No we don't, he is kept there by the cardiff bubble and the valleys who would vote for anything with a red rossette pinned to it. He lost it because someone pointed out that the health system in Wales is dire under a labour government ,and they continually try to blame westminister but it's the Welsh government that has control over how the money is spent when it comes to health. Labour has run down our health system, Drakeford as health minister started the massive downgrade of our general hospital forcing people to travel an hour to the next county for many treatments( could that be that my county continually vote tory), drakeford also voted to reduce the amount spent on health. He didn't answer the question because it would show him and labour are guilty of ruining our health system, the sooner he goes the better for all of us.

That's the thing, Labour have ran Wales for ever, yet moan that everything is the Tories fault. Would him going make any difference, or would it need Labour to lose control, because I doubt that will ever happen in Wales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOPGUN749 Posted October 20, 2022 Report Share Posted October 20, 2022 It’s a historic thing in Wales for most to vote Labour,it may never change,but at least they give us all free prescriptions,and bus passes at 60.Also if anyone can find an NHS dentist the charges are lower than England.

The idea behind it is of course to free up cottages for youngsters, but as one local villager told me, most of them cannot afford them and most of them do not wish to live in some remote area.

The bus service is dire in my county, i looked at going to work on the bus instead of taking the bike in bad weather, it's a 9 mile journey, 15-20 mins on the bike, for the bus i have to walk a mile and a half to the bus stop, then the bus goes to the next town, from there it goes to another town where you wait for a while and finally gets to the town i work i then have to walk a quarter of a mile. The bus journey takes an hour 15 mins. Stick to the bike. At least we now get two trains a day into the town one in the morning and one in the evening.
