BROKEN promises, betrayal and the Middle East were key questions as Senedd members quizzed the First Minister today.

Welsh Conservative leader Andrew Davies asked about farming anger at the Budget decision to introduce an inheritance tax on farms.

“Many thousands of farmers from Wales are going to Westminster to protest,” he said.

He told Eluned Morgan that her telling “people to calm down did not help with the feelings of betrayal.”

The First Minister paid tribute to the contribution that farmers make to the economy and cultural life of Wales.

“But we were left with a black hole,” she said about the public finances, highlighting that farmers use public services.

“The number of people who are affected by this are going to be very few,” she claimed.

Plaid Cymru leader Rhun ap Iorwerth wanted to know about the First Minister’s partnership in power with Westminster.

He said Sir Keir Starmer announced on the eve of Welsh Labour’s conference that Wales would not be getting any HS2 consequential funding.

Ms Morgan said she had raised the issue with the Prime Minister and said: “We are in discussions on how we can get more money into rail infrastructure in Wales.”

Plaid’s Peredur Owen Griffiths asked about the conflict in the Middle East and wanted to know if Ms Morgan’s government had “complied with international standards on businesses and human rights.”

The FM said: “It doesn’t look like there’s much progress in terms of settling the issue in the Middle East, but I think it is important that we stand with the sorrow and the suffering of the people in Gaza.”
