General election: Tories to blame for NHS faults – Nick Thomas-Symonds

Mr Thomas-Symonds added that, if Labour were to a win a majority in Westminster, the government would be “demanding” of the devolved administrations, including the Labour-run Welsh government.

“That will mean that you have a constructive relationship,” he said.

“You won’t have a government at Westminster anymore, that is constantly trying to undermine the devolved settlement.”

However, Mr Thomas-Symonds said he could make no promises on Wales being allocated extra funding due to spending on HS2 in England.

Welsh ministers have claimed Wales has missed out on billions of pounds of funding due to HS2 being designated an “England and Wales” scheme by the UK Treasury – despite it not crossing the border.

“I can’t sit here and make promises of things that I can’t cost that I can’t say to you where the money is coming from,” said Mr Thomas-Symonds.

“That’s the approach that, frankly, got Liz Truss into such a mess and for which people up and down Wales are still paying the cost.”

You can watch Nick Thomas-Symonds’ full interview online and on BBC One Wales at 19:00 BST on Tuesday.

David TC Davies, the Conservative Welsh Secretary, will be interviewed on Thursday, representatives of Reform UK and the Liberal Democrats on Friday and Plaid Cymru leader Rhun ap Iorwerth on Monday.
