Part of 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:46 pm on 21 May 2019.
Diolch, Llywydd. First Minister, life expectancy in Wales is falling faster than in any other nation in Europe. We're the only country in these islands where child poverty is rising, and in the first three months of this year, we were the only part of the UK where unemployment increased. A month ago, at the Labour Party conference, the general secretary of the Welsh Labour Party said that
'Wales is better placed than any other part of the UK to deal with Brexit'.
How can that be true when Wales, under your leadership, is doing so badly even before Brexit has begun?
