In recent weeks, I have watched as the Government has undermined Britain’s economic credibility & fractured our Party irreparably.
Enough is enough.
I have written to the Prime Minister to ask her to stand down as she no longer holds the confidence of this country.

Mark Drakeford’s refusal to hold an inquiry has let down those who have lost loved ones across Wales.
In Parliament, I have continuously called for a Wales-only Covid inquiry.
Welsh Labour want more power without accountability.
According to Mark Drakeford, there is no need for a Wales-specific Covid inquiry as the 'world has moved on'.
The families of those who have lost loved ones most certainly have not, they deserve answers.
