Mark Drakeford to resign?

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

Not before time I think he and his team have been poor on several big issues and the 20 mph thing is a disaster

I think Rebecca Evans the finance minister would be a good shout

Eluned Morgan is hopeless which is a shame as her background and family roots suggested she would be good

Anything but the Tories and Plaid need to be kept as a junior partner in a coalition as they are nationalist nutters

[xsnaggle]

He was interviewed only a few days ago and said he intended to resign at then end of 2024. He said the only thing that might make him go earlier was an early general election, to give the next man time to settle in.

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

What a CV, to be a janitor!

Working with the disadvantaged

Or getting a job because your dad is rich like a lot of conservatives ?

I think he's outstayed his welcome but his background shows he cares which is what we want isn't it ?

I'm a member of Plaid Cymru and I agree. Both the theory and implementation of 20mph are seriously flawed. The duration of my bus journey into town has increased by 50%. I've got a car but i only use it for long distance journeys. My mate is a Cardiff Bus driver and he says that his managers are very opposed to 20mph.

This is an open goal for Plaid - Rhun did express doubts about 20mph around the time it was implemented. We could win the next election if we support/suggest an unbiased review.

Other Plaid members may disagree with my position but I think it's a no-brainer to seize this issue and run with it.

As for Drakeford, thankfully he has gone, and his successor will gladly pin all of the negative policies on Drakeford and hope for a clean slate. However, Gething and Baroness Schumacher are both damaged goods in the public eye, Waters is despised and Jeremy Miles is insipid. Labour may - hopefully - be finished for a while in the Senedd, especially if Starmer wins the GE. Even he's messing that up though with his praise of Thatcher.

God help us.

I'll join, Plaid it is, Wales needs a new direction, just tone down the Welsh Language stuff, at least until after the election

Probably something will come out, the same happened in Scotland.

[bobh]

Maybe we'll see the 20mph laws reversed, then get rid of all the cycle lanes, allowing traffic to move freely...
Perhaps not.

He's taken Wales back to the 18th century.

Christmas has come early...

Let's all have a disco

I’m telling you, this is to hide something else

For all you c###s dancing on his grave...f##k off.

No one is dancing on his grave - as he has not died. I do remember when Thatcher died and certain posters on here said they would happily dance on her grave, which displays a rather warped mindset.
Baroness Glennys Kinnock died last week, and I think it showed a measure of a non warped mindset that did not mention graves or dancing on them from any poster on here.

[Rjk]

He was rubbish before and the same after?

Yes it's sad, but don't blame that on his party trying to save a future election outcome?

Um - have you seen any opinion polls in the last year?

[North Cardiff Blue]

I'm hearing that too, had loads of texts, interesting let's wait and see.

Drakeford lives on millionaires row aka Cathedral road...just saying

Comparing Thatcher and the effect she had on our society to Glennys Kinnock

It's like a YTS politician's CV, how the hell did he get to where he did?

LOL the old "Ive had loads of texts cos im important" post.

Pathetic isn’t it.

I tihnk most people would like to see more politicians coming in with diverse backgrounds. It isn't healthy that so many study PPE at Oxford

Working with vulnerable kids , ex prisoners ?

That to me shows a level of compassion and the value of society

I think that's good

Now he's been poor since lockdown I would agree but his background is laudable

The leader of the conservatives in Wales is a farmer

As are several of his team

What does that bring to the table ?

What understanding do they have of the matters that concern many people ?

OK love , you get off to bed I am bringing the cows in the shed

I agree to a certain extent, but you need some qualities, and a level of competence, not just a social worker he comes across as dull as dishwater making top-level decisions that are clearly above their level of understanding and competence.

Not just a social worker ?

Highly trained people dealing with incredibly intense and stressful situations involving multi agency liason .....police , courts , health services , education

Or a fecking farmer ?

He was probably rubbish at that too, if you're poor at a job you get promoted or managed out, parking attendant-type job looks about right from what I've seen, just issue the ticket and no flexibility or competence needed.

Farmers aren't qualified either, it's not the job you've done previously it's the level of competence to do the job you get, although his CV looks unsuitable for high office.

[Armitage Shanks]

Let's hope that Lee Waters doesn't have the post he's worse than Drakeford

[goats]

Strong rumours amongst fellow Labourites. Will please many on here. Not me though, if true.

Come on please be true…..

[pipster]

Pathetic isn’t it.

Not really - stating you would jump on the grave of someone - not exactly a good mindset.

ps How many pits did Thatcher close down ?
