faces of Mark Drakeford.

First, an apology. This next piece was meant to be on the economy of an Independent Wales. That will come.

However, Independence will not happen until there is a pro Independence Senedd.

Welsh Labour, at present Unionist, at least among its leadership, has promised a Constitutional Commission to chart Wales' future.

Presumably, if they are serious, the findings of the Commission will also influence Wales Labour's position.

But are they serious?. Which face of Mark Drakeford will we see?
