On the final day of campaigning (Wednesday 5th May), Peter Hain and Carwyn Jones will race 400 miles around every corner of Wales with one clear message: Thursday is ‘Decision Day’ for Wales to try and stop a Tory government which they say would make savage and immediate cuts in jobs and public services.
Starting together in Newport, Carwyn will head west taking in points from Cardiff to Carmarthenshire whilst Peter Hain races north, then completing a tour of Wales.
Secretary of State for Wales, Peter Hain, said:
‘The choice tomorrow is clear: the Tories will make cuts to the child trust funds and tax credits of families in Wales on middle and modest incomes. By cutting the Welsh budget they would threaten free prescriptions for all, and free bus travel for older people and free primary school breakfasts. Thousands of jobs and vital public services and investment would go. We have only 24 hours to stop these savage Tory cuts which will torpedo Wales’ recovery and damage businesses.’
First Minister, Carwyn Jone AM, said:
“Tens of thousands of people in Wales still have not finally made their minds up, I believe this will be a last minute election like 1992. Now is the time for the decent anti-Tory majority in Wales to come together to keep David Cameron out. I make a direct appeal to all those who do not want a Tory Government – don’t let Cameron in by the back door. Vote Labour tomorrow.”
