Still not explained why accidents causing serious injuries and deaths has only fallen by 2% in Wales but has fallen by 3% in the rest of the UK.
Not sure why you keep quoting the fall in minor collisions which have no impact on serious injuries. |

Only 20% of people want independence for Wales. The other sensible 80% want to remain part of the United Kingdom they know the benefits that bring.
Even in Scotland support for independence has fallen to 42% after the mess the SNP have made of Scotland. |

Why is Wales accidents reduction rate only 66% of the UK reduction rate? |

Accidents resulting in serious injury and deaths in the UK in 30mph and targeted 20 mph zones fell by 3% last year.
Accidents resulting in serious injury and deaths in Wales in combined 20 and 30mph zones fell by 2% 50 less than in the UK
Reduction in Accidents is almost entirely due to safer modern cars replacing older cars and better road designs especially modern new roads.
The question Drakeford need to answer is why Accidents rates are falling slower in Wales than the rest of the UK. |

Drakeford did not introduce the 30mph speed limit.
30 mph speed limits were introduced in 1934. |

Did you make up the £4 trillions figure?
Peak coal production in Wales was 60 million tons. Coal sold for 50p per ton in 1913 that makes total value of coal produced in Wales in 1913 worth £30 million.
Average cost productuon in wales pwas less than half amount. 100 years of coal production at that rate would be worth £150 million.
Adjusted for price inflation that is about £150 billion . You figure has been exaggerated by 2500 times.
Not sure what this has to do with Welsh Water though.
I do wish you would do some basic research rather than making gigurec up. |

We are all happy to share the wealth of the UK Particularly to the less well off regions in England, Scotland, Ni and Wales.
It is when nationalist like killy suggest water should be sold off for above market price to the Rest of the UK fail to see irony of his argument, while receiving the benefits of being part of the UK. |

Not nation recognised by the United Nations. Only the UK is a nation under international law. |

Wales gets more funding per person than England so are not underfunded. Just the Senedd waste it.
As I said wales could be silly and not supply the rest of the UK with water the dams would just over flow into the Rivers Wye, Deep and Severn all of which flow in England where the water companies would just pump ot out. Wales will of course lose the abstract fees they currently receive.
I guess England could refuse to supply Wales gas or oil as well as food.
All a bit pointless really.
It is amazing that Welsh water a not for profit water company, virtually nationalised is so inefficient and cannot manage water supplies, given that Wales has so much rain. |

Another myth perpetuated by Welsh nationalists that it would raised billions. If wales refused to provide water all the dams would simply overflow into the rivers Severn, Dee and Wye where the Water companies could just pump it out for free and Wales would lose the current water abstraction fees.
I guess England and Scotland could also charge extra for gas and oil transferred from the North Sea to Wales.
England could also charge extra for all the food grown in the fertile lowlands of England.
All nonsense of course they are all UK assets shared out around the UK. |

Yes Drakeford refused the government's offer of full funding as part of the UK national infrastructure programme.
Although he was happy to accept UK tax payers money , via the EU, for upgrading the A465 as part of EU infrastructure programme. |

The Welsh government figure say no such thing . They say serious injuries and deaths have fallen by 100 in 30mph and 20mph areas
They have not actually broken down those figures into 20mph and 30mph let alone produced a figure for a reduction in deaths.
The figures for q3 show of serious injuries 2% were deaths. Using the Welsh government figure of 100 fewer serios injuries that means 2 fewer deaths.
But again no breakdown into seperate 20mph or 30mph areas.
Accidents have been falling year or year. In the UK in q3 Road deaths also fell by 2%
Uk serious injuries down 4%
Uk deaths per billion miles travelled down 3%
Uk casualties per billion miles travelled down 6% |

Yes do you? 80% of Welsh people want to remain part of the democratic UK.
The majority of Wales, and a larger majority than the tiny majority that voted for the disaster that is devolution, voted the leave the undemocratic EU. |

Unfortunately human rights lawyers prevent quick decisions. Even foriegn criminals convicted of serious crimes can't be deported to their countries. All this paid for by legal aid and tax payers having to put then in expensive hotels. |

Seems Londoners did not object to a much bigger project that caused far more disruption. The east- west Elizabeth line much longer than the old oak common the Euston link. |
