IF YOU live in Wales but outside Cardiff then you probably think that the capital city gets more than its fair share of everything. It holds most of the political power, what passes for civil society in Wales is rooted here, it gets a disproportionate amount of investment, and it’s richer than most of the country.
But step away from the parochial framing and it becomes obvious that Cardiff has been let down by 12 years of Tory rule at Westminster just as much as everywhere else in Wales.
Whether you’re looking at job quality, incomes, childcare, housing or transport - austerity and the endless squeeze on public budgets have progressively chipped away at the city’s ability to provide the most basic building blocks of a good life.
