Well, it's common sense.

You’ve said England’s figures are really BAD. But what about the Welsh figures?
Maybe things like this have an influence " The figures also exclude - apart from in Wales - those who are re-infected, something that has become increasingly common with the rise of the Omicron variant."
Is it the case that anything positive is down to the Welsh government, while anything negative is down to the English government?
There is a history tbf. Both in terms of the centralised government and in terms of the Tories in general.
It seems to me that some of us want to believe that. But I certainly don’t. I believe both governments are utterly hopeless.
Maybe , but I don't think the ties to the English government have benefited the Senedd in any way. It might seem irrelevant but that whole 500m crown estate malarky is 500m less on paying for more doctors or track-tracing people. Maybe it's simplistic, but it all plays a part.
