  1. Ah yes, the classic “blame our failings on someone else” line. Man i hate politics

  2. I’m genuinely interested to see what the Senedd comes up with as the next excuse for why Wales is slowly drifting backwards compared to England on devolved matters once the evil Tories are gone.

    The Scots at least have come to their senses and realised that unchecked SNP power isn’t good for the country after 9 years. Wales has been blindly voting for whatever shabby looking demi-nonce Welsh Labour have been putting up since 1999. 25 years of this shit.

  3. This excuse is so pathetic and masking the vast ineptitude of WG over the last several decades.

  4. I was gonna say ‘here come the Tory bootlickers’ but sadly they beat me to the punch.

    As a Welsh person currently living in England – you DO NOT want Tory rule. There are a bunch of things wrong back home, sure, but there are also sooo many things you take for granted.

    Sure vote Plaid, Greens or Libdems in (I have no love for Labour) but voting the Tories in to Wales is suicide.

  5. It does look as though Wales might buck the Labour tide sweeping the rest of the UK. These comments suggest Rayner thinks that as well.

  6. So all they need is a dictatorship and they will do their job?

  7. Will it make a difference by having a UK government that doesn’t set out to belittle and undermine devolution at every step? Who’s to say?

  8. Wales has been held back by labours for decades.

  9. Worst NHS and schools in the Uk, £33m million wasted on 20mph zones with a cost to the Welsh economy set to be 4.5 billion. Cardiff gets the money from Westminster and Cardiff decides what to spend that sum of money on. The only people you can blame is the Welsh government.

  10. How on earth can they say this with a straight face with all the shit they give the SNP when they say the same thing!

  11. It could almost be argued that the WG is a failed experiment.

  12. Barnet formula means we get more per head than England yet WG decides to spend less per head on NHS than in England.
    They spend money on vanity projects like increasing number of MSs, Welsh language and 20mph zone

  13. Both Labour and Conservatives are full of morons. There is little to no difference between the two of them and collude as a uniparty to keep the smaller parties out of a chance.

  14. There are other options than Labour or the Conservatives though! So why not go for one of them instead?
