The Prime Minister is in Wales today on his "listening tour", during which he's chatting to people about the cost of living. 👂💷 While some political figures welcome Andy Burnham's visit, others aren't so impressed.
Liberal Democrat spokesperson for Wales, David Chadwick, has argued that "Wales doesn’t need another Labour listening exercise, Wales needs action”.
The MP for Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe added: “Labour ran Wales for 26 years until May. In that time, wages remained the lowest of the UK nations, child poverty was the highest, and Labour utterly failed to build the prosperous Welsh economy it repeatedly promised.
“If AndyBurnham is serious about easing the burden on Welsh families, his Government must deliver: fixing our broken energy market, standing up for our farmers, properly funding rural services and giving Wales its fair share of infrastructure investment.”
