Drakeford & Devolution of Tax and Welfare

[Pentyrchjack]

Our wonderful FM opposes wholesale devolution of tax and benefits. He either wants devolution or not. Sounds like he’s bottling it because tax and welfare are some of the most contentious and divisive policy issues (and vote losers).

Keep the union.

I’m ambivalent about “the union” but it’s not as simple as “he either wants devolution or he doesn’t”. People seem to forget that Labour is a unionist party, it supports the U.K. and doesn’t support independence for any of its constituent countries.

He's probably seen how difficult these issues have been to manage in Scotland and chickened out.
