Today in the Bay 16:50 - Apr 30 with 2618 views | Boundy | Welsh Labour & Plaid Cymru are voting today to spend £120m on more politicians. Where would £120m be better spent ? I know of a few far more worthy and important causes | |

Mean while Morriston Hospital is a no go zone, A&E is at bursting point, my mate is a Senior Nurse at A&E and he forwarded a post on his Facebook page. [Post edited 30 Apr 21:44]

What about the £585 billion that the wealthy have in offshore accounts thereby avoiding many billions of unpaid tax. That would sort out a few problems in this country, why don’t the Tories go after some of that rather than cutting the benefits of physically and mentally disabled people? | | | | Login to get fewer ads

I was replying to Boundy who suggested that a wealthy person not paying tax would have no impact on his life. I am merely suggesting that it could. | | | |

Yet another whataboutery . what about the critical units , what about the mid 20th century road systems, what about the lack of job opportunity , what about the obscene amounts of money wasted , what about the additional 36 pigs in the trough along with their entourage, what about the disgraceful standard children's education. What about the some of the poorest children living in poverty or the forthcoming rural policies are putting thousands of jobs and their way of life at risk. ALL of the above is happening in Wales TODAY right now. Posters like you are the problem , totally oblivious either deliberately or ignorance to what's happening in Wales but have an unerring ability to point the finger at Westminster. How about Labour voters growing a pair and own their continual mistakes in voting this shower into power. By the way social care including disabled persons is the responsibility of the WAG all of which is another disaster. | |

I'll tell you what insulting, the fact everything I posted regarding the issues in Wales has been ignored , yet again . My opinion of Welsh Labour voters is not one of goodwill , if that's insulting then that's your problem not mine. As I said anyone who votes for them really is the cause of the problems we have today, all of which I've highlighted in a previous post. | |

But it’s not just Wales who’s having problems resourcing the NHS, the Conservative MP who defected to Labour last week specifically highlighted resourcing issues with the NHS as his reason for jumping ship. | | | |

The issue regarding tax isn’t whataboutery because it’s an issue that’s impacting on all of us every day, but it’s been like that for ages and it isn’t going to change regardless of who comes in. Public services in general rely on funding levels and should improve with more investment, but that money isn’t there because of a number of different reasons. In terms of additional politicians, your are 100%, right we do not need them and the money spent there should be kicked in to touch. I also believe we don’t need 22 local authorities in Wales, we could get rid/ merge a fair number of local authorities and using the savings to consolidate front line services. I had a Labour councillor and my local MP canvassing here recently, I expressed my displeasure at the state of somethings in Wales. | | | |

Or was he jumping ship because the conservatives will lose power soon. Personally I think if you want to defect there should be a by election. | | | |

There’s no reason for him to jump ship now because of the potential for the conservatives to lose power at the next GE because he’d previously said he wasn’t standing for re-election. In addition to being an MP the guy is a part time doctor in the NHS. I wouldn’t argue with your point about the by election, that guy Lee Anderson was a Labour politician, then conservative and now he’s a reform MP. Surely if you really believed in something you’d stay loyal to your beliefs. | | | |

I agree but with the caveat that sometimes parties move away from your beliefs. I firmly believe that the problem with the Conservative Party is that, because of Brexit, they ceased to be the party of the centre right and hounded out talented people like Dominic Grieve and Rory Stewart. What was left was the right of the party and people like Truss, Anderson, Braverman, Rees-Mogg, Patel and Badenoch were given positions of power. It’s no surprise that the lurch to the right has resulted in a collapse in their support. Even worse, many of them think that moving further right is the answer. History tells us that the party holding the centre ground holds power and the Tories have vacated the centre and allowed Starmer to occupy it. | | | |
