I want to write to Beth Winter
Beth Winter: ...being circulated a month late. NASUWT said the letter was a stunt that will delay publication of recommendations before the general election, while the National Education Union said that it showed contempt for the teaching profession. With regard to the NHS letter, Unison said that the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care must hold proper pay talks early this year or risk a...
Beth Winter: ...see the money retained, which has been agreed many times before—there was a precedent. It is—I will use the term—theft from the people of Wales, and it demonstrates the Tories’ complete contempt for our country.
Beth Winter: ...to restore it, so what do they do? Attack, attack, attack, enforcing authoritarian and draconian legislation on this country, which we will oppose.

Labour has proposed a fully costed and funded package of Government...
Beth Winter: ...set by the Treasury here is still lower per head in real terms than it was in 2010. The UK Government’s attempts to bypass the Senedd with levelling-up and community renewal funding exposes their contempt for devolution and their lack of understanding of the real priorities for us here in Wales. The process is a complete shambles. Funding is limited and not properly targeted, and it...
Beth Winter: ...from this Bill that the aim of the Tory Government is “to cement their neoliberal economic and social agenda into the framework of a centralised… state”, and that the Bill shows their “contempt for devolution, the constitution and the rule of law”. I agree with him. Mutual recognition is a blunt instrument, and it is not clear why this path is the Government’s preference when...
