    I’m on the opposite side of that, i think devolution is good. Instead of being mad at devolution, you should be mad at people responsible for the situation in england.

    Don’t mistake contempt for carers/disabled people in england as a flaw in devolved governments. It’s a flaw in Tories. I’m not going to go all politics in here, but the very fact remains that Tories have shown nothing but utter contempt towards the poor, now with another suggestion that “if the cost of living crisis hits you hard, do more hours or get a better paid job” – next to the incredibly condescending comment of Anderson, suggesting that we’re all too stupid to deal with it because you can cook meals for 30p a day.

    There’s plenty of things i disagree with, in regards to Drakeford. But fact of the matter is, Labour has shown to at least give a fleeting thought towards the struggling – something that’s entirely absent from Tories. For fairness though: i don’t think Corbyn would’ve been great for the country either. Maybe not as bad as Johnson, but that’s a really, really low bar to cross. I’m a moderate, and while there are options now, there weren’t back then. The choice was between extreme right, and extreme left, and i don’t see myself in either.

    But that’s just me ranting. In the end, it shouldn’t even be a political consideration whether or not to support carers and disabled people, it should just be a given. Regardless of caring in Wales, Scotland or England. All carers should get support regardless of geolocation.
