Who'd have thought sheep could be dangerous . I suspect real sheep have more intelligence than some humans who through blind obedience follow the same well worn path as their forefathers only to see the same out come. |  |

The truth is the likes of you and several others like Cat, OHG and Scotia would never vote Labour.
Your view isnt shared by the Welsh population. More will vote for Labour or indeed Plaid who have very similar politics than will ever vote Tory in Wales. |
Correct.
Nye was right.
What sort of welshman votes for the Conservative and Unionist Party, friends of Farage and the DUP.
Stand up and fight back. |  |

You know know nothing about me other than my opinion differs from yours .Just to be clear I've never voted tory in my life but that may change if it means we get rid of this lot of shysters.
Please defend why Wales under a Labour administration has suffered decades of misadministration , why according to the Pisa results Wales’ schools system has been ranked the worst in the UK for the fifth time running in the international Pisa tests published in 2019 ? ( the next results are due out this year)
Why are we consistently bottom of the regional gross value added (GVA) league , why yet again the Se East
corner of Wales benefits the most from investment job creation and opportunities whilst the rest of us regress . |
You have Tory values, you should vote for them. | |

First taking your last paragraph. The poverty figure you refer to has gone on long before the Assembly was ever in place. There has been problems for years particularly in valleys areas and this goes back to the 60s and beyond.
As far as education much of it is down to ambition and also parental support. However the education also supports many very well. Gower College Swansea has 11 patients accepted by Oxbridge for 2019 and hundreds in other top universities as well.
Eleven students from Gower College Swansea have been offered a place to study at Oxford or Cambridge University in 2019.
Despite your efforts to put down our education Bishop Gore seemed to do well
How has Bishop Gore done?
The school say that 14 students achieved at least ten of the top A* or A grades, 25 achieved at least 7 of these top grades and 39 pupils achieved five or more A* or A grades across a range of subjects.
Speaking during her visit to King Henry VIII School in Abergavenny, Education Minister Kirsty Williams said:
Today we have seen an improvement in overall performance across Wales. I would like to congratulate all learners receiving their results today and to thank the teachers who have worked so hard to deliver these new qualifications.
Last year we saw a dramatic increase of 50% in entries for science GCSEs. I am pleased to see that entries and results are continuing on the upward trend, with more pupils gaining A*-C and more achieving the very top grades in Biology, Chemistry and Physics.
This increase in learners being entered means more young people are accessing qualifications that lead to greater opportunities for further science study and careers, paving the way for the future scientists of Wales. | | | |

Vote labour if you want to continue watching your country stagnant .But then I suppose an nice job in HMRC for example is isolated from every day struggles and for some that's all that matters . |
Why are you jealous of HMRC’s job ?
You could just say, well done mate for getting such a good job.
You must have worked hard.
You must have studied hard.
You must be a clever guy.

First paragraph, it's always the excuse, it happened before us...well what have Labour done to fix it in over 20 years? I've said this to you before, when the tories took over from LAbour, 3 years in they were getting grief for not fixing stuff, from Labour so why isn't 20 years enogh?
Education so now it's the kids have no ambition and the parents are crap....11 patients accepted you say? You probably missed all the debates about schools being dumbed down. The new curriculum will take that further, I've experienced it when my son was at a pioneer school. It's a disaster waiting to happen. Bishop Gore is one school in Swansea, how did all kids across Swansea do?
I tell you what, we can either take the Senedds word for it or we can wait for the PISA results, I'll do the latter and judge accordingly. | |

here is the info you asked for
Students across Swansea are celebrating their GCSE results.
The figures show 21.2% of pupils in Swansea gained A* and A grades in their WJEC exams, which is significantly better than the 18.4% for those in Wales as a whole.
More than 75% of students achieved the higher grades of A* to C in 15 of the 44 different subjects.
Meanwhile, the top grades of A* and A were awarded to over a third of all entrants in 8 subjects.
A total of 97.5% of GCSE examination entries in Swansea were passed (grades A* to G), and tops the Welsh pass rate for 2019 of 97.2%.
Some 66.8% GCSE students in Swansea scored A* to C grades, well above the comparable figure for all-Wales for 2019 of 62.8%.
Swansea Council’s cabinet member for education, Cllr Jennifer Raynor, said: “I visited Birchgrove School this morning and I was delighted to see so many happy faces among the pupils and their families and very proud staff. | | | |

It was only twenty odd years ago labour were getting 75% of the vote in Neath. Peter Hain had a majority of around 25000 at one point. That majority is down to around 5000 at the last election. Still a good majority but it’s a seat that would be amongst the last to fall in a labour collapse. It shows a trend that reflects a lot of the country. If people are drifting away from labour in Neath of all places then alarm bells should be ringing in party HQ. |
Peter Hain, I really hoped that I'd never hear is name again, if any politician had the attitude of me, me and me, it was that clown  |  | | |

You need to take a look at the Teachers, seems to me that the standard of teaching very poor and they provide poor value for money.

He was the original orange man. Trump had nothing on him. You could tell it wasn’t a real tan because Neath is covered in perma drizzle and smog from port Talbot. But then again you only saw him anywhere near Neath during election time just like his successor. |  |

Here is more detail in addition to that provided. 200 at a Russell Group university ie 24 of the top universities in the UK and 1000 going to university in 1 year alone and this is fairly typical. In my sons primary class 6 went to top 20 ranked UK universities and from his closest friends in secondary all went to Russell Group universities. 2 to sit Maths, 1 Chemistry and 1 Geophyics and that was not a top ranked school. The education system is nowhere near as poor as some make out. There is a disparity across Wales and locally some schools do much better largely due to having better catchment areas.

No jealousy from me far from it , personally I couldn't think of anything worse than messing up someone's life because of a "clerical" error , then having the affront to demand re payment because of some pasty faced office clerk with an index linked pension couldn't do their all so taxing (pun intended) job properly in the first place. | |
