Drakeford told Davies: 'It is absolutely shocking to me that you will think that you can turn up here this afternoon with the mess that your party has made to the budgets of this country, to the reputation of this country around the world.'

And if there is one rainbow flag on any Welsh hospital site I win my argument
These vile Tories need to go I can understand how people are angry the Tories only listen to what the rich have to say the couldn't care less about families. Our uk is laughing stock of the world thanks to the disppicable Tory party.
If you want some spare ambulances Truro hospital has about 20 spares ones parked up all day doing nothing ✌️
There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man.
Anger runs in the family ...drakeford passed it on to his son ....lovely family
@@martinmanifold2241 ridiculous comment.
Not really the money spent keeping his son in jail could have been used to buy an ambulance I guess it all boils down to priorities Wales it seems does not prioritise the NHS
@@martinmanifold2241 how would that work? The son in question was adopted
@@peterjones7303 the NHS in the whole country is a disgrace at the moment. there's not enough training and funding and a lot of the money the NHS does receive gets wasted.
We need a general election right now
It won't change a thing.
We do, agreed.
It will, we get rid of the trash.
If, as reported, the vast majority of the country wants one and the government wants to refuse purely in their own self interest, all we have to do is say that none of us will go to work until they accede.
@@michaelgillman2505 Deal me in Michael. Its the only way mate.
I love the Welsh accent. Even when angry it still sounds polite.
Mmmm as a Welshman it is the angry Welshwomam you need to fear lol
Oooh yes and add in a splash of Irish too, as in my case and you have a veritable tornado!!! 😂
The Welsh pray on their knees and prey on their neighbours
🤪
Abit like canadians they will Thank you for sleeping with their wife
Drakeford didn't lose his temper. Given the egregious hypocrisy of the Tories, he was remarkably calm.
When you only have deflection as your argument, you don’t have an argument…much like mark drakeford, who must certainly lost his temper because he doesn’t like people questioning him.
He was literally shaking. Lol unstable wimpy little man
@@adamcraig1468 Yep. With anger. I can understand that. Oh boy, I can understand that!
@@andrew3347 "why are there service issues in your NHS caused by underfunding, understaffing and poor working conditions??" "also we are cutting your budget" can't imagine why that would be frustrating

Wait till ambulance's are stuck behind 20mph speed limits on narrow country lanes?
This is the kind of passion our opposition need to show.

I agree. We need proper debates.
Theatre.
@@AethelwulfOfNordHymbraLand2333 Politics,wherever in this world is theatre and lies,no facts.
How fast he flipped that page
its interesting to see how utterly angry he gets when he talks. He is getting angrier and angrier, and almost shakes with anger
Find yourself a decent book regarding narcissism you verbally attack a narcissist the result is always the same
How does the conservative leader for wales get to demand a road map of health care in wales for the next year. when the prime minister Lizz Truss doesn’t even know how the NHS will be funded to what level next week? He should be apologising to the welsh assembly for the utter carnage of the uk economy that will lead to more deaths and more homeless and people starving and freezing. I’m not surprised the welsh minister was so perplexed.
It what the working class deserve. For decades they have been right wing.
He wrote the speech last month.
Why are you bungling national and devolved politics. What’s the point of devolution if your only go is at Westminster as a deflection from local issues.
@@natenae8635 Perhaps if Westminster didn’t chokehold the budgets through their awful fiscal policy, devolved governments might have a chance at sorting out the problem. Conservative approach of strategically underfunding public services to make privatisation seem like the answer is something a lot of people are waking up to, and it’s no wonder it infuriates someone in Drakeford’s position.
@@natenae8635 health budgets aren’t a local issue lol 😂
Well said. It's the Tories who have been cutting funding for years, while refusing to get those with the greatest wealth to pay fairly towards shared public services.
And yet drakeford has money for all his pet projects! He has a budget and decides how it’s spent!
Wales receives 15% more per head than England in NHS funding. Dripford elected to spend 10% of the annual NHS budget, some £1 billion, on "free" prescriptions that he is using to bribe voters. If the prescriptions were means tested as they are in England £100's of millions would be freed up to increase funding on frontline services. Maybe then the quality of NHS the English experience would also be enjoyed i Wales. Dripford is a disgrace.
Please tell us more.
@@andrew3347 Similar to Sturgeon in Scotland, wasting money on failed projects, then bleating they don’t get enough funding. Same old, same old.
And how does that Budget get raised? Do Wales have the same borrowing Powers as England? No! The Senedd was set up to make The Welsh look Enept. Until Media, law and Banking are all devolved. Wales will not be free.
Excellent. How dare a Truss supporter spout ......!
Mr Slow could have put 33million into Wales NHS instead of 20mph road signs.
Thankfully the Tories won't be in power for much longer
Funnily enough they have never in power in the Senedd. They sort of just hang around in the Senedd whining about anything the Labour do.
Yes be carefull what you wish for
Mate it’s till 2025
Don’t bet on it.
I feel like the Tories are intentionally trying to cause even more damage so that the Labour party have too much to fix
Heartfelt emotion, hurt and sincerity from a decent Man
Totally wasted on this pitiable excuse of a Tory.

The guy is emotionally unstable.
That civilized Gentlemen was angry and rightly so!
Wales has Tory Mps? That's like Turkeys voting for Christmas, I'm surprised England still has Tories.
Demographic not that different to England and with a lack of Plaid support it’s basically a two-party country. Independence not on the cards, Captain Picard.
Yet over 40% of Labour Memebers and voters in Wales are in support of Independence. Huh…
The only reason the Tories exist is because of England, more specifically, little Englanders
Independence a matter of time. Once Scotland goes and the English grey vote dies out Wales will follow.
Over here, in the small country that is England, there's about 20 million people that are yet to realise they live in a small country.
What andrew is saying is true wales waiting times are terrible under welsh labour
FM Drakeford does also actually answer Davies' questions btw, it's been cut out here for brevity I suppose. If someone's interested in his answers about what the Welsh govt will do regarding the Ambulance waiting times, he lists several things, the version of this video posted by the JoePolitics channel didn't cut it out
The PoliticsJoe vid also had no answers and no plan.
Drakeford does not answer any questions, 23 years of failure, under Welsh Labour - keep on mind Welsh Labour and UK Labour are two very different animals.
@@TimHall-Smith have you looked at the Barnett Formula and what it means for Wales
@@howareyou857 no, he reads the Daily Express/ Mail headlines.
@@neverindoubtjones4789 And it really shows. The ignorance of the population reading those rags.
That was the first time I've seen a welsh First Minister loose his composure a bit. Tories have no moral leg to stand on.
Even then it barely sounds like he's raising his voice that much. Must just be the Welsh accent though lol
Loose?
@@pn2360 true
Loose?
Neither does the labour minister I have just posted a little experiment that I did it may be a couple of posts back from this one trade out yourself it's not rocket science I wish I had some scientific instruments to do this but I'm sure there's somebody out there has got this sort of equipment and can prove the point personally you don't need scientific instruments the results are conclusive
The lack of Mr Davies' recognition (let alone apology) for the fact that his party just trashed Britain is staggering. Mr Drakeford's response was entirely appropriate and heartfelt. He was representing the people of Wales. History will one day notice that Mr Drakeford has been a great leader and a great Welshman.
Worst leader wales has had. He is never accountable for his failings and his only response is to throw a tantrum like a spoilt child, it’s not the first time either. Any time anyone dares criticise him he blows his lid, it shows what a snivelling weasel and a pathetic man he is! Try actually living in wales and then you’ll change your mind!
Only a Tory and his/her acolytes would have the brass neck to continue behaving so arrogantly and self righteously in the face of complete disaster.
@@anjidoyle9006 and yet it is welsh labour acting so arrogantly as they have done for the 23 years! Wasting money at every opportunity!
Drakeford is a prize fool.
in your dreams, he is a massive prat, even labour voters dont like him.
Liz Truss has still not phoned Mark Drakeford or Nicola Sturgeon ,some 6weeks after taking office ! If that's a United Kingdom ,then it's knackered with a capital F !

Deny and subvert. Typical strategy.
The voice of decency, kindness and moral fortitude in the face of Tory mendacity, duplicity and utter corruption.

+john pearson-phillips You've got a short memory. Drakeford during the covid era?
@@wendynicholss6886 Westminster allocates all funding to England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

All 3 get decidely less money than England, but Englands NHS is in the worst shape of all.
Yet Labour is at fault for the last 12 years of underfunding from Westminster?
The working class support it!
Well said!
Be afraid of the quiet man
It’s shocking that tories are blaming labour for their mess in wales
The NHS in Wales is a devolved issue. The Labour Party have full responsibility for the NHS. They have completely run it into the ground. Drakeford and his party are turning Wales into a third world nation.
because RT Davies is correct Wales is governed by labour

The blatant hypocrisy of the Brexit Tories is sickening.
Well done Mark Drakeford.
NHS wales is devolved to the Sennedd. Labour has been in charge there for 20+ years. NHS Wales has nothing to do with Westminster. Ask Drakeford why he spent £4:25 million pounds of our money on Gilstone farm because he refuses to say
Brexit tories? The Welsh voted for Brexit too. They actually sided with the tories. Now they are reaping what they sowed.
@@donaldv13 The state of the Welsh NHS is everything to do with the incompetence of the Labour Party as it’s a devolved issue.
@@janereacher3069 the welsh government gets it's money from the broader UK government, it's affected by measures such as austerity. wales already spends more of it's budget on healthcare than england

As always, Mr Drakeford deflects the issue and fails to address anything whatsoever
He needs booting out.
What a louse Davies is. I WHOLLY support Drakeford's anger and words. He speaks for me ✊
he was out of order should be sacked
I know Mr Davies he is as Friendly as a Skunk in the Bath
He needs to control himself, job must be getting to him. Time to go.
@@vtechead1 should have gone long ago
Absolutely useless
Actually the NHS in Wales has been a disgrace for years. Well before this present crisis. It's a real sore point for Drakeford which is why he had his little outburst.
These tories cant remember they hold the purse strings.
The bear can only dance to the length of its chain 🤔
Rt Andrew Davis voted for truss too
He needs to look at his party the cons is damaging our country.
The tores line there own pockets 1st
Get the tories OUT!!!!!
Drakeford is a despicable human being!!!!
Just pure Deflection from Drakeford.
If That Tory MP keeps anyonning the old man he might be going home in an Ambulance lol
Sadly we have the Gammonati in Wales as well.
RT looks like he will need an ambulance soon if his head goes a deeper shade of purple
😂
To quote his Majesty - "Oh Dear oh dear".
Bless him 🙏!
The Tories do not take responsibility for allowing the UK to be in the worst situation for many years. If these MPs became self employed, they would be on the dole in weeks, unless of course you were millionaires & really don't give a rats behind about the common man/woman
Which most are irrespective of party.
Finally the Tories are being seen for the S(um they really are!
And yet again welsh labour not being held accountable for their many failings over 23 years!
@@andrew3347 they are held to account every Senedd term.... they always smash the tories

Make rams angry and you get bonked by its horns.

The amount of blood in that tory’s face is worrying. He was blacker than me by the end of this vid, and I’m half Jamaican
Bestrb Too 🤣🤣🤣😂🤣
No, the tory is half farmyard animal.
Love it!!!!
Perhaps he could use the NHS to arrange an appointment to have his blood pressure checked (one would assume it is already quite high). I imagine he will pay for private healthcare though given the want for quick treatment and low wait times.
Did I just suggest that the Conservative leader may use healthcare services that are nothing to do with what he is passionately talking about in the above video? Surely not ; )
Drakeford is usually so calm. He was absolutely furious.
This isn't the first time he's flipped out. In a debate like this it's kinda understandable as things tend to get heated, but I have seen him do it when confronted by the public on the street.

My fear is that there is no one in politics today who can actually deal with the situation we are in …. We are doomed
Give Labour a chance then..
People with that opinion are the problem with our country. Makes me want to hit my head against a wall. It is for this reason I have begun to agree with Socrates that not everyone should be allowed to vote. Let's start with daily mail and Sun readers. Might of saved us from Brexit and the tories.
It's a genuine fear. Smart people are not in politics. This situation we are in will only be solved by the smartest minds. I really fear for our country.
Despair is the greatest weapon of those in power. Never despair when things go wrong my friend, instead demand accountability and change
@@liam77877 they already had the chance. Things really didn't get better.
What a farce
Drakeford accuses the tories of cutting the budget to Wales and causing the problems in the health service, but earlier this year handed back £130 odd million of unspent budget. Why on earth didn't he use it ?
yeah, Drakeford, Wales is listening Why'd you do that?
welsh has a wonderful accent, like singing.
Brilliant Video
I seem to recall Ann Clwyd unimpressed with the state of the hospitals in Wales several years ago.
Unbelievable
Go on Mark
Same bs in Scotland, *WESTMINSTER HOLDS THE MONEY* & DOES THE CUTS
No they do not cause the cuts in the devolved government, research the Barnett formulae and educate yourself.
Wales receives 15% more per head than England in NHS funding. Dripford elected to spend 10% of the annual NHS budget, some £1 billion, on "free" prescriptions that he is using to bribe voters. If the prescriptions were means tested as they are in England £100's of millions would be freed up to increase funding on frontline services. Maybe then the quality of NHS the English experience would also be enjoyed i Wales. Dripford is a disgrace.
Eem you take more money from England than you give. England wants you to be independent. Pay for yourselves
The responsibility lies where the responsibility lies?
Who’s in charge?
A desperrate man losing it. Wales deserves better.
From the heart beautiful
Drakeford has no heart, just a black shrivelled up brick
It is at 3:48 when the Drakeford puts the tories in their place lol
Brilliant
Deflection deflection deflection that’s unaccountable Drakeford
Such a shame, It's shame
Talk Talk
Typical Dickford denying any responsibility for his party's incompetence and blaming anyone else but himself, Welsh Labour have run the Health Service for 23 years, its their responsibility to allocate funds to the verious departments withing Wales, not Westminster. He is ultimately responsible for the actions of HIS government. He is responsible for the Health Service fiasco within Wales, not Westminster. If Dickford cant take the criticism and cant take responsibility then he should step down and trigger an election so the whole of Wales can decide who is more competent.
Drippy Drakeford
If hadn't spent 30 million on reducing the speed limits he would have money for his health service.

How much lower can they go!
Defund Welsh Labour and scrap the Welsh Assembly ASAP.. 😎
There is only one way to settle this - FIGHT!😂
for those lacking context: Wales has a devolved goverment which has seen Labour in control for a long time. The Tory is accusing labour of cutting NHS Wales funding and running it poorly. However, the amount of funding the Welsh devolved government gets is determined by the government in Westminster, controlled by the Tory party, who have cut Wales budget and ran with all these insane financial policies in recent weeks. He's calling out the hypocrisy that the man criticising him is representing a political party that forced NHS cuts and near bankrupted the entire UK, and is now accusing him of cutting budgets/running the NHS into the ground
Thank you, it’s much clearer now
But why then did the Tory guy say that the labour guy voted for the reduced budget for nhs wales
@@user-ie3qx6iy3g because the total funding they got from the UK government was reduced - most things got cuts. He's slamming the first minister for being forced to vote for something by the tories' cuts
As much as I hate to say it as I'm anti-tory to the hilt, but Labour did cut the health budget back when spending cuts were first introduced by the tory government. Instead of ring fencing the NHS like England did, Wales decided to go for protecting council budgets thus preventing any council tax rise. A big mistake in my opinion.and there's no denying that the party leader for the tories has a valid point when he accuses Mark Drakeford of voting for cuts to the Health Service.
there are social/health responsibilities that "councils" have to provide, by law...
Ring fencing the NHS is a better bet than councils, because like in England, the health responsibilities of councils gets absorbed into the NHS out of necessity, and though care variation occurs, the NHS health platform is more powerful than the councils. I'm kind of fed up with Labour deflecting rather than being honest about the decisions made. And care quality has nothing to do with money - there was a health worker somewhere in 15hrs - that crosses two shifts! The culture in Wales must have become appalling under the cuts, and it was up to him as Health Minister to influence where he can.
Just one example of why the established parties need to be ditched.
5 hours for an ambulance ? Oh my
Yep. The Tories have slashed the budget to the Senedd meaning that it, like English government cannot fund the NHS properly anymorr
How dare the Welsh Tories bring up the name of the great Aneurin Bevan. HE would be turning in his grave at way the Tories have treated the NHS as a whole in the UK. Well done Mark Drakeford
The way it's going I wouldn't be surprised to see Tories charging people to see their GP or to stay overnight in hospital. They'll want people not to bother phoning for an ambulance.
Tories want the national health service to become privatised like in America. If they keep underfunding it and therefore making it harder for the services to run and catch up with long waits then they are making the case to their voters to make it private. What the voters don't realise is If we made some pinches towards council funding and thrown way more money to the NHS so they can give higher, more deserving earnings to their staff (encouraging more people to join the industry), buy more specialised equipment and testing then some of these problems wouldn't be in existence next year. If we want free health care, it must be funded properly.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Drakeford...... what a horrible little man he is.

This is the truest thing I have read in this comment section.

Wow, if this was in my country we would have seen a boxing 🥊 match followup.
The torys must go
Drakeford is 100% right. Tories proposing "solutions" for problems that stem directly from their own policies.
So refreshing to see Ministers on both sides really passionately saying what they want and need for their people. Unlike their counterparts in Westminster. They are mostly on their phones, ignoring what is going on!
