The Labour Party: Hain and Morgan launch manifesto for a world-beating Wales

Mr Hain said: “Wales has a clear choice on May 5th. We can go forward with the strong Labour team or we can go back to being ruled by the Tories. Labour promises even better public services, a stronger economy and safer streets.

“But this can only be delivered if people turn out to vote Labour. I’m sounding an alarm for Wales today: you will only get a Labour Government if you vote for a Labour Government. This isn’t a time to gamble. Don’t have a flutter on your future. A vote for Plaid or the Liberals could let the Tories in by the back door.

Poor Peter. Can you see him standing there, dying inside a little bit more each time he has to say, “…let the Tories in by the back door”? Do you think, as the weasel words drip from his mouth, he pictures his younger self digging up cricket pitches, marching against tyranny and risking his life for a better world? Does his grin then fade slightly and his eyes shine for a moment?

The Back Door Count currently stands at: 5.
