What Mr Mogg doesn't acknowledge (or perhaps realise) is that
@WelshGovernment
measures re people coming to
#Wales
from
#England
are EXACTLY the same as those that exist BETWEEN some authorities in Wales. So his analogy of an "unconstitutional border" is, with respect, incorrect.
"I'm afraid that is what you get when you vote for socialists"
Commons leader and Conservative MP Jacob Rees Mogg says the Welsh government has created an "unconstitutional" border between England and Wales with its plans for a Covid travel ban
