At least with Starmer and Badenoch you know roughly what you're getting as there's beliefs of sorts behind it. With Farage it's just whichever way the wind is blowing that day.

I'm afraid Thatcher was right, Seph. We need to focus on growing industries and service where we enjoy a competitive advantage. Replicating 1970s Labour by propping up old industries to win votes doesn't get us closer to Swiss standards of wealth but closer to Albanian ones.
Of course, there may be a strategic necessity to maintain some industries but that's another argument.
Improving the transport in Wales would be a better use of funds.
