No, it’s not silly. They’d carry more weight if he actually lived in Wales if he’s going to criticise what we’ve done within Wales. I think that’s perfectly fair—perfectly fair.

As far as he says there’s no detail here, well, free childcare for working parents, the detail is there; the development bank, the detail’s there; the reduced taxes for small businesses, that detail is there; the treatment fund; the capital limit; the action to train GPs; the apprenticeships; the school standards; the infrastructure commission; the metro; the M4. These are not vague words, these are policies that we are determined to take forward to improve the lives of the people of Wales. There is a budget yet to come before this Assembly, and there is legislation that is yet to come before this Assembly as well.

Is he saying that we get rid of nitrate-vulnerable zones? Because, I tell you what, there are many people in Wales who’d be very concerned at that and what it would mean for the rivers and what it would mean for some of our estuaries, particularly. They’re there for a reason, they’re not there to try and do something that has no sense at all. They’re there for a reason in terms of protecting our environment.

I have to say to him: he talks about health and social services; we are doing that. He will know that the last Assembly saw legislation looking at strengthening social services and enabling social services to work more closely with health. If he looks at the legislation that’s been passed here over the past—well, since we’ve had the powers in 2011—he will see that these are issues that we have addressed and will continue to address as part of the legislative programme going forward for this year and beyond. He will see that what we have put in this programme for government will lead to the promises that we have made being delivered on. It is the easiest thing in the world to make wild promises that are uncosted and then find you can’t deliver on them; we resisted that in the election and we resist it now, because the people of Wales know that what we say we will do, we’ll do.
