Jo Stevens plays down first minister benefits spat

A UK government minister has insisted she gets on well with Eluned Morgan despite a public spat over plans to cut disability and sickness benefits.

Earlier this month the Welsh first minister publicly rebuked Labour's Welsh Secretary Jo Stevens for saying she welcomed the chancellor's cuts.

Stevens said the relationship between her and the first minister was "very good", and said Morgan had been clear in agreeing for the need for welfare reform.

The Welsh government declined to comment.
