GE2024 - A manifest disappointment?

Hiraeth - Welsh Politics

With all of the manifestos now published and it being written in black and white what the parties are pledging to deliver if elected to government in May, are electors excited about the prospects on offer? In short, not particularly. With Labour clearly on course for a massive victory in May, even their manifesto is surprisingly safe, with the emphasis on reducing electoral risk over inspiring the masses. So what should we think of the manifestos on offer? Is there any innovative thinking behind any of them? Should we expect them to address the cost of living difficulties facing citizens across the UK in 2024 or the local or global economic and environmental crises that risk wellbeing for us all? To discuss, we have a tremendous panel of guests: - Meg Thomas - Policy and Research Officer at Disability Wales - https://twitter.com/meganniathomas - Lowri Jackson - DeputyDirector for Communications for the Royal College of Physicians - https://twitter.com/LowriRhiannon - Libby Davies - Account Manager at Grayling, and former Senedd and Parliamentary Affairs Officer at the Farmers’ Union of Wales - https://twitter.comLibbyDavies_ - Matthew Denney - is a barrister and Chartered tax advisor at Bevan Buckland LLP - https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthew-denney-aa074729/ As always, you can find the latest from us @hiraethpod on most social media, including Twitter/X here: twitter.com/HiraethPod We hope you find this podcast interesting and useful.
