Net migration into the UK hit a record 906,000 in the year to June 2023, much higher than previously thought, official figures show.

Plaid’s Rhun ap Iorwerth said Sir Keir Starmer will be the next prime minister and he should lift the “cruel” policy.Welsh Labour leader Vaughan Gething said Sir Keir would “review” the benefits system and, for the Conservatives, Welsh Secretary David TC Davies said the welfare bill had “to come down”.

Reform UK’s Oliver Lewis said his party "won't cut welfare".The two-child cap, which was introduced in 2017, restricts child tax credit and universal credit to the first two children in most households.It means families cannot claim about £3,200 a year per extra child, the Resolution Foundation think tank has said.

Jane Dodds is leader of the Welsh Liberal Democrats, and their sole Senedd member.She told the studio audience, in Cardiff, that the price of fuel and food had gone up “twenty-five per cent in the last two years".

“One of the big factors is that here in Wales, 29% of our children are poor, 29% child poverty.

"And my challenge to the Conservatives and to Labour, if they're in power, is will you abolish the two child cap on our benefits because that is making our families poorer?"They are also impacted by predators.

Ms Colwell said the event on Monday will coincide with the charity's work to "spread the word, spread education and spread awareness" of the importance of protecting the endangered species."We'll draw attention to the plight of this lovely bird and people can see how wonderful it is."

She added that "everybody has a role to play" in protecting the birds.The event to mark World Curlew Day begins at 16:00 BST at Lansdown Hall.
