Senior English Tory MP says he wouldn't move to Wales

A senior Conservative MP has said he wouldn't move to Wales due to the policies of the Welsh Government. Lee Anderson, MP for Ashfield in Nottinghamshire and the deputy chair of the Conservative Party, told Tory supporters he would use Labour-led Wales as an example of "what happens when people have a Labour government."

Mr Anderson, who has previously caused controversy due to his remarks about food banks and the death penalty, was addressing the audience at a Welsh Conservative Party conference panel in Newport on the past 25 years of Labour government in Wales.

After hearing the opinions of Senedd members Mark Isherwood, Joel James and Darren Millar about Labour's record, he joked: "I was thinking about moving to Wales but after what you’ve just told me I’ll stay clear."
