Comments from the First Minister on the two-child benefit cap has exposed deep divisions within the Labour Party, raising serious questions about their ability to govern effectively and deliver for both Wales and the UK.

Commenting, Leader of the Welsh Conservatives and Clwyd West MS Darren Millar MS, said:

“Labour promised that having two governments working at either side of the M4 would deliver for Wales, but all we’ve seen is a party at war with itself and a First Minister who clearly holds no sway with the Prime Minister. 

"The reality is that eliminating the two-child benefit cap would come at a financial cost, ultimately borne by hardworking taxpayers. While the state should always support the most vulnerable, any extra costs must be weighed against the principle of fairness for the taxpayer."
