General election: Five takeaways from the BBC Wales debate

All five politicians came to blows over the subject of immigration, after the issue was raised by an audience member.

Mr Lewis said the UK government had “failed to control our borders properly” adding that the crisis was “so serious”.

Mr ap Iorwerth said his party would have more immigration “into some sectors”. He added: “I don’t like the tone of the debate on immigration.”

He appeared to suggest Reform wanted to exploit people’s fears and anxieties on immigration.

“Don’t be ridiculous,” replied Mr Lewis.

Mr Lewis said the UK government had “failed to control our borders properly”.

Mr Davies said the UK would “always need and welcome” migration of people with specialist skills but, when asked if his party would ditch the Rwanda plan, he said no.

Mr Gething said immigration had been covered in a way which was “more divisive” than it needed to be, adding that Labour would stop the Rwanda plan and instead deal with the criminal gangs responsible for small boats crossing the channel.

Ms Dodd said it was necessary to “take the heat” out of the debate on immigration, adding that Mr Lewis’ stance on the matter was “divisive and poisonous”.
