Rishi Sunak says the people of Wales are 'guinea pigs in Labour's socialist experiment'

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has used his speech at the Welsh Conservative Party conference to attack the Welsh Government and suggested he did not want to devolve more powers.

Mr Sunak said that it was a "scary thought" that Keir Starmer wanted to use Welsh Labour's governance of Wales as a blueprint for if he got into Downing Street. Speaking to a half empty conference hall at the ICC in Newport the Prime Minister said that the "people of Wales don't want to be a guinea pig in Labour's socialist experiment".

He said: "The people of Wales don't want to be guinea pigs for Labour's socialist agenda. Rather, they want a government that will deliver on their priorities - and that is what we will do. My priorities are your priorities. They are to halve inflation, grow the economy, reduce debt, cut waiting lists and stop the boats. These are the people's priorities right across the UK, whether you live in Newcastle or here in Newport.
