is it getting worse or has poverty always been there, we are just better at recording it / redefining what it means?
definitely. Brexit has not helped one bit and anyone who thought it was a good idea should really have a word with themselves.
are you equally as critical of Welsh Labours failure to keep the Welsh economic performance on a par with even the worst performing parts of England? We have more tools in our arsenal than any English region and we have better funding, yet we fall further behind on just about every socio-economic measure. You cannot have a strong society without a strong economy. In that respect would you agree that Welsh Labour have failed the Welsh population in a much greater way that the Conservatives have the the UK as a whole?
