Mark Drakeford has turned Wales into a testing ground for 'ridiculous ideas', says Telegraph writer

A Telegraph columnist has criticised First Minister Mark Drakeford for making Wales "a testing ground for all the most ridiculous ideas in politics" and for expecting England to "subsidise his projects".

Journalist Kara Kennedy argues that although Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and London's Mayor Sadiq Khan may get "all the attention", Mr Drakeford is the "worst devolved leader of the lot".

It's not the first time this week journalists in London have weighed in on Welsh politics. On Tuesday, Ms Kennedy described the Welsh Conservatives as being "in a dire state" and that the party was a "sinking ship", you can read more about this here. On Wednesday, British broadcaster and Telegraph columnist, Iain Dale, also denounced the Welsh Government for introducing the "mad" 20mph speed limit rule, while incorrectly claiming that they were "abolishing" the 30mph speed limit.
