2021 has been a stellar year for Redaction Report – we’ve expanded our content substantially since 2020, bringing you more fresh, independent journalism to read, watch and listen to.

As we approach the end of the year, here is a selection of some of our favourite articles we’ve featured in 2021.

Welsh independence: Covid-19 pandemic has ‘shaken people’s belief’ in Westminster, activist says

In the UK, each of the four home nations has handled Covid separately, with devolved powers allowing Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland greater flexibility in their response.

However, the measures have been met with some criticism. Reporter Josie O’Brien spoke to critics of the idea about the problems it raises.
