Responding to Liz Truss’ Conservative Party conference speech, Welsh Liberal Democrat Leader Jane Dodds MS said:
“The Conservative Party conference has been a disaster for families and the economy. Liz Truss has only managed to add to the sense of failure with her speech.
“The Conservatives have lost control of the economy and this has led to eye-watering mortgage payments, soaring rates of inflation and an ever-deepening cost-of-living emergency.
“Liz Truss talks about growth but seems unable to talk about how the Conservative Party prioritising London and the South East has led to years of stagnation in places like Wales. A prime example is how the Conservatives refuse to release the £5 billion of consequential funding from HS2 that could be used to drastically improve our public transport networks.
“Liz Truss is out of touch and doesn’t seem to care about the damage her government is causing the country. The only way to solve this crisis is to get the Conservatives out of power.”
