Tories want apology over Wales Office Budget tweet
Briefly

The Welsh Secretary Jo Stevens is under scrutiny for allegedly politicizing civil servants after a post on the Wales Office's X account claimed the UK government's recent Budget had 'delivered for Wales for the first time in a generation.' The Conservatives, led by Mims Davies, have called for an apology and raised concerns about the use of taxpayer-funded resources for political messaging. The chief executive of the UK Government Communication Service acknowledged the wording of the post could have been improved. Previous complaints had also been raised concerning Jo Stevens' social media activities.
Mims Davies stated that taxpayer-funded resources should not be misappropriated for party political messages, seeking an investigation into Jo Stevens' conduct.
Simon Baugh acknowledged that the Wales Office's post could have been better phrased, emphasizing the need for compliance with the Civil Service Code.
