FU Wales!

[JP_]

The Government is boasting about its "levelling up fund" giving £46m to Wales

But the EU pays £375m a year towards development.

Oh well. I guess 52.5% of Welsh people voted for it, so they should be grateful for anything the UK government sends them.

Political spin, little else. Making it this is a great deal for Wales, when in reality they're much worse off.

A pre-Brexit, pre-Covid promise. Lots of reasons to not honour it now.

You should be PM, you have such insight.

"That promise was pre-Brexit, about what we would do post Brexit.
Now we're post Brexit,
so surely you can understand, we're in a totally unpredicted situation."

The £370 billion cost of Covid obviously means we have to stop that £329 million -
0.0889% is far more important than a semblance of integrity.

Do I detect that you didn't detect my irony?
