| Election on 22:25 - May 10 by Dr_Winston | Under normal circumstances I'd agree. Most politicians would have done the honourable thing by now. Not sure if honour is a trait Starmer possesses however. Bringing in Goldfinger Brown as economics adviser and Paedo apologist Harman as "Women and Girls" expert just screams that he's desperate to cling onto power but has no serious idea of how to do so. |

| Election on 15:39 - May 10 by union_jack | There’s one absolute tw@t on the other site comparing Wales in the UK as Germany being run by France. He’s now all cock-a-hoop that PC have won the election and Wales is on its way to independence in the future. Aided and abetted by similar intellectually challenged posters. It was even posted that amongst the resources Wales is rich in and could sell for self sufficiency is coal. That’s not actually keeping up with the way the world is developing its energy currently. Oh, and an independent survey apparently states that Wakes can definitely go it alone. What they don’t realise is that I could commission a study proving beyond doubt that Hitler was a thoroughly decent chap! |
I'm am 100% serious here, I am NOT kidding! The guy who did the France and Germany comparison was the very one on here previously whom said that a four foot pole is too long to be used as a murder weapon by a normal person, stating that only a martial artist has skills to use one, because of the length. He failed to realise that striking with a foot foot pole with an adjusted hand spacing one foot higher up shortens a pole by that very hand spacing adjustment. Labourers have been demolishing plaster and lath walls with wrecking bars that way since time immemorial. He is that thick! I guess he's a failed bucket designer, oblivious where to put the carrying handle and failing to realise that a bucket filled with water being carried upside down ends up with its contents all over the floor! |  |

'Ron Jones' looks to be already on the defensive in prepararation to play the blame game well in advance by stating that Westminster could 'punish' Wales for the Senedd result. Funny that, bearing in mind how Plaid and Labour have been kith n' kin in the past! Like I mentioned previously i.e. my own and many others have a clear conscience, because we never voted for past and future preventable deaths (in thousands!) where/when many thousands have been unable to get an ambulance a.s.a.p, or failed to get through ("Sorry triage is now closed") G.P system in 'race against time' circumstances. Sepsis etc arrives far quicker than an ambulance and tomorrows open triage line, nowadays! |  |

| Election on 09:41 - May 11 with 1562 views | Dr_Winston | Basically Wales has swapped Labour supported by Plaid for Plaid supported by Labour. Unfortunately Plaid are even crazier. If there was a party that supported Welsh independence but wanted to do it by weaning us off public sector dependence and turning Wales into a low tax, low regulation, business friendly country, basically the Singapore of Europe, then I'd absolutely consider voting for them. A Socialist, Nanny State Wales the way Plaid seem to want it would see refugees in dinghies desperately paddling to Devon for a better life. |  |

I looked up "Dr Q. Manivannan" (the new Green MSP), wondering if "they" could indeed be a doctor studying for a PhD (which can happen with medical doctors who fancy moving across into research). Actually, despite the Dr title "they" give themselves, Q's degrees are a B.A. in Liberal Arts and Humanities and an M.Phil in Peace Studies. Q is registered to undertake PhD studies at St Andrews linked to an ESRC project on "Archiving and (Re)imagining Caregiving as Peacebuilding in Third World Social Movements" (a project mainly about Indian protest movements). Looks like a bit of a fibber.

Ugandan trees are pretty irreverent. The Senedd over hyped it and Reform supporter ran with it knowing it was a nonsense issue. £270k is around £5k a week,. It is about what Swansea city pay their third choice goalkeeper Paul Farman, The Senedd plants a few hundred saplings employing 200+ economically hard pressed women perhaps? . Paul never actually plays and is kept as insurance and to help the main keepers. Senedd stupidity "pouring money down the drain"???? I think not. Clowns will still lap it up though. It is a green charity. I am appalled that a Labour MP falls for Reform nonsense. Welsh people should be asking where the HS2 money is ? why the King gets a £45m pay rise as a cut off your electricity bill>? and looking on incredulously at the grossly inflated £40 ,000,000,000 (count the noughts) bill for the House of Westminster renovation. Ugandan trees . Give me a break. |  |

She is absolutely right in exactly the same way that the late Peter Law was right about insane wastage on vanity projects, that came before desperately required NHS spending, millions upon millions poured down the drain. And to think he was Labour, in fact seeing him lay into that idiot Rhodri Morgan was admirable. He was a better opposition player, at times than the opposition themselves. Sadly the (SW Wales cancer specialist protest resignation aside) obscene ineptitude and reverse prioritisation has been relentless with vital services being blatantly ignored. It happened to a close family member of mine who had cancer, the wait to see an oncologist took six weeks from diagnosis's, the treatment promised never arrived on time, it took so long that he became to weak to have it. That was over twenty years ago, nothings changed for many. Sadly I was recently told last week of a guy who had a rare leukemia type (CMML) he needlessly died before he could have therapy promised. He was suitable and had gone to Cardiff and was given the go ahead, because he was an ideal candidate. His treatment arrived too late also. The delays are unforgivable. Sobering to think that idiots have voted for that monstrosity in Cardiff Bay, are obviously completely oblivious to the thousands that have needlessly died, or died way earlier than they should have. The A+E figures last year (close to a thousand) who died needlessly did not include dying before an ambulance arrived, or from preventable illness progression and impactive prognosis/outcomes made worse by appalling delays! Fancy voting to have a loved one to die lying in their own faeces and urine whilst waiting 12+ hours for an ambulance to turn up. Sick innit! [Post edited 12 May 23:31]

Its strange how the pay wall comes up sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. |  | |  |
| Election on 21:52 - May 12 with 1014 views | Wingstandwood | Another interesting fact! I am NOT a WALT this is the truth! When an elderly Welsh patient with a fractured pelvis (just as one example) is still waiting for an ambulance many hours after a fall, Welsh NHS will ring with a follow-up to the 999 callers/patients residence to reassure that the person of concern has not been forgotten, and to access the current situation. Often concerned relatives demand that paramedics/ambulance arrive a.s.a.p by stating the patient’s obvious pain/distress, and the fact that it has been many hours since that person has gone to the toilet. The advise/protocol given about going to the toilet? If possible and advisable, cut away clothing with a pair of scissors to prevent further injury/damage/illness, place a towel underneath and have the stricken individual urinate/defecate in situ, sofa, floor, bed. It is not advisable for O.A.P patients with chronic kidney disease to hold their water in for hours on end. That is the modern day devolved Welsh NHS! That is where 27 years of Cardiff Bay has taken us. Third world or what! And people have voted for it and celebrate "an absolutely brilliant result" .... Thank God my conscience is clear!

I seldom agree with your postings, but on the Ugandan trees business I tend to agree with you. The money spent over the course of the project is in the overall context of things very small, but it’s a sum that would make a huge difference to the lives of the people in that area. Whilst the WG are getting slammed, I wonder why nothing has been mentioned about the £150m that Boris and his Conservative government committed to spending on supporting projects to tackle deforestation and the £3bn commitment to protect bio diversity including rainforests between 2021 and 2026. The way 20mph was introduced was poor. |  | |  |

Probably because it was Senedd elections and not Westminster and about Senedd issues and spending. If these Labour policies were not important and the right thing to do why did Labour get obliterated in the election. Much as some try to belittle these policies and say they are nothing, they actually were to the voters and that is why we had a change of government in Wales, if anyone can't see that they are out of touch with reality. |  | |  |

Well, we never heard a peep from certain sections of the media at the Westminster elections about Boris’s spending on rainforests, but the media certainly made an issue of it during the Senedd election! I believe that what we’ve seen from certain quarters is hypocrisy, and in the grand scheme of things it’s my belief that the Uganda rainforest issue is an example of a mountain being made out of a mole hill, but that’s my view. In my opinion there are 2 Welsh issues which have damaged the Welsh Labour Party, the first is the 20mph speed limit - we’ve had 500,000 people sign a petition which reflects the strength of feeling against the policy and while there’s been some tinkering around the edges following the backlash, by enlarge things have barely changed. The second issue is the increase in AM’s - I get that we’ve lost MP’s but we didn’t need more AM’s particularly when we’ve got 21 local authorities in Wales! Another factor was Vaughan Gething and the £200k contribution to his leadership campaign!! I am glad Labour have been booted out, they deserved to be sacked. Eluned Morgan inherited a poison chalice, but I have no sympathy for her, she can suck it up and do one! I am not a Labour Party member, Labour supporter and have never voted for them. I’m just trying to be objective. Edit - another issue for those of us living in South Wales or South West Wales I’ll throw in the lack of a relief road around Newport - it’s @@@@in scandalous!

Looks like you might be right in your analysis of the current level of chaos at No 10. Skin like a rhino Starmer could now survive a coup and carry on being being as an unpopular and untrusted leader of the UK , wonder why Cymru chucked him out though . Streeting , Milliband and Angie ready to have a go soon and make that challenge but sadly it seems is now impossible . Starmer found ways to stop Andy Burnham getting involved as a potential rival albeit in not a current sitting MP . Bloke is so egotistical and I am not a failure mode thinking it is beyond explaining. |  | |  |
