Welsh govt VONC

[hidetheelephants]

Loses a VONC, cries, won't resign. Wales is vying with Scotland and NI for the title of worst run devolved parliament.

[Mercdriver]

They have a long way to go to beat Scotlands record

In my opinion Wales already has that trophy sadly.

So the guy who brought in the widely disliked 20MPH was 'ill' so did not support the First Minister, and the member who was leaking messages and was sacked by the First Minister also was 'ill' and did not support him.

I am shocked!

[Vanden Saab]

And Starmer still supports him. Will this be his pincher moment? Amusing that he also says that Labour in Wales is his blueprint for power. It seems he meant hanging on to it after losing a no confidence vote. Even Useless stepped down after losing a similar vote.

Crying…how pathetic. What a loser.

Humza resigned before a VONC could be taken.

Obviously synonymous situations….

Who does he think he is Lesley Gore?




(it's my party & I'll cry if I want to!)

I recommend watching on catch up the BBC Wales Investigates special from earlier this week about where his money comes from and who he’s opened doors for, he’s either v v thick, v v gullible, totally tone deaf or missing a moral compass, possibly all four!!. Either way he’s not fit for the job.

"The first minister said that he and "so many people of colour have been traduced and vilified merely for raising concerns about how some of these debates have been handled"."

beautifully played

[troika]

Born Guessing.

The hopeless devolved govt was certainly a factor in me moving out of Wales.

is Wales a failed state?

It’s not even a state.

The Welsh “government” should be renamed Cymru County Council and their powers reduced to match.

Overall, on balance I think the experiment of these parish councils has failed and it’s time to end them.

Can anyone identify a positive in their history or a reason to continue with them. Another layer of government and additional expense. Get rid.

Baby boxes!

I’d support a referendum on dissolution of the Scottish and Welsh assemblies. Not sure what the view is in Northern Ireland, up till recently it looked like there was actually some progress being made but (from the outside looking in) it seems it may now have gone the way of the other two

It’s time to admit devolution in the UK has, widely, been an expensive disaster.

Having ‘more’ politicians is always the wrong answer.

[macron]

Sterner has confidence in him this morning.

Oh dear.

[Boom78]

Even as a proud Welshman I’ve said many times that I would be happy to see the senedd bulldozed into Cardiff Bay and power given back to Westminster. I don't know what they do or any justification for its expense! A bunch of powerless self serving parish council level types acting like MPs who couldn’t organise a piss up in a brewery!

[Wills2]

The example of Welsh labour is making me think twice on the run up to the election on whether to vote for Starmer.
