Y LOLFA Who Cares About Wales?: Why the Welsh need to get angry

Award-winning investigative journalist Will Hayward takes a forensic look at the way Wales is funded and run. Devolution has left Wales ‘no longer Westminster’s problem’, and structural and political failures have condemned it to the UK’s lowest standards of living. The book sets the status quo out clearly, and calls on the people to demand better. In-depth yet accessible review of how Wales is funded and run, from the most respected political journalist in Wales – winner of multiple awards for investigative journalism both in Wales and the wider UK. 2% of Wales’ railways are electrified vs. 25% in Scotland and 41% in England. Wales has the highest rates in the UK of both child poverty and long-term limiting illness. Devolution has left Wales ‘no longer Westminster’s problem’, but Labour Welsh Governments – in power for 25 years – have had neither the tools nor the talent to properly tackle the huge issues Wales faces. Who Cares About Wales? shows how the current set-up leaves Wales condemned in perpetuity to the lowest standards of living in Britain, a third-class nation within the UK, and calls on the people to demand better.
