“If Wales were independent, it would be extremely poor.” Welsh First Minister Eluned Morgan says the country wouldn’t survive outside the UK - and must grow its economy. Lewis Goodall

@lewis_goodall @Eluned_Morgan Can you ask the Labour liar, who made Wales too poor to be independent? Since when did Wales run its own economy? How many lies are you prepared to broadcast by this London run chancer?

@Eluned_Morgan @lewis_goodall I've always thought that Wales could do fine for itself from tourism, and selling water and power to England. Plenty of renewable energy production from wind and hydro.

@Eluned_Morgan @lewis_goodall If only the Welsh electorate could recognise the link between decades of voting Labour and the persistent cycle of poverty that has resulted. They must all have severe learning difficulties or something.

@Eluned_Morgan @lewis_goodall British Nationalists arguing that hundreds of years of British misrule has left a powerhouse like Scotland or a country like Wales too impoverished to be a normal independent country again is the ultimate irony. Independence from their failed state has never been more important!

@Eluned_Morgan @lewis_goodall The same lying drivel that Scotland was deluged with by Donald Dewar when he said an independent Scotland would have been as poor as Bangladesh. the truth is Labour “saved” Scotland from being as rich as Norway-and too many fools are still thanking them for that!

@Eluned_Morgan @lewis_goodall I doubt that I will ever understand why a country would vote into power, a leader, whose ambitions for her country are so low. Can’t fathom it.

@Eluned_Morgan @lewis_goodall Like Scotland & NI, Wales hasn't a hope in hell of growing its economy whilst it's still in the UK & subject to its lunatic economic policies.

@Eluned_Morgan @lewis_goodall If Eluned believes Cymru is dependent on England, then she has no business being first minister. Get her gone.

@Eluned_Morgan @lewis_goodall it's so insulting to the people of Wales to suggest they are being kept afloat by the rest of the UK

@Eluned_Morgan @lewis_goodall She’s spot on. Wales spends £16 billion more a year than it raises via its own taxes, it’s able to do so because of the union. To maintain that spending independently you’d either have to make huge cuts or increase taxes massively. Probably both.
