Labour First Minister, Eluned Morgan has stated that she is worried Sir Keir Starmer’s migration plans will damage Wales on the BBC’s Political Thinking with Nick Robinson.

The Welsh Conservatives have argued that the First Minister should instead be telling the Prime Minister that we need tougher action to get immigration down, capping numbers and deporting those here illegally.

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

“People across Wales are rightly concerned about immigration so they will be unimpressed by the First Minister's comments.

“Instead of trying to distance herself from Keir Starmer by telling him his immigration plans are damaging to Wales, she should be standing up for people here in Wales by telling the Prime Minister to take tougher action to get immigration down by introducing a cap on numbers, and deporting all foreign criminals, including those who arrive here illegally.

“Fabricating rows between Labour in Wales and Labour in Westminster due to recent polls isn't fooling anyone.”
