Are "Welsh" Labour "unimaginative and tired" ?

Our Third Rate Minister has claimed that "Brexit must not be allowed to take up so much time that it stops Welsh ministers getting their plans through the assembly", 

Though considering none of the Bills appear to have any major structural changes to Wales , then I wonder how this would happen

The Conservatives rightly claimed that "Welsh" Labour was "unimaginative and tired" and was "tinkering at the edges".

 Interim Welsh Conservative leader Paul Davies said:

 "The headline bills to be announced today is typical Welsh Labour; tinker at the edges, but do nothing to resolve the fundamental challenges to Welsh society and its economy."

The annual statement in the Senedd on Tuesday is the nearest thing the assembly has to a Queen's Speech.

Mr Jones said Cardiff Bay faced a

 "substantial programme" of amending EU regulations, but added: "As far as possible, we must not allow this Brexit workload to limit our legislative ambitions.
"But we must be flexible and be ready to adapt our legislative programme, should the need arise."

I thought that he had handed most of these responsibility back to Westminster when he capitulated over the power grab.#

So what can we expect.

 

• The local government bill will also lower the voting age in council elections to 16

 

• Another bill will remove the defence of reasonable chastisement for people accused of hitting children - in effect, a ban on smacking.

 

• Wild animals will be banned from performing in travelling circuses.

 

•  Other new bills to be presented over the coming year will aim to make the Welsh NHS more transparent and prepare Wales for the impact of Brexit.

None of these  seem to be bills which  will face opposition appear to lead to the Assembly being entirely split over Party Lines,

There is nothing in this program however  which will attempt to alleviate the ongoing  Austerity Agenda or seek to improve the economy.

Of course the Welsh Assembly is limited in its powers, but with a  long leadership contest in Plaid, Labour, and the Tories not forgetting Ukip (no matter how we want to) then it will be interesting to see if any of the leadership candidates in any party, can come up with something a little more imaginative than the above.
