Welsh Secretary hits out at 'power obsessed' First Minister

Carwyn Jones is power-obsessed and spends most of his time seeking to divide the UK, Welsh Secretary Alun Cairns has claimed.

The Conservative frontbencher hit out at the First Minister as he advised his own party to not "devolve and forget" but "come together" to support the UK Government's Brexit strategy.

Mr Cairns, speaking at the Tory party conference in Manchester, said Labour in Wales is "pursuing an agenda" which aims to "derail" Brexit despite a majority of Welsh voters backing Leave at the 2016 EU referendum.

Labour hit back at the claims saying his speech was a "perfect distillation everything that's wrong with the Tories and their attitude to Wales."
