Looks like some people didn’t read the report properly. As is pointed out, people are struggling to feed their children because of Tory austerity cuts.
Didn’t Dominic Grieve say he would resign if DePiffle became PM?
That would leave them with a nice round figure for their majority.
The trouble is that this was quarter-hearted devolution by Margaret Thatcher’s ‘greatest achievement’ – Tony Blair.
Important things are not devolved eg social security. Devolution didn’t immunise Wales from George Osborne’s massive local council cuts. We’re seeing the effects of these cuts all around us.
But devolution is great for dumping all the blame on Welsh Labour. Not that I’m any fan of WL, as they seem to be a bunch of red Tories.

“I have no problem with Harold Shipman. I’m sorry to say I have no trust with Florence Nightingale any more.” (Hey, Rupert, what thoughts should I hold next? Tell me in your next free Sun, ta.)
And that’s before you talk about the extra pressure on the local doctors’ practice. House builders just want their money and then to split.
If I believed everything the Murdoch and pals crew told me, I might have felt the same way.
Fortunately, I don’t, and voting for the anti-austerity cuts candidate is the easiest decision in the world afaic.
The reason we have these thumping great council budget cuts is because George Osborne took them forward as part of the Tory austerity programme.
I do admire the way they seem to have created this illusion that it’s all some sort of natural disaster that’s happened in a vacuum, though.
Looks like my brexit larder will come in handy after all, considering that 30% of our food comes from the EU.
Funny that you mention Johnson. Here’s a quote from this charlatan:
“It is also true that the single market is of considerable value to many UK companies and consumers, and that leaving would cause at least some business uncertainty, while embroiling the Government for several years in a fiddly process of negotiating new arrangements, so diverting energy from the real problems of this country – low skills, low social mobility, low investment etc – that have nothing to do with Europe.”
But he‘ll forget that if it means he gets to be PM.

I think Matt’s comments are spot on. I think the pro leavers are mixing up what they want to be true with what is actually true.
BTW if the two contenders are one donkey and one Tory, the donkey will always be the strongest candidate based entirely on the merits.
We’re already seeing a nationwide medicine shortage. Couple that with food shortages and thumping price hikes and other horrors – people will soon be queuing up to thank Lucas for his careful approach.
Just out of interest Tim, please tell what medicine’s are listed in your ‘nationwide shortage’?

I think it’s pain killers and blood pressure medicine, amongst others. I’m mostly going by the notice put up in my local pharmacy, saying, from memory, ‘please don’t blame us for medicine shortages. This is a nationwide problem. Please ask your MP for help.’ Maybe you could ask at a pharmacy?
This problem will be made worse by brexit, because we get, amongst other drugs, insulin and epilepsy medicine from the EU, with time-critical supply lines.
