"Let us have some reality. Today, inflation hit 3.6%, the highest across the G7. This UK Labour Government have a glossy shine on their so-called industrial strategy, but it is simply proving that their actions and ethos deliver only worse outcomes for Wales. Businesses across Wales are now facing a …..." Mims Davies - View Speech
"I am always happy to praise the hon. Gentleman. The last time we had a chat he called me a very rude woman, so I have some making up to do—I hope that is exactly what he is pleased about. Of course, it is really important to have trailblazers, and …..." Mims Davies - View Speech
"I think the same goes for all parties. Obviously, MPs’ diaries have different challenges and commitments. I am delighted that my right hon.
