SENEDD parties clashed at First Minister Questions today over general election manifesto commitments for Wales.
The spats followed an interview shadow secretary of state for Wales Jo Stevens had given on Tuesday where she dismissed devolution of criminal justice as “tinkering” and wrongly claimed the high-speed rail project HS2 had finished when asked about consequential funding for Wales.
Plaid Cymru’s Heledd Fychan was standing in for party leader Rhun ap Iorwerth and asked Vaughan Gething about Ms Stevens’s interview, which was completely “at odds with what you have said to us today.”
