    Took them long enough, they'll be better without Drakeford.

    I always said they would panic before the election as it would lose them votes, many disagreed, but it was so obvious.

    I wouldn't call it panic, neither do I think it would have cost them votes. Not that many switch from Labour to Plaid. The Tories aren't electable in Wales. Lib Dem is a wasted vote so, unless you've got a strong independant in your area, not much would change. However, I think some voters would look at this as a party making the right call after getting something wrong. Opponents will call it a u-turn, but I don't have a problem with u-turns if the end result is right.

    Agree on the last bit, they need a lot of u-turns after Drakeford, look at every policy, and change 99%.

    It would have cost them votes, that's the reason to review, win more votes back.

    Tories in Westminster are the same, go big on immigration or lose even more votes, although way to late.
