Drakeford will get over £150,000. Nicola sturgeon gets £157,000. Makes wonder why both get the same or in Nicola's cases than the UK prime minister for a population of 5% and 8% respectively of the UK population. |  |

Haven’t the English MP’s pay rise been shelved this year?
They should take a long hard look at themselves if they accept a pay rise when thousands are losing their jobs, homes and businesses |  |

The various devolved Governments have always been a job creation scheme for substandard politicians. You can see how bad things are in Westminster, and that's the highest level. Just imagine how piss poor the quality is in Edinburgh and Cardiff Bay. |  |

Looks like the senedd are going to give themselves a 2.4% pay increase as a reward for their efforts controlling the virus.
This despite inflation being around 0.5%. [Post edited 18 Dec 2020 13:44]

I'm sure if I performed as ineffectively as this lot I don't think I would be receiving an increase...underperforming, low-calibre 'MPs', yet there are people on here even, think they're doing a great job...you just can't make it up. |  |

Drakeford moaning about the trade deal already. Does he not know Wales voted to leave.
He said the UK would never get a trade deal no he is not happy that we have one.
I think he would have preferred a WTO deal so Welsh farmers would loose out and he could blame Westminster. | |

Looking at the WaGs drive towards rewilding large swathes of Wales and the impact that will have on farmers in the west of the country then what will we have left to trade . With proposals in the pipe line with the encouragement of many AMs the future of farming isn't the top of the list of priorities for the bay bunch [Post edited 24 Dec 2020 21:22]

He won't be happy until most of Wales is living in mud huts and using bow and arrows to catch food.

The rewilding of agriculture is much bigger than WAG, it's a broad theme of the Wstmnster Governments national agricultural policy. | | | |

Add that to the "Green recovery" and the wellbeing of future generations act and we could all live like hobbit outside of Cardiff.
In principle it's a good idea but we can't turn the entire country in to some sort of commune. | | | |

Not sure its a good idea at all , we need to be self sufficient and turning over farm land etc for example to the introduce beavers to the rivers is going to help.(in areas of Scotland they've caused problems due to flooding of agricultural land ) They've thrown £3.4 million at the Summit to Sea project in order to maintain landscape sustainability which understandably the FUW are strongly opposed to .Farmers have enough problems these days without this .Maybe all this country is good for is tourism ,if so they we need to accept that part time seasonal work is the best we can offer the next generation . | |

It was on May 18th that i posted and i hope everyone is still here participating in healthy debate, what i can say with confidence however is that my original statement is as true today as it was then.
People can witness there have been difficult decisions to have been taken and im glad I didnt have to preside over them. However i feel that playing top trumps with Westminster for no other reason than political posturing is proof that time is up for this second rate Assembly. | | | |

Now that the Oxford vaccine has arrived it is time for Drakeford and Gething to get their act together and catch up with vaccinations in Wales which are lagging behind the vaccinations rates in the other three home countries.
Drakeford can't now use the excuse that he does not enough low temperature fridges. | |

I see Drakeford's labour party are planning to introduce new legislation to delay the senedd elections by 6 months. No doubt this is being done to improve labour's chances of being elected. They are hoping enough of the voters will forget Drakeford's disastrous handling of the coronavirus pandemic in Wales. Plus of course with a 6 month delay 15 and half year old children will be 16 by the time of the new election date. | |

I see the delay as him getting a bit more rope, he'll have more than enough.
Shocking today wasn't it? All 4 governmental health advisors are saying we're at level 5 and still Drakeford won't commit to schools closing beyond the 18th, don't parents deserve a chance to plan?
Another bee in my bonnet, giving the first vaccinations to the elderly in care homes, should,'t the staff get it first and then other workers like teachers. Why are we giving the first jabs to the people least likely to spread it? Key workers should be first surely? That's NHS, police, carers and teachers | |

Johnson has overseen 75,000 covid deaths.
Germany 35,000.
Something has gone badly wrong in the uk.
Thank God for the experts who produced the vaccine.
Yep, the people are not so fed up with experts now. | |

Perhaps you ought to look at the figures as that may explain why Drakeford isnt committing beyond 18 Jan. Yesterday in Wales there were 1898 new cases. This is the 2nd lowest daily total since 5 December other than the days when lighthouse lab figures werent included so the rate is far lower than in England and has been dropping whilst England's is still rising. Yesterday there was nearly 20,000 more cases pro rata in England than in Wales.
The Welsh figures are dropping day as against the same day the previous week. In the 6 days to 23 Dec there was 16547. In the 6 days to yesterday there were 12785 a drop of almost a quarter. Lockdown should begin to work this week taking our figures lower. Who knows where our figures will be in 2 weeks time. It might well be the figures will be low enough to allow schools to open. It may not but making decisions now is not in the best interest of everyone.
Have a look at the differences between the 2 governments over exams. Wales acted decisively in cancelling exams as it was increasingly obvious it wasnt going to be a fair system this year. The UK government dithered only making a decision yesterday and creating uncertainty for students and parents.
The UK prime minister 6 times in an interview on Sunday claimed schools were safe and staying open. Yesterday after kids going back to school he announced last night schools were closing for 6 weeks. The UK governments inconsistency doesnt help anyone.
Wales announced a lockdown on 20 December to start immediately. Johnson didnt do so and the result is a sustained rise for some time longer than in Wales. Drakeford's policy working better than Johnson's.
As far as locking down care homes I agree with you. The first priority should have been vaccinating NHS staff first. They are in the front line and also it would prevent people going to hospital catching it. In fact, that is what has been done locally but many on here have been criticising them for doing so. The local health board had vaccinated nearly 6000 people by 27 December compared to 1 million in the UK. Swansea Bay has just under 1/8 of the Welsh population which in itself is 1/22 of the UK population so the Swansea Bay vaccination rate is 6000x8x22 which just over 1 million. The difference is Swansea Bay has vaccinated healthcare staff rather than patients first | | | |

I agree , staff working in care homes should get it first , for some its a second job or as agency workers moving between different homes. My in law passed away in one and she hadn't gone out through the door in months, a staff member brought it in | |

Good to see the three leaders in the devolved government and the UK government finally agreeing a national lockdown instead of seperate action. Also good to see the leader of the opposition agreeing it is the right course.
If we all work together and with the help of the vaccine we should get on top of the virus and back to some sort of normality.
Now is the time for the British people to stay home unless it is for exceptional and necessary reasons. | |
