00:00Devolution in Wales was very, very contentious back in the 1990s.
00:04It literally passed by a cigarette paper of 7,000 votes.
00:08There was no widespread, huge public demand.
00:12Only one in four people in Wales voted for it.
00:14That was a quarter of a century ago.
00:16There are some people today who are very disillusioned with devolution.
00:21What they're disillusioned with is the failure of Labour over 26 years.
00:30It makes devolution work.
00:33If you listen very carefully to what Laura Ann said up at our conference at the weekend,
00:39she said, yeah, some people don't like it.
00:41They think it's failing.
00:42Our job, our job, our aim and our ambition is to win those elections next May
00:48and to make devolution work.
00:49And you will not hear a word from me about abolishing the Assembly,
00:53about getting rid of the Senate.
00:55There are one or two voices that still think that.
00:57I think we have to accept the facts of life as they are.
01:00It's happened.
