Labour has given up on the UK

IN recent days there has been plenty of commentary on Labour’s First Minister in Wales’ outrageous claim that the “United Kingdom is over”.

This type of rhetoric is nothing new to political watchers in Wales but has come as something of a surprise to some across the UK, and delight to others, particularly the SNP who are using Mark Drakeford as their new poster boy for independence.

During his short time in post, the Corbynite Drakeford has regrettably flirted with divisive nationalism. He appears to be more than willing to throw Britain under the bus if it means he can cling on to power in Cardiff Bay.

And whilst it’s an approach that doesn’t chime with the recent narrative from his UK Labour leader, Sir Keir Starmer, Drakeford doesn’t care as he attempts to pave the way for a Labour-Welsh nationalist coalition after May’s election. That’s the last thing Wales needs. The main priority for politicians and governments should be Wales and the UK’s economic recovery, not constitutional chaos.

The Corbynite regime i in Cardiff Bay will continue to undermine the Union – even doing a deal with the separatists – if it means continuing their 22-year stranglehold o on the Assembly. And despite his best attempts at waving the Union Jack, the people of Wales, and the UK, should be fully a aware of where the Labour Party stands: they’ve given up on the U UK.
