It was devolution that did for Welsh Labour

The Labour Party has long been the dominant political force in Wales.

It was inconceivable for many communities not to consistently vote Labour.

They, it was argued, were the workers and their families' political representatives.

It was, they argued,  the party of Aneurin Bevan, but often ignored, also the party of George Thomas.

Then along came devolution and the start of Labour’s problems in Wales.
