Although an Englishman, I am deeply dismayed that so many of my countrymen are beguiled by pork barrel politics, their moral compasses swinging wildly towards promises of ‘levelling up’, after 11 years of Conservative levelling down. Welsh Labour has avoided that fate because of that rare, political quality, Mark Drakeford’s honesty.

Brexit encouraged Westminster to attempt a power-grab of some devolved powers, and the Welsh Conservatives will be happy to assist their kindred spirits in Westminster to further clip the wings of the successful opposition in Wales. Johnson is on record as saying ‘devolution was Tony Blair’s biggest mistake’, and will now do his utmost to restrict Welsh autonomy.
