Welsh ministers 'detached from reality' claim

A former Labour adviser has blamed its disappointing election results in Wales on a Labour Welsh government which can seem "detached from reality".
Ex-Wales Office adviser David Taylor said ministers can appear "unable to accept" when they make mistakes.

Labour lost Gower and the Vale of Clwyd to the Conservatives, and failed to take target seats including Cardiff North and the Vale of Glamorgan.
The Welsh Conservatives won 11 seats, their best performance in 32 years.

The criticism from Mr Taylor, who advised Peter Hain when he was Welsh Secretary, is contained in an article for the Institute of Welsh Affairs think tank.
He wrote: "It is Labour that runs the Welsh government. It is Labour that runs the majority of Welsh local authorities.

"And the Conservatives on a UK level successfully exploited many people's unhappiness with those Labour-run services at this election.
"Quite simply, Labour did worse in Wales than parts of England because they are in government in Wales and that government sometimes seems detached from reality, struggling to modernise, lacking in steam or ideas, and unable to accept when it gets things wrong.
