In-depth yet accessible review of how Wales is funded and run, from the most respected political journalist in Wales – winner of many 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 of child poverty in the UK, and the UK's highest rates of long-term limiting illness. Devolution has left Wales 'no longer Westminster’s problem', but successive 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 setup leaves Wales condemned in perpetuity to the lowest standards of living in Britain, a third-class nation within the UK, and calls on its people to demand better.
