  • The Welsh Liberal Democrats have attacked the Welsh Conservatives plans to cut income tax in Wales, stating they have not learnt the lessons from Liz Truss's ill-fated premiership where unfunded tax cuts crashed the economy, describing the plans as the "Ghost of Liz Truss"

Commenting, Welsh Liberal Democrat Leader Jane Dodds MS said:

"The Welsh Conservatives have very clearly shown today they have not learnt any lessons from Liz Truss's disastrous stint as Prime Minister. 

"They are also not being honest with the Welsh Public, the only way they could afford these tax cuts would be to make sweeping cuts to our already struggling public services. 

“It is this sort of economic recklessness that is causing former Conservatives to abandon the party in droves and find a new home in the Liberal Democrats.”
