| Reforms Dan Thomas on 07:44 - May 1 with 2498 views | Scotia | I don't think this is unusual really. Most councils are grossly underfunded from central government. The biggest cost is social care. What's Reform / Farage plan? Let's see:- https://www.facebook.com/watch He dosn't have one and gets roasted by a journalist on local radio. Made to look a fool. But Reform pledge to cut taxes - and several candidates in local elections actually specified cutting council tax. So how will Farage's non - plan be paid for? Seemingly by increasing taxes, the largest increase in council tax this year was 8.99% in Worcetershire. Led by Reform. So how will Reform pay for the 1% income tax cut in Wales? |  | |  |

None so blind as those who don't want to see. Thankfully the majority in Wales have opened their eyes and are removing the outdated Labour Party and looking for Wales to progress. |  | |  |

The Welsh are the indigenous people of this island and we demand respect. Our things and wind water and my minerals the languages the airport the national football and rugby team. The parliament and National Resources Wales. Reform and Dan are a threat to all of it. It is none of you business actually as you have flown the nest. Dan allowed a balance deficit in Barnet or wherever . Drakeford balanced the books. Reform encouraged Welsh people to vote Brexit and and friction to our trading. Export dropped 30%. Now they tell us we waste too much. Go figure. |  |

You’re so wrong , again, Drakeford is hated by so many for numerous things , wasting millions on a feasible study for the M4 relief road knowing full well that it wasn’t going ahead , this confirmed by a later announcement that all capital road schemes were cancelled, then oversaw an underspend of millions dispite the desperate state of our NHS / road and rail network/education/job prospects for our young, these millions having to be returned to the treasury.Then we have Covid where he tried playing god , keeping already desperate people in lockdown starting earlier and finishing later than England because he could, remember Xmas eve where even toy shops had to close , the guy is an egotistical 3rd rate councillor who had no right to be “leader” of our country and yet he’s tolerated by the likes of you and for the past 26 years people like you who believe regardless whether what ever bottom rankings we’re in that doesn’t matter because we’re Welsh not English . |  |

The M4 feasibility study is not a waste. it can be used in the future. Ground water investigations. planning stuff. Reform if they get in can use it. Wales lives within it means and is not as wasteful as Uber wasters Westminster. Johnson took the biscuit. Billions on of COVID tracing and useless PPE . You focus on toyshops being shut on Christmas eve... Wales certainly has to improve. We have ave been bottom of the class for some time. It is not because of Drakeford. |  |

Anyone who thinks a relief road is not required to bring good jobs to Wales is nothing other than idiot. Either the Greens or PC has said they will put a 50 mph speed limit on motorways in Wales, they may as well turn the lights off. The left leaning Welsh government wants to keep Wales poor so they keep voting for them. |  | |  |

The feasibility study has been done. It was found after the HH S2 funding disaster that it was not feasible. I do not like Dan and his crew. If they can persuade Contractors to take the risk on a toll road I will congratulate them . Sadly the £1.6billion is fantasy based on recent projects. The next Government can review the project and revisit the " Feasibility study" and use it if they are prepared to take the huge risks involved. You called it a waste. You follow the UK narrative. Everything outside the M25 is a waste. Monarchy, Olympics, Cross rail, House of Commons all valid of course . In the British National interest . |  |

Historical quote. But after years of debate, and, costs of £114m since 2013, just over six years ago, then-First Minister Mark Drakeford went back on a 2016 Labour manifesto pledge said the road would not be going ahead, due to a combination of factors - its cost and impact on the environment. He went against the finding of the public inquiry inspector's report which backed the scheme, although the inspector acknowledged it could not tell the Welsh Government how to spend its money. |  | |  |

You're obsessed with defending the Tory party. Or have you jumped ship when the going gets tough? Oh I forgot. The Tories have added a bit of white paint to that dark blue flag and call themselves a different name. I liken it to a company going bust and not paying their debts, then starting up again with no shame about owing the local businesses. [Post edited 1 May 18:07]
