Wales spends more per person on public services than England.

But in education and the NHS, outcomes are often much worse.

With a week to go before the Senedd election, I’ve travelled across the country looking at what's going wrong and how the next government might fix it

@salmidach What next, are you sure the WRU won’t want to reduce it to 2 at some point? Time to stand up. The WRU are a disgrace to rugby in Wales.

@NewsatTwm Don’t get to watch a lot of NFL, but I did watch most of this game yesterday. You’re right it was great as a neutral.

@LWaunfawr Too many handling errors cost Cardiff the bonus point for me.

What it feels like to be a Dragons fan…

[Chris Berry @chrisberry1980]

@CardiffRugbyWeb Yeah, helps to level things out when the ref and TMO make mistakes.

[Danny Jamieson @DannyJamieson]

Honestly I’d go one further. Expand it to all 211 teams.

You could do the group stages locally/regionally for logistical reasons. Best 32 teams from the group stage make it through to the ‘finals’.

Then hold that in one country with a group stage/knockouts. Everybody wins 🙃

@MrJonathanCarr @WelshRugbyUnion Spot on. Should be the same with ticket prices.

[Mike Pullen @MikePullen1969]

Probably need to move to a North and South island set up. Perhaps do a survey?

If Keir Starmer had said before the election that he would remove the winter fuel allowance from millions of pensioners, hammer the disabled with welfare cuts, add inheritance tax to family farms and family businesses causing thousands of them to close, his deputy prime minister dodging £40,000 in tax, council tax & energy price increases, raise university tuition fees, plaster mass-scale solar panels on thousands of acres of prime farmland despite huge local community objections, hand over sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius at a cost of £35bn, spaff £30bn of taxpayers’ money on carbon capture machines, give £3bn a year of taxpayers’ money to Ukraine, betray WASPI women, hang out with BlackRock, 50,000 small boat crossings in one year, create a new £50bn economic black hole, increase the overall tax burden to record levels, destroy business growth with national insurance rises resulting in over 200,000 job losses, get exposed for receiving over £100,000 worth of freebies - he almost certainly wouldn’t have won. He duped the electorate. An utterly shameless display of snake oil political salesmanship. And still he lectures all of us in that gratingly sanctimonious manner of his like we are all somehow the problem here.

[Chris Rose @ArchRose90]

Keir Starmer has managed to pick:

An anti-corruption minister who resigned after being accused of corruption.

A homelessness minister who resigned after making people homeless.

A housing minister caught up in a tax scandal over a second home.

He loves fellow hypocrites.

@Oweninsouts @alunsays @TheVietGwent @WelshRugbyUnity @rees_ow It’s only you that keeps talking about Cardiff. We are talking about East Wales. Keep up.

[Chris Berry @chrisberry1980]

@alunsays @TheVietGwent @WelshRugbyUnity @Oweninsouts @rees_ow Blue and black hoops sounds good me.

[Chris Berry @chrisberry1980]

@TheVietGwent @Oweninsouts @rees_ow @WelshRugbyUnity I wouldn’t be so sure as to what the WRU does about the 2 teams. We could very well see an East Wales team that plays most of there games in Cardiff and play in mostly blue. How much Cardiff is allowed to be in the East Wales team?

[Chris Berry @chrisberry1980]

@TheVietGwent @Oweninsouts @rees_ow @WelshRugbyUnity 1. The Question was aimed at Owen as we all know he hates Cardiff and anything to do with it. What colour does this made up team East Wales play in then?
I’m curious to know at what point this East Wales team stops representing him.

[Chris Berry @chrisberry1980]

@Oweninsouts @rees_ow @WelshRugbyUnity So is that a no? I just want to see where the line is for you. At what point would you not support East Wales when the WRU don’t do exactly what you want

[Chris Berry @chrisberry1980]

@Oweninsouts @rees_ow @WelshRugbyUnity What if East Wales play all their games in Cardiff and wear blue jerseys?

[Chris Berry @chrisberry1980]

@Oweninsouts @rees_ow @WelshRugbyUnity What if East Wales play the majority of their games in Cardiff?

If you have lived within your means and grown a few quid in an ISA or inherited a house and use it as a buy to let, Keir Starmer, who cleared a £2m mortgage, makes £160k a year, taps people up for clothes for his wife, says it’s you who isn’t the worker. Also, look at his child-like glee when he thinks he has got one up on her. Insightful.
