Welsh Conservative Senedd Leader Andrew RT Davies MS today (March 9) tackled the First Minister over comments made by the one of his Cabinet that “… if you give people an inch, they’ll take a mile”. Mr Davies was referring to a comment made by the Mental Health and Wellbeing Minister over paths to easing lockdown.
Mr Davies said:
“The overwhelming number of people in Wales have worked damned hard over these last months, abiding by the rules to get our country back on its feet and out of lockdown, and for a Labour Minister to so casually dismiss their hard work is a real kick in the teeth.
“But people need some hope, and with the three-week review on Friday, it’s high time that he and his Cabinet gave people some – based on data and dates – hope for the future. And this is because as much as our fantastic NHS staff and others have rolled out the vaccine and done so much besides, it is the people of Wales that have contributed so much to make an end to lockdown possible.
“We remain the only place in the UK where the press gets addressed before parliament and that’s unacceptable. Indeed, we are the only one still conducting democracy via desktop. It’s not good enough and the First Minister must provide a full roadmap to recovery which families, workers, and businesses in Wales so badly needs.”
