Has Liz Truss killed the Conservatives? | Three months on the road with the Tory party: th-cam.com/video/pSN9WrR6S9M/w-d-xo.html
No as useless as she is that was Boris Johnson he has spent the last few years destroying his party and the country and now he wants another go
Yes what a state this country is in. There's no Great in Great Britain anymore. Sack the corrupt government and get rid of this idiot Drakeford. Let's look after our workers, pensioners and young children.
This is corrupt on so many levels
Child Abusing T*at.
A Tory complaining about the state of the NHS, after they've just made Jeremy Hunt Chancellor?
The NHS in Wales is controlled by the Welsh labour government not the Tory’s.
It would be laughable but. NOT funny
Never trust a tory!
Get used to the gaslight, because there won't be electricity to illuminate the country soon. Fucking Tories.
NHS devolved to Labour in Wales I believe
You SAY Chancellor, but you MEAN Prime Minister.
Remember this. When the Tories are inevitably voted out, they'll be criticising the elected government for the state THEY left the NHS in. Mark my words.
They are still trying to blame Labour after being 12 years in government! The right always play the victim and blame someone else.
As night follows day.
Hopefully there won't be any.

Then we have to scream at them like he did.
Never seen Mark Drakeford get so animated and angry.
@@mel4856 where does the funding for the Welsh government come from? Oh that's right from Westminster where a Tory Chancellor is in charge and has been recklessly cutting budgets after his predecessor's wanton mismanagement and stupidity. Drakeford is doing his best with the pittance he gets from the Tory government in London.

Mark Drakeford is like Yoda: when his back's up, he goes from 1 to 11 without warning.
Fucking hell. You could tell that wasn't performative anger. I must say I'm generally impressed if this is how Welsh government functions. God its nice without all the jeering
When he flicked the page I thought "Wait is this scripted?" but I was reassured by the fact that he didn't look down.
No it’s not impressive-they are all clowns like the Westminster clowns.
@@richardjones3112 the Senedd functions rather well, compared to Westminster
@@bannaubrycheiniog1329 it functions well compared to Westminster because the Tories aren’t directly in charge of the Senedd
@@richardjones3112 you are speaking of the tories, of course.
when a tory berates somebody for the state of the health service.
Same in the US. Republicans cut taxes to benefit the wealthy when they control the government then complain about deficits and higher taxes when they aren’t.
Hospitals in England have props holding up the roof on wards.
@@dean8282 The English NHS is light years ahead of the Welsh Labour run NHS.
@@agt155 Run by Labour, budgeted by Tories. It's a classic Tory trick; reduce funding to a Labour council, that Labour council cannot afford to fix everything, Tories attack Labour council for the things they couldn't afford to fix.
@@MrMyers758 Wales receives 20% more funding per patient than England and yet our health service is far worse - stop blaming funding.

Always good to see a Tory Barsteward being ripped a new one.
The NHS does miracles everyday. Yes he's right, it is a miracle it's still standing
Disappearing before our eyes.
The floor staff do miracles with the crap they have to work with.
I think it will be sold soon. This is a way for government to claw back money. It's pretty much all there is left to sell off.
Which 'he' do you mean, James?
@@andrewrobinson2565 I must admit that I posted half way through, and thought the older guy was a tory. I think though after watching the whole thing that they are both deluded. The NHS needs more funding but the angry bald bloke is a Tory, so yeah he has no leg to stand on really, given all the cuts are by the tories
I know an 80-year old who waited on the floor with a broken pelvis waiting for an ambulance.. in England. This is not a Welsh problem, it is a UK problem where the Torys are in charge. The gall of anyone coming to any devolved power who has supported Liz Truss' appointment as Prime minister is just incredible.
We are not here to discuss England we are here to discuss WALES
that's because you suck up all our money as you're too poor to stand on your own two feet.
It is a UK problem, yet the Welsh government are quick to take credit when there was a UK vaccine rollout. They have to accept their part when things go wrong too.
@@solariss452 The DUP got a billion, not NI.
Welsh NHS is devolved to the the Senned and the labour first minister .. its quite right an elected welsh conservative in the welsh parliament can grill the first minister about the state of wales NHS on his watch and his responsibility and when wales gets more to spend per head than england does .....or did an english bogey man do it an run away ....
Love Mark drayford so patient dealing with that hot headed tory buffoon. So moving when he finally explodes in rage and indignation. I cried. Great to see a man with true Courage, belief and understanding. The great Nye Bevan was smiling down on him from heaven. Mark is someone who knows how to fight to defend Nyes legacy of free health care from the tory spivs. I was born in England but today I am Welsh.

@@rogerlephoque3661 Yes, that's him.
It's actually quite nice to see Drakeford shaking with rage at the end. Anyone in that position who cared should be.
Drakeford is useless in wales. He and the senedd are just as bad as Westminster. All lining their pockets...look at the state of wales. What has Drakeford done?
The audacity the Tories have to act like they didn't create the mess we are in makes my blood boil.
Then lets obliterate them for rest of time at the next GE ...
FUCK the tories!
Back in the 1980’s the Tories set bout destroying the NHS. I know I was a nurse who, every day had to count the number of bandages and all other vital medical equipment to make sure we only had what the Tories said we actually needed. Meanwhile patients weren’t getting the nursing care they were supposed to because saving money was the most important thing on a daily basis. I left in 1988 and it’s only got worse since then!
The NHS in Wales is a devolved issue. The Labour Party is fully responsible for its running and has been for over 2 decades. It is Labour that has run it into the ground, no one else.
Have you to agree. Drakeford is just deflecting the fact that, like transport and education he is responsible for the mess in Welsh healthcare. He is the on who should be ashamed
Proud to be welsh 🏴
Always .🏴✌🏼
But dripford is an embarrassment his son is in jail for a violent sex crime against a woman who trusts a man as head of state when he can't raise a son who knows right from wrong......
Pathetic excuse for a human being IMO.......
@@terptv710 you don't know the half of it butty completely irrelevant
Love the Welsh. Dreadful leader though absolutely abhorrent how he treated everyone through covid.
@@Bighandsdown yep, hes an absolute tosser
Bechod lol. There is a public funded bus service for both North and South Wales that picks these rich losers up and takes them to and from the Welsh Assembly offices.
It's an unmarked service but it's open to the public. I encourage all Welsh people to jump aboard so they can see just how pathetic and English their own puppet government is 💀
The cheek of the Tory using Aneurin Bevan's name in his scurrilous attack!
A Welsh tory gammon 😆
🤡
He looked like a boiled gammon after ranting and raving
Welsh Tory and labour gammons...all useless
You'll notice all the tory person did was shout over the first minister because he didn't want to hear the answer, he didn't want his side of the bench to hear it and he doesn't want to public to hear it either.
Performance, he couldn’t give a damn as long as it leads to the sale of the NHS at some juncture.
The only cornerstone of the UK left worth fighting for. Tories are enemies to it.
Didn’t think Drakeford had it in him, fair play.
Didn't think he had it in him? His sons a rapist ffs. Power mad rage likely goes with the territory
The Welsh Tory Leader should witness what’s happening in the rest of the UK because of his Tory Government!
This is very similar to the crap Nicola Sturgeon gets from the witless Scottish Tory 'leader'(!!!) Douglas Ross in Holyrood. I'm all for constructive opposition, but Tories spouting in this context is beyond embarrassing. I'm proud of the First Ministers of Scotland and Wales.
Doesn't care.

Everybody remember Boris Johnson snatching a journalist's phone when he was trying to show him a picture of a boy on the floor in A&E?
And Laura K trying to invalidate a parent's complaint about how his child's treatment in hospital as "he is a Labour activist".
Yes!!!! It still confounds me that he managed to win the election after that appalling stunt.
Yes i remember that picture, and also i remember the way it was done deliberately by the Labour party, a set up, but no one wants to hear the truth and it wasn't shown much on the media at the time, the child was told to get of his bed and pretend he had been lying on the floor for hour's, when the camera was turned of a member of the public filmed him getting back onto his bed. But people are so gullible and only want to see what they want to, but as the member of the public said at the time, anything to get a story and make the government look bad, as for the Welsh assembly they are responsible for the NHS and public services which Westminster budget's them for, there budget was raised this year as was Scotland and Northern Ireland's, you could see Drakeford getting rattled when questioned about it, just like Sturgeon in Scotland they get upset when someone challenge's them.
Don't mention Mid Staffs Hospital to Labour.
@@dragonfly6908 don't mention Tories to any NHS staff.

Tories are deluded.
So there's absolutely no problem with the Welsh run NHS
Which "dude" do you mean, dude? Bill & Ted 🤣
@@richadam4010 yeah the problem is wales doesn’t have enough money or staff to run it because of the Tories in Westminster taking all of the countries cash for themselves and their banker mates.
@@user-ku1jd5gi4o It's not that simple. London basically has a devolved admin. Quicker ambulance time and Scotland for that matter. Like it or not some of it will be choices that Welsh labour have made its the easy option to blame Westminster.

At last ..Drakeford has grown some big brass balls !! More of this please first minister
He has one big ball the trouble is his ears are stuck on it
Imagine being a tory in Wales. Not welcome.
What was that slogan "come home to a real Welsh fire" 🔥
Imagine voting with the tories for Brexit in Wales.
Imagine being the family of J.Small...representative of Pfizer in the ongoing inquiry.
An ENGLISH woman born and raised in the UK with UK values...
SHILLING FOR PFIZER.
@@donaldv13 Many people did, as they were promised solutions to all the problems that they had. None of those solutions came, obviously, and most Brexit-voting Welsh people (A significantly large portion of them were farmers in the South, and I will say that it is by no means their fault. Like many Brexit voters, they believed a stack of lies. They were deceived.) turned against it when the EU's money stopped coming.
Worse for them here in Scotland 🏴 look the balloon who leads them ,what a prick!
I love how Tories in develved parliaments complain about funding issues when they are solely caused by the Tory government and their constant austerity programs. The Tory leaders when talking in administration or in the media should be saying nothing other than "Sorry" followed by "I resign"
It is called *"gaslighting"* and MPs who behave in this way should be SACKED immediately.
Labour and the Tories (and the Lib Dems too) constantly play this game - and very often with issues they know are jot even devolved responsibilities. They make a big production of it, and the mainstream media uncritically pick it up. And so it filters down misinformation to the population. Hence with covid, a million clueless people blaming the devolved governments for pandemic planning - which was specifically a UK responsibility that Downing St devolved instead to private corporations. As soon as the devolved governments did get some control, things changed within weeks.
@@solariss452 Austerity was of course inflicted on the sick and unemployed in NI just the same as elsewhere. But yes, there is an enduring mystery as to where the DUP disappeared that billion to. Nobody has every explained it.
"Solely caused?" That's really odd, see I remember Labour fattening the pig the last time they were in power with useless positions and process (middle management and admin) before the tories came in and cut the front lines leaving an expensive over staffed organisation with to few people on the front lines
A Tory councillor here in Vale of Glamorgan knocked on our door before the last local election. After a little discussion, I raised that Tories we’re going back on their funding promises, and can’t stand forever hearing “levelling up” claims when the opposite is true. I expected some sort of defence - but no - a resigned shrug with nothing to say. You’ve just got to confront these con artists. Sadly it’s taken til they’ve wreaked yet more misery for enough people to at last notice it. Btw - there’s not a jot of interest from Tory UK govt to democratically elected devolved parliaments.
Now, I’m not normally a fan of Drakeford, but not many people would go out and say this on TV to the UK government. Fair play Drakeford.
Brilliant emotive flourish at the end by Mark Drakeford - what a fantastic speaker he is
Never EVER trust any tory!
If the Tories don't like being called "detestable" then they should just stop doing "detestable" things to the rest of us... Roll on Independence!
Don't forget Truss was crowing about ignoring the Scottish FM. And the audience clapped. Well they ain't ignoring her now. Well said Mr Drakeford. Wales go for independence please. Save yourselves.
Not only that but Andrew Davies is himself detestable. I wish the people of Wales understood their system of government better and prevented the Welsh Conservatives being the opposition. They are not deserving of that title. They should be languishing in total obscurity.
Please don't go independent. England is packed full of people who love and respect their Welsh compatriots and are also being held hostage by the current bunch of Tory gangsters.
And independence for North Wales from south wales.
@@tonyjones9442 No, we are all one country and that north south divide here is boomer BS that was used by the English establishment to create division here. Dude, we don't even make up a million people here in North Wales. I have zero problem with our hwntw brothers and sisters.
I know that truth in politics apparently doesn’t matter anymore, but for a TORY to disgrace the name of Aneurin Bevan is absolutely abhorrent.
Mark Drakeford ditching his usual calm and considered personality to give the tories an authentic outburst of justified anger shows how much he really cares for the people of Wales. It’s so beautiful watching the sleeping dragon awaken in him to take down RT Davies’ hypocrisy.
from a cumbrian lad a true red dragon welshman.
mark drakeford should be our next prime minister.
David Lloyd Gorge look him
I am sorry but you really do not have a clue. I have dealt with the man, he is a very nasty dictators that shits on the Welsh people from a great Height. A record petition over 450,000 people have signed a petition, he has openly stated he will ignore it. He has openly lied and misled the assembly and breached the ministers code. He knows he can do whatever he wants as the Labour party and Plaid work together and stop all opposition. It is a dictatorship. Sad you just can not see it.
That's some gall throwing around Bevan's name like that.

Tories do the same in Wales as they do in Scotland! Tories are in charge of devolved parliament's budgets! Well said Mr Drakeford,your staff are amazing and don't let these Tory bastuards tell you any different!
They do it in England too.
They give tory boroughs more money than Labour. Even in the tory boroughs the more affluent postcodes get all the money. Then they move immigrants into the poorer areas & blame the lack of funding on the immigrants.
The Welsh government have the power to raise taxes and fund the NHS - they chose not to.

This brought tears to my eyes. The passion mark shows is amazing. I wish that was the passion that was required to be a politician. The fcking state of these idiots to throw blame anywhere else than right at them would make anyone who cared for their nation angry.
You absolute sap! The man is a disgrace and a Vile human being. He can't raise a son who doesn't sexually assault a woman who then went to jail for rape. ✌🏼🏴
@@terptv710 You don't even believe what you are saying.

Drakeford bullcrap. He is the same as the rest of these corrupt useless dictators. Broke his own rules during Con-vid too, while others were stupid enough to be rounded up..🤪🐑🐏
I completely agree with this. It's hard to fathom just how angry we should be, at ten years of mismanagement, mendacity, arrogance, division as a deliberate policy.
Problems in NHS all stem from lack of funding from Westminster - it’s time for wales to vote for self determination #indyWales well said PrifWenidog ❤️🏴
The problems the NHS service in Wales is having is identical to that is happening in England. My mother in-laws father had a fall and she couldnt get him up and was left for nearly 24 hours before an ambulance arrived. The Welsh tory minister really has nothing to go on compared to England which is being run into the ground by the tories.
Apoplectic is right the right word, and the right way the First Minister should have felt. Still, no matter. The Welsh Assembly will barely have a Tory presence at all after the next GE.
Amen.
It will certainly be an uphill struggle whoever is in charge, but once the tories are reduced to 4 seats it'll feel like at least some justice has been done after these hellish 12 years of incompetence and jingoistic nonsense
I really hope so...and that this is also the case here in Scotland. As much of the UK as possible should be rid of this Tory menace.
Hopefully the House of Commons will barely have a Tory presence for the foreseeable future.
Lucky Wales....
Everyone, watch this till the end! It's so satisfying seeing him tear into them
Drakeford is the one who has constantly let the Welsh people and our country fall to pieces in his too long tenure at the helm. He is the one who broke his own rules during Con-vid while others suffererd trying to adhere to his corrupt rules.
Now he uses the current mess of the tories to sling muck at them as an excuse to cover up his own failings, his own mess! I say that not as a tory myself. None of the main parties are any use whatsoever!
Time to use your votes wisely, vote outside the same old useless, boring main party boxes. TIME FOR CHANGE!!
Agreed!!
Great to see real passion in politcs. Shows he really cares.
The absolute brass neck of Tories is staggering.
It's not just Wales -It's the same in England, I can't even get to see a doctor!
It’s not the same in England.. ENG has to pay for prescriptions and thar extra cash goes nowhere to help 🤡
@@siobhanconnor1101 England also doesn't have anything other than sh*tty Westminster politicians behaving worse than children on the daily.

Wait till welsh budget set by the Tory's London is cut again
I,m not welsh but very well said Mr drakeford
Please do more coverages of Wales, also throw in Scotland and Northern Ireland too. Tons of news about England, not so much about the other parts of the UK (United Kingdom). I am writing as a east coast Canadian in Newfoundland and Labrador, who loves to follow developments in the UK
I love this parliamentary set-up,much more civilised than that Victorian clowns' circus in Westminster!
Electing a Tory to government is like hiring an arsonist to run the fire dept.
They're weakening the pound sterling so their mates can gather up more commodities.
It's a labour government in Wales. Health is a devolved matter.
And putting Therese Coffey in charge of anything health-related is beyond satire.
@@tonyjones9442 UK gov still allocates the budget, if Welsh gov needs to make budget cuts it tends to be because the National gov cut their budget.

It does sound like you've never been to wales or at least wales above the valleys
We get exactly the same kind of brass necked effrontery from the tories in Scotland as well. This clown and Douglas Ross are cut from the same shabby tory cloth.
tories in scotland and wales are pretty useless, especially scotland. they exist as purely opposition to SNP, nothing else. they contribute nothing
Andre RT Davies should keep Aneurin Bevan's name out of his mouth.
RT Davies. Words cannot express what type of man he is.
The Tories control the budget to devolved parliaments. And it's been getting cut for over a decade, and guess what, more austerity from Hunt's government, means more budget cuts to Wales and Scotland. Time Scotland and Wales took full control for their own countries. Let England enjoy it's Tory voted austerity cuts. They keep voting for it, after all. My sympathies to the left in England. Even with Starmer's tory-lite Labour, you're shit out of luck.
And NI. It's England who votes Tory, consistently. Let them be the only ones who have to suffer under them.
You forgetting that the Welsh sided with the tories on brexit. The Welsh have made their bed by wanting English money instead of European now they can lie in it.
Imagine if there was a competent labour leader to take advantage of Tory chaos
And the Welsh Labour government have been squandering that budget for decades and running the welsh nhs into the ground. God help us if Drakeford and the rest of his nationalist cronies get anymore power.
I’m English and couldn’t feel worse for the fellow countries of the UK having to put up with us. I really don’t understand why there isn’t more of a push for the breakup of the UK and independence for all countries, England is a joke
I feel for him to be challenged in this way but honestly his fire and passion is absolutely incredible. One of the first people in a long time to stand up to the bullshit and not hold back. We're being lied to on the daily and we're letting this catastrophe happen, lets speak openly and point the finger where it should be. We're in a situation where they're just burying us in lies, so many you can't get out from underneath them, it's clear who is at fault.
Drakeford is the ultimate liar and betrayer of us Welsh. Instead of looking at what he's done (very little), look at Labour's promises that he has rejected. The Senedd has had the Welsh NHS budget for 23 years, our Welsh NHS is in a worse position now than in the last century. The front line staff are as committed as ever, there are too many "mangers, bean counters & diversity officers" that drag the direction of the real NHS money away from where it is required.

He is just the same as the Tories. Wales is in a terrible state
I didn't know he had it in him, good to see a bit of passion. Laughable to hear the Tories try to claim any moral high ground.

It is actually revolting to hear Tories speak. It boggles the mind how they can be so shameless to even mention the NHS at this point.
Totally agree.
When we had a PM in Westminster saying let the bodies pile high and it’s carrying on by a failed government of Austerity by a Tory called Hunt
Let’s all clap to guilt them into risking their lives and treat COVID.
Pay rise?
Oh no, you saved the country, but you must be crazy to think you are worth a few grand more…
There's still a postcode lottery when it comes to the NHS in Wales but it has vastly improved since 1997 when there was a referendum on devolution. Patients were treated like ignorant children and prescribed medicines without leaflets in them warning of contraindications and side effects. You got them with over the counter medicines but only more recently with prescribed medicine.
Agreed
Good for him, he really worked up a good head of steam
Didn't think Drippy had it in him.

This is historic!
I wonder when Wales wakes up and leaves the UK. Northern Ireland is nearly there. so is Scotland. Lets see how jolly England does on its own, they have been looking down and milking the UK over and over.
I don’t know anything about Welsh politics, or the First Minister of Wales; but judging by the video alone I really like him.
He is a good first minister to be fair
Did you like covid fear mongering bullshit and lockdowns for no reason? This insane old coot was all for both.

Wow! Getting to see inside the Welsh parliament! finally!
It's often open to the public - the gallery exists specifically for public viewing of proceedings and they often hold public arts and similar events in the building.
Drakeford's crescendo of anger reminded me of Ravel's Bolero, or Jefferson Airplane's White Rabbit.

Same mess? In Wales there are 70k waiting longer than 2 years for treatment in the whole of England there are 1k. Only difference between the two is 23 years of Labour control in Wales.
The difference is Tory budgets, they determine what resources Wales have access too, plus Tories have stemmed free movement and immigration so the work pool is lower hence less staff to drive abundances or provide care.
Tories in Westminster, take our water take our taxes give us pittance in return then scream “YoUr NHS iS WoRSe” like a dribbling idiot. Tossers, the whole rotten lot.
Andrew RT Davies is one of the most unpopular politicians in the country. Barely anyone takes him seriously as he spends much more time shouting on Twitter than actually acting like a leader of the opposition. Maybe he should use some of that internet time looking at how it's Westminster that decides what our healthcare budget is and not Caerdydd?
And well done to Elin Jones (From my constituency, although she's not usually the one I vote for) for keeping the peace better than Sir Lindsey Hoyle does over in San Steffan.

The only way out of this mess is together, so it would be nice to see what the circumstances of people from those areas really is.
It's a pity.... But Scotland will leave the union because of the majority of the English voter who keep voting tory
No pity. No UK. It's an outdated left over of the Empire.
@@peterah7957 True facts. It also doesn’t help that the SNP totally splits/absorbs the progressive vote which reduces Labour’s chances even further.
@@methanedirigible Yes well I guess Labour hasn't been a strong enough voice there and their stance on the EU now is ludicrous but I guess they believe tactically they have to shut up about it because of the red wall.
Unfortunately you won't see anything from Northern Ireland, as the DUB refuse to attend the assembly.
Time for the blue lot to go
How anyone can keep their cool while dealing with the tories is beyond me. String the lot of them up Toryscum 😡
How brilliant to see passion back in politics, rather than being affronted he was genuinely upset that that was said!
Love the Welsh accent!
That a Carmarthen accent 🏴😊
I worked with welsh colleagues for many years and they were a joy to work with and great story tellers into the bargain. A lot of welsh steel workers and heavy industry personnel transferred to Ireland in the mid 1990's as Irelands tech industries began to ramp up and South Wales smoke stack industries and mining began to wane. Very colourful, diligent and engaging people.
It's a very specific area of Carmarthenshire people speak like that. My geography teacher had the same accent
@@stephrichards4611 welsh is the first language in Carmarthenshire 🏴
@@justinquinn8921 I know. I've worked there and speak Welsh as a 1st language 🙃
The NHS struggles on due to the dedication of its workforce. The reason it is struggling is due to the Tory government cuts and trying to privatise it. Shame on him for deflecting, and not even saying that the response the father on the floor got was not acceptable!
There's also a doctor shortage which got worse after Brexit which nobody mentions. Carmarthen and Llanelli hospitals have 1 doctor per ward and a load of nurses regularly, which is what drives up the waiting times. It's not entirely a funding issue, but a lack of trained staff. Although you will find there is an increase in private hospitals popping up in Carmarthenshire, had to visit one for an MRI due to the hospital not having enough staff, which obviously pay more than the NHS so attracts more doctors onto their staff. The NHS then has to pay them a larger fee to perform the job they are incapable of.
Lovely to see Mark Drakeford, dressing-down A. RT Davies so eloquently.
Kick out the Tories asap 🎉
Well said Mark Drakeford ,you have every reason to be so angry ,I like your passion 👏 👍
Take a bow Drakeford, showing passion for Wales and it's NHS.
Drakeford's ruined our NHS - it's scandalous how it's never reported.
@@agt155 what is it that you don't get!! Westminster hold the purse strings. You need give your head a feckin wobble.
@@THENDER1000 Our NHS if much worse than England's despite getting 20% more funding per person - work out the reason why rather than shouting out your ignorance.
Talking garbage. I work for the NHS in England and have a family member that's a GP in Wales. Tories running it into the ground but you carry on with the blinkered rubbish.
Oh please 🙄 Drakeford what has he done for Wales and the people? It's all show with him just like the Tories...they are all the same
Damn, uncle was fuming as hell 🤣
Imagine a Tory giving someone £5 to run something that costs £10 to run and then complaining about poor service. Don't imagine, just watch this video.
I work for the NHS and I BLAME MARK DRIPFORD.
Convenient Tory indignation.
But his party has been dismantling the NHS on the quiet.
And his health minister would like us to jeer nurses rather than clap them.
Please explain how the Tories have been 'dismantling the NHS on the quiet' in Wales when they have never held power in Wales?
Labour have run the Welsh NHS since devolution 15 years ago.
Tory scum working O/T on this thread?
@@1chish It's a national problem. And for proof you only have to look at the number of nurses and GPs we are short of. I live in Kent, and an elderly neighbour had to wait over six hours for an ambulance. In the words of our lame duck PM, "This is a disgrace."

No Soft Lad just me asking someone to defend their incorrect statement and expressing a different point of view. Which of course to you Liberal Lefties means I must be abused and cancelled.
How very illiberal! 😂😂
You people are so pathetic you cannot defend your own political position so you attack those who disagree.
@@Geffo555 Well living in Suffolk I have great sympathy with your position. However the thread is about how Drakeford went into Virtue Signalling overdrive to deflect from the even MORE parlous state of the Welsh NHS for which Labour have been responsible for 15 years.
In fairness to all 4 NHS areas they are still facing the fallout from COVID with reduced staff, staff not returning to work at all and large peak demands. Its not a disgrace its a fact of life.
I understand that the Welsh speaker has to keep order, but if there was more passion and anger like that displayed by Mr Drakeford at the behaviour of the tories I think we’d all be a bit better off. Bad people hide behind ‘professionalism’ and ‘etiquette’.
Thats what we need from Starmer.
Were you watching a different exchange? Drakeford was wrong footed and rattled.
@@Grahamponting It certainly sounds like I wasn't watching the same thing as you 😂
@@Grahamponting He's under a lot of pressure due to Andrew's party. Drakeford cares highly for the people let down by the service, being an ex social worker.
It's the hypocrisy and gas lighting that would fuel anger in anyone
@@Grahamponting in fact a better way to put it, it's the problem itself questioning you, telling you things aren't okay and then having the gall to say they're the solution.
Andrew RT says all this and then supports the reasons these problems exist by sticking up for Boris and Truss.
Andrew and his party are the problem and have proven over many many years that they would ravage Cymru.
Both these party’s should be replaced, I will be voting for the Reform party as will many,
True Welsh heart! A real human FM responding to a typically ruddy faced corpulent tory.
"I understand the anger, but can we please stop with all the pointing". Heaven forfend! Anything but pointing!
The pointing from the tory MP from the beginning was infuriating. It's incredibly rude.
Kinda like your roommate who steals money from you complaining that you can't pay your rent.
I have lived through two long spells of Tory rule and on both occasions the NHS has been brought to it's knees. Firstly by Thatcher and then by the present government. In between Blair's labour government got it into a much better state and it will take another labour government to put it right again !
Do you accept , That you and other Tories should be in Prison for crimes against the British people. #JailtheTories.
