Drakeford confirmed

As the only UK politician scheduled to attend the World Cup. Absolutely shocking.

It's an ego trip for him... as been said previously in pandemic with his decisions.......it's a case of look at me I'm being different....

Not that he should be going in the first case but the Labour Party should be doing something about it as he once again is going against the parties principles.

Scrounger, free holiday while supposedly at work, shocking what a waste of a ticket

100% agree. Tbf Starmer isn’t going so as head of the party he should order all other members not to go. Drakeford loves making wales look different but this is scandalous.

Since when does drakeford care what others say because what he says is law as we've seen previously on other issues.

Purge him out like the other Corbynite dinosaurs.

Drippy protest in Qatar.. 3 years in one of the Sultans hotels.. best outcome of this trip.

We should be so lucky!

Sorry to be so opposite to the rest on here but, if we send a team why shouldn't he go?

I don't think he should go but no one should go if we are to make a stance. No team, no fans, no politicians.

Feels more like a stick to beat him with when we are still eager to watch Wales in a World Cup.

There's lots of virtue signalling amongst the nations like Denmark and their faded out shirt but it all falls short of what should actually be happening if Qatar has anything to be accountable for.

Wayne, I said in an earlier post on how did FIFA allow Iran in when they are not including women's football which is against FIFAs all inclusive law?
All this rainbow laces, armbands does nothing but make the players feel better on cashing their cheques.

Why shouldn't he go for start hes watchingjust one game he hates football.... WG says he will stay if we progress why stay isnt 2wks long enough to make his protest to qatary gvmnt? If lbgt+ and organisations refusing to go why does he think it's a good idea, And finally he is only official politician going despite his own party requesting him not to go as well as other WG labour politicians... it really is an ego trip nothing more.

Do we each get 10k for every day he’s over there like the club does with the players? If money is tight I’ll settle for 5k

If tan.had his way it will be 5pence a day!
No matter how much it will cost he will justify the expense somehow.

Well I've written to Starmer at HQ so let's see how strong he is unless MD says he's going as a neutral and not on business.

The only people who thinks it's a good idea are his cronies who need the job as an A.M. and do/say anything to keep drakedord on their side.... Hes going to tell the Qatary leaders he doesn't like the way they treat lbqt+ people? I can see him now over lunch of sheeps eyes (welsh ones)
I'm here to look good so please renounce your religious beliefs just for world cup so I can win election at home.

We’ll soon have 50% more AMs sticking their little piggy snouts in the trough.

Yes and probably want more next year soon be more to finance sennedd and WG than to finance health education and other public bodies..

He has been informed about party directive and they are awaiting a reply.

He knew this weeks ago he is a self centred egotistical dictator who simply ignores things if it doesn't go is way ..... several times recently was asked about things he simply didn't reply to the question because it was negative one .

Many politicians have gladly accepted gifts from the Qatari government recently. Not really sure why I'm posting this mind as Drakeford could find a cure for cancer and this board would be slagging him off (and managing to shoehorn a reference to Corbyn in there for good measure )

What's politicians accepting gifts got to do with drakeford ignoring his leader his fellow A.Ms and going to Qatar? Undoubtedly he will get a gift as well for promoting Qatar during his visit.

Its far deeper than accepting gifts, article talks about how Westminster politicians accepted gifts and then went on to voice pro-Qatari opinions in Westminster.

Just pointing out that this is happening across the board in the UK. labour and Tories.

As always though this board will happily ignore all the wrongs in government unless it concerns the senedd and Drakeford.

No argument from me on that, politicians tend to be self serving scum, irrespective of party. However this is a Cardiff board so it’s natural Drakeford will receive more scrutiny on here. Drakeford is IMO a complete failure, who’s student politics are holding Wales back. What do you think he’s done to make Wales better?

Fair point but there will always be someone who will make point about a party or government.. . But drakeford is a different kettle of fish when comes to politicians .. nothing is approved or goes forward unless he says it does it suppose to be a democracy but ever since he's come to power democracy doesn't happen simply because if he doesnt want it he stops it m4 classic mr Sargent another there's along list..... and as jock says it's a Cardiff board so WG is relevant but Westminster is not amune from attack particularly conservative party. Do you think drakeford should be going when even the lbgt+ officials and drakefords boss is not going? Latest from WG avian flu England all birds stay in doors WG we will look at scientific evidence despite chicken farmers asking for the measures.... WG response is follow the advice? only problem with advice is crows pigeons seagulls ect cant read so liable to spread disease...that's how useless WG is.

Yep I mentioned Corbyn along side drakeford to keep in even so after he has sorted cancer out which will be handy for me at moment will he follow Corbyns lead in boycotting Qatar due to human rights? NO.
Will he follow his executive? NO.
Which shows he is an out of date 2nd rate excuse of a political non entity like Kinnock was back in the day.

Jules hes simply doing what he did throughout pandemic and since been in power. he does opposite to what others do? Avian flu latest example ... as for Qatar he as got no excuse for going no one else that matters are going in fact I would be weary of what harm he could do to any trade links with them if he opens his mouth on Qatari affairs like homosexuality and builders rights?
He is a non entity politician trying to look important...

Thought the post was going to say “confirmed as Director of Football”. Maybe he’ll be doing a bit of scouting while out there.

Take his scum son with him.

I’d say this board is fairly generous to Drakeford. On the streets and workplaces they’re not so forgiving.
He’s an excellent disaster.
