Labour Axe the Word ‘Us’ for Being Too “Exclusionary” in Devolved Wales

by Richard Eldred
25 May 2025 3:00 PM

Labour bosses in Wales have scrapped the word ‘us’ from their culture policy after complaints it was too “exclusionary”. The Mail has the story.

Welsh Labour has put together a set of principles to guide future culture sector policy – one being the idea that “culture brings us together”.

However, one of the many groups who attended the consultation for the plans told the Government they should “consider how the use of the word ‘us’ in this statement could seem exclusionary”.

The group told them the should use the word “everyone” instead.

It’s unclear which group had a problem with the phrasing but their influence saw ministers replace the word ‘us’ with ‘people’ in the final published policy strategy.

The final version of the policy was published this week and outlines how the culture sector in Wales will be managed from now until 2030.

Its first priority, under the revised heading “culture brings people together”, states the sector must “promote a modern and diverse Wales, reflecting the variety of people and cultures who call Wales their home”. …

Some of the new principles lay out what the Welsh Labour Government has dictated to be a suitable approach to national history.

It previously set out its expectations for cultural institutions to promote the “right historic narrative” in an anti-racist action plan.

The plan said: “Culture should take an inclusive, thoughtful and balanced approach to interpreting, commemorating and presenting our past, to how we consider and respond to contemporary issues, and to how we look to the future.” …

Another priority was making the cultural sector more environmentally friendly, with the document warning heritage assets are at risk due to hotter summers, rising sea levels and an increasing number of pests. …

It comes after taxpayers were left reeling this week when the Welsh Labour Government spent £250,000 on a project to count moths – while it continues to cut public services.

Worth reading in full.
