Our politicians have failed relentlessly and things are only going to get worse. Let's take a deep dive into who is to blame for the state of the Welsh NHS
Our politicians are shit - is that going to be the theme?
I’ve spent a long time observing and participating in our politics; I have been a House of Commons Lobby Correspondent and had a brief stint working in the US Congress too. I honestly don’t think our politicians are any different to anyone else’s.
I can trade frustrations with you but the truth is that there are no simple answers (if there were don’t you think we’d have tried them?).
One of the reasons I left journalism was because I could feel myself starting to pander to the tropes that politicians are the same and a bit rubbish. I went off to try and run things instead, and create things. And it’s bloody hard. But that’s what it takes. Please don’t fall to the populist trap.
The reason I’ve paid up for this subscription is that I think you are a good journalist, and it costs, and there’s not enough of it. I don’t think there’s enough quality scrutiny and there is too much cosiness. So I’m not shooting down your criticism and I want to encourage more proper challenge. We all need to do better.
Constructive and informative and easy to read. I feel better informed after that. A great start.
