A lift engineer, for obvious reasons.

The passage of time...

1)Why has our economy fallen further behind the rest of the UK making Welsh people poorer now in relative terms than during the Thatcher years?
2)Why are our educational standards the lowest in the UK and still falling limiting life chances for a whole generation of young people?
3)Why is every measure of NHS performance behind England and getting worse.
4)Why has his party condemned whole communities to live on incapacity and other benefits?
Sadly it seems Wales is addicted to the Labour party and the failure that accompanies it and we all trapped in the downward spiral as a results. I was a member of the Labour party for 16 years and not a day goes by that I don’t regret that.
