Tories' Trump trip means Labour to win budget vote
Briefly

The Welsh government is expected to gain approval for its draft budget due to the absence of Conservative leaders attending a significant prayer meeting in the U.S. This absence raises concerns over the Tories’ dedication to their role in opposition. With Labour controlling half of the Senedd seats, their ability to unite against the government is crucial. Critics, including Plaid Cymru and Reform Wales, have expressed their disappointment in the Conservatives' decision, arguing it shows a lack of commitment to Wales. The budget vote will take place despite ongoing criticisms from the Tories.
The Conservatives' absence from the crucial budget vote has raised questions about their commitment as an opposition party, particularly criticizing their choice to attend an event in the U.S.
