Total Hypocrisy from Welsh Tories plans to decrease the assembly budget.

Like many rightwing parties the Tories , promise to cut government expenditure , whilst spending more , reduce taxes whilst increasing the likes of NHS

Boris Johnson ( or his speechwriter) has urged the Welsh Conservatives to build on their general election success to take power in Wales at next year's Senedd election.

The BC report that 

He told activists in Llangollen the Tories were a great one-nation party representing deprived communities as well as leafy suburbs and market towns.
"We speak proudly now for people whose families have never voted Conservative for generations," he said.
"We will represent them well and we will repay their trust."
The Conservatives won six seats from Welsh Labour in December, giving it 14 MPs in Wales and its best result since 1983.
Mr Johnson pledged to invest in education, infrastructure and technology to "spread opportunity" and "transform the fortunes of our entire country".
He said it was "not just the right thing to do, but the economically smart thing to do".
Looking ahead to the Senedd election, Mr Johnson said it would be "fantastic" to have a Welsh Government that properly served the interests of the people of Wales, instead of Labour under First Minister Mark Drakeford.
"Let's get ready for 2021 and let's make sure Paul Davies and his team show the desiccated Corbynista Drakeford where to get off," he said.
Welsh Conservatives in power would deliver vital transport improvements he claimed were being ignored by Welsh Labour, such as the case for an M4 relief road rejected by Mr Drakeford.
Referring to the regularly congested Brynglas tunnels in Newport, Mr Johnson said: "Let's unblock the nostrils of the Welsh dragon with the Vicks inhaler of one-nation Welsh Conservative can-do spirit."

 SoJohnson tells us that a Tory Welsh Government would build an M4 extention whilst ignoring the £Bns of underinvestnent in Wales' rail network which UK Gov IS responsible for. and making us pay for H2 for which we get no benefit

Meanwhile one of the two branch managers (the other being Welsh Secretary Simon Hart), the Tories' assembly group leader Paul Davies pledged to "end the assembly gravy train" if they win power at the 2021 Senedd election.

He pledged to halve the number of Welsh ministers to seven, freeze civil servant recruitment and not increase the budget of the body which runs the assembly
"We will not be abolishing the assembly, but we need to listen more" to those who wanted the Senedd scrapped, he said.lThe party, he said, was "within a hair's breadth of putting an end to Labour's grip on power".
In his speech, Mr Davies said that the 20th anniversary of devolution marked "20 years of failure" for many people.
He compared "elites" in Cardiff Bay to Brussels, saying many people felt remote from power.
But he said it was Labour, not devolution, that had failed and the Conservatives had consistently criticised the Welsh Government's record on public services such as health and education.

The Labour Party, Mr Davies said, had wasted money on Cardiff Airport, a Pinewood film studio and the Circuit of Wales race track project.
He promised a Welsh Conservative government would upgrade the A55, build an M4 relief road and double investment in flood defences.
In a message to First Minister Mark Drakeford he added: "I'm telling you Mark, your time is up. I'm coming for you."
Meanwhile Welsh Secretary Simon Hart told party members their party was "an unstoppable force" after the general election victory, claiming Paul Davies had a "realistic chance" of becoming first minister in 2021.
On Welsh Labour, Mr Hart said: "For a government to be in office every year for 22 years cannot be healthy".

Yes here we go "elites in power in Cardiff bay from the party led by Public School/Oxbridge graduates at Westminster ans continue to swell the ranks of the House of Lords making it the biggest legislature in the World after India.

The Drain the Swamp claims often from those who end up replacing it with a cesspit.

Paul Davies can start bystoping his group  eight out of 12 Tory AMs who employ family members

Almost a third of Assembly Members employ family members or relatives of another AM 
.
Compare this with Plaid Cymru have imposed a party ban on employing family members since 2016 and as a result none of their 10 AMs employs a family member
.
Tory AM Mohammed Asghar employs his wife and daughter on a part-time basis. it was Ashgar, who defected from Plaid Cymru because they refused to let him employ his daughter.

Tory group leader Paul Davies employs Tory AM Suzy Davies’s son as a senior press officer as well as another Tory AM’s wife as a researcher.

It’s estimated that the combined wages for these family members, some of whom are employed on a part-time basis, would amount to around £500,000 a year with AMs’ staff earning between £18,000 and £39,000 annually.

Total Hypocrisy . Cut the Senedd budget whilst lining their own pockets.

It's a cynical attempt to gain the vote of those seeking to Abolish the Assembly . whilst gaining power .

Why doesn't Paul Davies campaign to abolish the Welsh Office and end the duality of jobs.

Why doesn't he point out that after devolution , many Ministers at Westminster have less responsibility and are effectively English Minister , is that not a case of reducing ministers in Westminster,?

“I’m not convinced there is a case for an England-only parliament,” he said. “We have an England-only parliament. It’s in Westminster"

Boris Johnson. 

Has devolution seen reduction in Civil servants who now only deal with England or better still reducing the Cabinet  number and junior minister in England only cabinets.

Of course not.
