This article does not make clear this is in England only. Scotland has also banned no-fault evections. Tenants in Wales and Northern Ireland enjoy fewer protections and can still face no-fault evections. #thatsdevolved www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

The Welsh Government has control of planning decisions around onshore wind farms in Wales. As such, there was never a ban on onshore wind in Wales like there was in England, and Ed Miliband's decision did not impact Wales @theguardian.com #thatsdevolved www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I've always been reluctant to jump on a headline which is incorrect if the article is ultimately correct (or corrected). But given how people consume news via social media, it's probably even more important that the headline/social media post is accurate.

Glad this is getting some real research behind it. Anecdotally I've noticed that outlets are a little better at adding 'in England' in print but remain awful in formats where it's harder to call them out. www.theguardian.com/media/2026/a...

This article from the Daily Mail does not make clear that this applies to universities in England only. Tuition fees are devolved, and there are different fee regimes across the nations. #thatsdevolved www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

That's Devolved @thatsdevolved.bsky.social · 11/06/2025

This article is incorrect. The funding of most public services in Wales are decided by the Senedd and the Welsh Gov. New public spending in England can lead to a Barrnet consequtial for any of the devolved nations. I can't believe I'm still saying this #thatsdevolved www.itv.com/news/2025-06...

This change would apply in England only. The Welsh Government has also not yet decided to implement the Cass report. The Senedd previously voted to not adopt the report's recommendations. #thatsdevolved www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/04...

This "article" from The Telegraph incorrectly refers to Wales as a principality. The story itself is also dangerous misinformation, which has seen friends of That's Devolved face harassment. #thatsdevolved

I can't tell if they genuinely misunderstood the tourist tax as it relates to Welsh speaking communities. In the sense West Wales gets a lot of tourist, so a lot of tax. But they seem to think it's funds the 2050 target. Or if it's anti Welsh language clickbait?? www.euronews.com/travel/2024/...

This is not 100% accurate. The Core Valley lines, including the infrastructure, are devolved and have been the reasonability of Transport for Wales since 2020. #thatsdevolved
