  1. Welsh Labour don’t need UK Labour to do that. At least UK Labour can say they’ve not been power for 14 years.

  2. He’s right that it’s a problem but I don’t think it’s THE problem. Even if UK Labour went all out and gave Welsh Labour everything it asked for and then some, the public support has shifted for next years Senedd election.

  3. Welsh Labour is garbage. An English party. Plaid Cymru all the way.

  4. Waters is deluded. He drove the 20mph shit show burning tax payers money.

  5. Take some responsibility. 25 years to try and shape a modern, more prosperous Wales and all you can say is, sorry we don’t have the levers to really change anything.

  6. They are a problem. Welsh labour itself is also a problem.

  7. This is really poor. They’ve had 26 years in power and what do they have to show for it? Huge health inequalities and record waiting lists, declining education results, high levels of child poverty. They should have spent less time navel gazing and blaming the Tories and more time focusing on what matters. Now, when they’re face wipeout at the next Senedd election, instead of analysing their weaknesses they’re navel gazing and blaming UK Labour. Pathetic.

  8. I mean, it’s a bit rich of Lee Waters to say this, rather than say, just looking in the mirror. His 20mph policy I would say did as much, if not more, damage to Welsh labour.

    Then 2nd in line, is their mismanagement of the Welsh NHS, which has worse outcomes than the English NHS

    Then if we need a 3rd reason, we can look at the Welsh education system.

    The anipathy to UK labour is just the icing on the cake. The party in Wales has become patrician, complacent, unwilling to listen to Welsh people and addicted to vanity projects.

    I just wish there were other decent opposition options and my fear is the fact there isn’t, leads to nothing good for Wales.
