Leanne, thanks for giving way. You make some good points about the need for Wales to be a self-confident, forward-looking nation, and I don’t disagree with you there, but you do have to accept that there has been significant progress made on many of the areas you’ve mentioned. You mention electrification, but this afternoon we’ve been talking about tax devolution—that’s happening. The Welsh Government have worked very hard to deliver a fiscal framework. So, I appreciate you’re not happy with this deal in Westminster—you want more—but you must respect that, under the previous Government, there have been changes we should welcome.
