I seem to remember this being discussed a while ago? Once the indignation and fuss had died down, it turned out to be an admirable scheme to help young care leavers.

Sounds as if a few right wing journalists found an old article.

Nothing DippyDrakeford does is a surprise.
He couldn't even run a bath.

I have no doubt that he takes a shower, as it’s more environmentally friendly.
I’m proud to live in a country where we have a FM who cares.

Cares so much about his own pensioners. Obviously not. The man is a fool.

Thanks for this Meryl - the plot is now thinning and not thickening grin

Well that makes much more sense...

So it is actually aimed at care leavers. It sounds a very good idea, also a good idea to have a trial period so that results can be assessed.
The right wing headlines are just a silly emphasis to stir people up.
Care leavers need all the help they can get, and if that included some refugee children who have been in care, then yes, Wales can indeed be proud of their Government.

It's not Drakeford 's baby.

You might all want to get past the indignant pouting and find out do what the real story is. Not what the Daily Mail tells you it is.

Come on now volver3, you know that doesn’t fit the narrative!

But that's double what people get for their state pension... and much more than unemployment benefit for most.. what is he hoping to achieve?

Is it true?

Ilovecheese Tue 18-Apr-23 12:56:16

I Googled and saw pieces from The Sun, The Express and the Mail, oh and a twitter account named "Toryboypierce"

Think they might be a tiny bit biased perhaps??

Germanshepherdsmum Tue 18-Apr-23 12:48:39

Drakeford has evidently gone mad.

LadyGracie Tue 18-Apr-23 12:31:50

Google it, it's true!
