But would he have been so cautious if he had to balance the books and not been subsidised by the English taxpayer through Furlough and the likes. |
At the end of 2019/20 public sector net debt was £1,798 billion (i.e. £1.8 trillion).
84% of GDP.
This is equivalent to around £26,900 per person in the UK.
The UK has no money. |  |

I noticed today that the square between the sail bridge & the J shed down SA1 has been cordoned off with fencing today, odd that, it wasn't there yesterday... so Swansea council can't be happy with Drakeford |  |

If th UK has no money then by definition neither do any of the constituent parts.
Wales amd Scotland must have no money either. | |

I agree with you in principle but if it was not for the vaccination program we would not be moving forward now. This has nothing to do with Drakeford if anything he has been a hinderance. |
Drakefords reaction to a question asked why Wales had such a slow vaccine roll out, was "This is not a sprint or a race" or words to that effect.
Luckily, he speeded things up after he got his sorry ar*e kicked into gear, to think we'll have this buffoon running Wales for the next 5 years. |  |

From the 26th when outdoor hospitality opens, it looks good on paper, but from what I can see the majority of places will be bookings only, and a max 2 hour stay?
And to answer the OP, No Drakeford is not getting it right, he shut down within a few weeks pre chrimbo when the cases were rising, yet he is unwilling to be as swift, in removing the restrictions, when there are hardly any cases for weeks. [Post edited 24 Apr 2021 1:00]

The restrictions have and continue to save lives, and that's all that matters.If someone can't go to the pub for their weekly pint of piss or can't go and lift some weights , then too bad , for now anyway | | | |

Yes vaccines are saving lives. There is no evidence that drunk outside causes more cases. Pubs opened for drinking outside in July but cases did not start to rise until late September when schools and university reopened. | |

The vaccines in Wales have been administered by our marvellous Welsh NHS.
Health is devolved.
Well done everyone - including Professor Drakeford.
Saved many lives without a doubt. |
Are you also proud of the Welsh NHS for the 100s of 1000s on waiting lists? This too administered by the Labour Welsh Government and Professor Dickford... |  |

You can not ignore the record number of mental health issues during the pandemic. The longer the restrictions last the longer the problem will. Its a trade off I know, but things are not as simple as people going for their pint and lifting some weights. |  | | |

No it doesn't because it was your incorrect statement in the first place. Think of it this way, if England wasn't subsidising the other Uk members, it would be much better off.
Officially Wales and Scotland are both running at a loss, Wales is subsidised by over 13 billion and Scotland,
https://www.gov.uk/government/
If Westminster took away the subsidy to ales it wipes out the NHS and social services budget AND Housing and Local Government. Wales would collapse.
I know Plaid dispute the figures but Again, when I engaged with ap Iortwerth all he mentioned was the defence budget and how Wales would save around 1 billion per year, he never mentioned tax returns.
So yet again, you are wrong. Well done for such fantastic consistency. | |

Let's take a look at the recent palaver surrounding large gatherings of (mostly) young people drinking, and the associated issues with litter and disorder.
There was one easy solution to this problem, and that is opening outside hospitality at the same time as England or even earlier, given how good the Covid situation is here. It would've suited all stakeholders- Bussinesses get to earn, and we know Covid is nearly impossible to transmit outside. Regulated environments, 6 to a table, no litter.
But no, once again for no other discernible reason than to be different to England, we had to open ours 2 weeks later. Instead he invites everyone to pile down to Tenby on a fine bank holiday weekend and feigns horror when the
Main drag has people pitching up with BBQ's in the middle of the street and the harbour is about 6 inches deep in piss and empty cans and bottles.
People have started to realise down here yes, blame the people littering and pissing about the place, but the blame lands squarely at Mr Drakeford's door too. If given a choice, most people pick a pub garden and a draught pint over standing around drinking lukewarm cans of carling. | | | |

I have to disagree. Wales doesn't raise as much in taxes as we spend, what we get in subsidy comes from English taxes, remember Scotland and NI run at deficits too.
I wonder why England, or at least Westminster is so keen to keep the union together because England would be so much better off without the rest of us. Between us, NI and Scotland we have around a 36 billion deficit. If you're an English tax payer you may wonder why they pay so much to give the rest of us. | |

Because the UK is one country. It would make no sense to have hard borders between England Wales and Scotland. We speak a common language, have a common culture, a common currency, drive on the same side of the road, and have national infrastructure that suits everyone in the UK. | |

Yes, lockdowns and distancing reduced the cases as it's too early for the vaccines to fully take effect yet to the extent that cases have dropped so much. Other countries who have progressed well with the vaccines and haven't had lockdowns haven't done so well
Drinking outside may be fine, but it's when it moves indoors the problems will start.When pubs start to get the customers in and see the money rolling in, all restrictions will go out of the window | | | |

There hasn't been an increase in suicides or attempts, so the mental health argument doesn't stand up | | | |
