Yes he's realised Wales exists outside Cardiff & Bridgend!
Can you
sense the buzz? The excitement! The anticipation! God, I can barely contain my excitement. Many a restless night across Wales recently but not due to the sweltering heat but due to the excitement of........ the Carwyn Connects tour! Yes, as if you didn’t know, coming to a town near you –
your chance to quiz the illustrious First Minister of Wales.

| Carwyn spots blue coalition parters? |
In the bars and
pubs across our nation - from north, south, east and west - people are discussing the tour. Across dinner tables and
social media – the excitement has reached fever-pitch!
So, the
leader of the Welsh branch of British Labour is going on tour – hold on, only
two dates announced so far – WRITE THEM IN YOUR DIARY NOW to avoid missing out! My school pupils this morning asked if I'd booked tickets to avoid disappointment.
Carwyn wants to
understand the peoples concerns – to be fair Labour have ONLY had 16 years to work them
out, 93 years in Llanelli and other seats in the south. By the way the cost of
staging each ‘gig’ is estimated at £1,000 and yes, you've guessed it - we're footing the bill!

| Last time Labour tried to connect in Wales! |
I will be
asking him about Andy Burnham! Burnham admitted knowing while working as
Treasury Minister Wales was being underfunded – and did NOTHING. To be fair to
him Labour was probably too busy engaged in the Iraq War.
In Wales we
have a small media – very small, we need to grow a ‘Welsh Fleet Street’ - minus the phone hacking. What
doesn’t help is when BBC Wales News acts as a mouthpiece for the Welsh branch
of British Labour – announcing the tour dates as the MAIN STORY on the news
yesterday morning!
I urge you
all to meet Carwyn, quiz him as to why our children live in abject poverty.
Quiz him as to why our elderly people live in such poverty. Quiz him as to why
his party has ruined our education system. Quiz him as to why he won’t fight
for the Welsh national interest. Quiz him as to why his party didn’t secure
fair funding for Wales despite 13 years in office in London. Quiz him as to why
he described money in the Welsh economy as ‘England’s money’.
The list
goes ON AND ON AND ON!
