Wales faces enduring underfunding and failures in governance that lock in chronic hardship and slower progress.
In-depth yet accessible review of how Wales is funded and run, from the most respected political journalist in Wales - winner of multiple awards for investigative journalism both in Wales and the wider UK. 2% of Wales' railways are electrified vs. 25% in Scotland and 41% in England. Wales has the highest rates in the UK of both child poverty and long-term limiting illness. Devolution has left Wales 'no longer Westminster's problem', but Labour Welsh Governments - in power for 25 years - have had neither the tools nor the talent to properly tackle the huge issues Wales faces. Who Cares About Wales? shows how the current set-up leaves Wales condemned in perpetuity to the lowest standards of living in Britain, a third-class nation within the UK, and calls on the people to demand better.
