The Housing Laws being processed currently are in a way good (helps reduce homelessness) and in a way bad (likely to over-crowd the courts, likely to put people of becoming landlords) with dial tilting slightly more towards bad than good but nevertheless overall policy heading in right direction. Don't think the Senedd gets everything right but more complex that saying it's all bad, or all good.
On the other hand the ban on petrol/diesel will see less money leave the economy to go to oil producing nations.

the more money that stays washing around the economy here it#ll end up in the exchequer eventually
