NOT "Taking Britain Back" but "Taking Britain Forward"

 

Excellent news, I was sweating on this one. Well done Plaid for stopping the Reform bandwagon. Perhaps they can form a Welsh government for Wales soon. I loved seeing the Tory Vermin (©Nye Bevan) on 2% - made my day.

The best quote I heard today was instead of "Taking Britain Back" (used by reform & sundry fascists) but "Taking Britain Forward" from the Plaid victor. Nice idea. 

I'm not 100% convinced by Plaid, personally, but feel that for the last 30 years Labour hasn't worked for Wales. I know the Tory Bastards have been in Westminster strangling the funds from Wales & giving them to the Blue Belt, (Rishi Sunak passim & Hs4 robbery), but still with the limited funds their focus has been erratic at best, misguided at worst (eg lack of M4 widening ). TBH, I'm really disappointed that with Labour in power in London, there hasn't been more support for Welsh Labour.

However, Plaid are now a positive choice for change, & perhaps they will do a better job. I'll give them a chance next Poll Day. 

I thought there was a positive spin from Labour central, tho:-

"People are disappointed with the pace of change" I think thats fair, as undoing 15 years of asset stripping is a long job. There are some commentators out there (eg good troubles daily &  full facts government tracker) pointing out that they have actually achieved quite a lot.

Of course, there is the possibility that whoever is in Westminster will then carry on ignoring Wales as before. Fecked if you do, fecked if you don't?
