Welsh Government accused of ‘betraying Llansamlet’ over waste incinerator
The Welsh Government has been accused of betraying Llansamlet over its failure to call in the incinerator plan by an AM. Dr Dai Lloyd, Plaid Cymru AM for South Wales West, has hit out at the Labour-led administration and Swansea West AM Julie James after she failed to take the step over the controversial plans for Biffa’s incinerator in Llansamlet.

Jeremy Corbyn: ‘Welsh Government is doing its best’
Jeremy Corbyn has said he believes the Welsh Government is “doing its best” when it comes to key devolved areas of education and health.

In the wake of repeated warnings from unions and teachers about funding cuts impacting on staff, pupils and forcing them to shut schools early and even clean their own toilets , he said he was aware of the issues which had been highlighted in recent weeks, but blamed the financial settlement the UK Government gives Wales. “The money for education is part of the devolved package and there’s been a huge cut," he said. Mr Corbyn denied that was an excuse. “It’s not a cop out at all. It’s the reality. That money is then handed on to local authorities to run the education service. There’s one authority that seems to have had the … [Read more...] about Jeremy Corbyn: ‘Welsh Government is doing its best’
