Diolch.
This is where the candidates meet and also our candidate committees meet here.
This has been changed by Conservatives since we came here.
There's a big cabinet table in the same position.
And of course the President selects the portraits that are in here.
But his chair is the one on there.
When we first came here they had these huge throne chairs.
ac maen nhw'n edrych yn ddiddorol ar hyn o bryd.
Maen nhw'n mynd i fynd yn ôl ac yn dechrau gwneud pethau gweithredu yn fwy ymddygiadol.

Felly, mewn gwirionedd, mae'r ardal hwn yn y ffordd sydd wedi'i ddweud.
Felly, mae'r ardal hwn yn y ffordd sydd wedi'i ddweud.
Diolch.
