The all encompassing anger he obviously feels towards the Tories and what they’ve done to our country, was something I feel so strongly too.

I found it so refreshing that someone in UK politics, who regardless of whether you agree with his politics or not is undeniably principled, has finally spoken out in this way

I expect @Helpmewithteen longs for the good old days when sexism, racism and homophobia were widespread in schools.

This 100%, he's orchestrated a lot of the damage that's been done

Agree, he was even worse than Sturgeon and that’s saying something.

Instead, wokeism has compounded left wing ideology, delivered by teachers.

A new dumbed down, woke curriculum and ginormous class sizes?

All I can say is that I am so relieved that my child finishes school this within the next few years.

My two left years ago,thank god.

Otherwise I'd probably be bra shopping with my autistic son.

What about those Green supporters who don't want an independent Wales?
Im not sure about coalitions - if the Green supporters wanted to belong to Plaid, they'd have joined that party in the first place and vice versa.

My apologies to any this might offend, but the clip shown looked like political grandstanding to me.

Context would help.

I don't live in Wales but I love Mark Drakeford, some of the onterviews he has done and the way he describes the tories is spot on

PM your address and I'll post him to you then. See how you get on.

Anyone criticising the NHS in Wales should do dinner Googling on NHS Wales Vs NHS England. It's really not as straight forward as the NHS in Wales is worse than England and it's all Labours fault.

Worth checking out the situation with social care as well, as it impacts on the NHS. England had far more severe cuts a decade ago than Wales did. And of course demographics, with Wales having an older, sicker population.
