Following today's UK Government budget announcement and its implications for Wales, Cabinet Minister for Finance Elin Jones said: “This is a real-terms cut dressed up as a windfall. The UK Government will try to present today's budget as a win for Wales. It isn't."

£450m over three years sounds impressive until you look at the detail. Wales would have needed a further £350m in 2027-28 alone just to avoid a real-terms cut to day-to-day spending. This underwhelming Budget delivers the worst funding settlement for Wales in years.

Amidst a challenging global environment, this budget is about protecting your pocket and building a stronger Wales in a Stronger Britain. We’re giving £450 million in extra spending power to the Welsh Government to fund public services like the NHS. (1/2)

A Notes App style graphic: "- A real-terms cut to Wales’ budget Rising costs mean Wales will have less money to spend on vital public services. - No meaningful investment in rail Labour promised £14billion, yet this Budget delivers just £30million - that’s just 0.2%! - Poor cost of living support With energy bills set to rise by 27% in the new year, the support doesn’t go far enough. Wales faces some of the highest electricity charges in Britain!"

We commissioned that report Helen, and changed our disciplinary rules and standards because of it. If you think Reform would come out of the same process looking better, then get it done. Until you do, your whataboutery is just that.

3 years ago, Plaid were found to have a culture of harassment, bullying and misogyny in the party. A former Plaid MS was charged with making indecent images of children. So will we take lectures from them? Will we hell.
