If I was a conspiracy theorist, I would be thinking, that "Welsh" Labour are deliberately failing us in the Senedd as a ploy to avoid responsibility and blame everything on the Tory Government in Westminster.
As i have written before I respect Jeremy Corbyn but as recent critic of a previous post I made then I should have qualified it.
Indeed and I wonder if the Head Office have not turned to their Welsh Branch and asked them
Prehaps their answer is
So maybe Mark Drakeford answer is to do nothing that attracts attention to his government in Wales
So we can have plans to cut or end emergency services, at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital and allow Labour AM's PM's and councilors to try and be seen as leading the opposition despite Health being a devolved issue and the responsibility of a " Labour Government".
It also means that Labour legislatures in Wales can send a letter to the Westminster Government an letter asking for a one-off grant of £30m to pay for repair and restoration work across Rhondda Cynon Taff.
They say they also want council tax and business rates suspended for a year in affected properties.
They accepted some matters are devolved - but want action at a UK level.
In other words they are trying to shift any responsibility, to Westminster and shift any responsibility there.
If this was happening in Scotland , then Holyrood and the SNP government , would be the center of their attention.
Can it be that Labour are to prepared to risk devolution , rather than take responsibility.
For the Labour Party the Senedd should be the showcase of what can be done in government, but actually doing this seems to frighten them.
Maybe they think rather than raise support for them it will increase the desire for parity with Scotland and even following them out of the Union.

Why do you have great respect for Jeremy Corbyn? The former Vice President of CND who refused to oppose Trident renewal? The man whose ignorance about Scotland is so deep that he didn't even know that we have a totally separate legal system? The man who has led the Labour Party to their biggest defeat since the 1930s? The man who said he was "neutral" on Brexit? The arch unionist, because he does not understand anything outside London? As a Scottish leftist independence supporter, I have nothing but contempt for Corbyn. Why do you respect him?
Indeed and I wonder if the Head Office have not turned to their Welsh Branch and asked them
"Why can't you be like the Nats in Scotland and give us an example of how we should behave in power?"
Prehaps their answer is
"We can't risk making devolution popular or Wales will only follow, Scotland in seeking more or even independence.
