If Mark Drakeford’s Wales is the blueprint for a Labour Government, God help Britain
Fails in Wales
ANYONE tempted by a Labour Government should look at their dismal record in Wales.
Mark Drakeford’s administration there is supposedly the “blueprint” for a Keir Starmer one in Westminster.
Which might not trouble voters if they want the same plummeting education standards which have seen Welsh teenagers fall below average on international league tables in maths, literacy and science while England’s have climbed towards the world’s best.
Or if they want an NHS as bad as it now is in Wales, worse than England’s and sending more and more patients fleeing across the border for treatment.
Or if they want blanket 20mph limits brainlessly imposed on roads which have been safe for decades at 30mph.
Or their taxes splurged on every virtue-signalling, woke hobby horse the Left can find.

Such as indoctrinating kids about “multiple genders” — and championing the self-identifying trans-rights insanity which upended the SNP.
Wales has had enough. Before Mr Drakeford suddenly quit yesterday, a 56 per cent majority no longer rated him.
Starmer’s poll leads are based solely on Government unpopularity. Enough to stroll into power, maybe. But what then?
What else does Labour have, once they are not held aloft by anti-Tory hostility?

Foiled fiend
WE have often berated the Parole Board for gullibly giving dangerous criminals the benefit of the doubt.
It is only right, then, to salute their refusal to free Jon Venables.
James Bulger’s murderer is a wicked, lying paedophile and still a risk to the public. We knew releasing him would be unsafe and parole officers agreed.
But The Sun has also campaigned for far greater openness over hearings.
Why was this one held in secret?
Why can the public, James’s parents included, not hear any new evidence on which he was judged?
That must change when he tries again.
Warped Left
WHERE is the “ceasefire now” brigade as Russia shells a kindergarten in Kyiv?
Where are the Left’s cries for the Kremlin to stop? For that matter, where is their condemnation of socialist failed state Venezuela as it limbers up for an imperialist war to steal Guyana’s oil?
Where are the demands for Hamas to free their Israeli hostages and surrender, so Gazans can live in peace?
On those the Left is mute. On other matters it deploys deliberately benign language to hide its warped motives.
