WELSH Labour’s conference this weekend is an opportunity for the party to review its progress in achieving the goals of the ambitious Programme for Government and to look ahead to the priorities for the left in power.
Mark Drakeford’s leadership continues to demonstrate the positive vision the left can project, can inspire voters with, and deliver from office.
In contrast, the Conservative government in Westminster continues to oversee a cost-of-living crisis, miserable pay offers and underfunded, declining public services, inaction on the climate and a desperate attempt to distract from its failings by whipping up hostility to refugees.
