The UK Government must stop wasting the taxes of hard-working taxpayers and instead concentrate on ensuring that large multinationals pay their fair share. They should scrap HS2 and invest in infrastructure projects that truly benefit the UK, such as ultrafast broadband and universal mobile coverage.

The Welsh Government need to learn from past mistakes. They need to deliver a long-term economic policy designed around a low-tax economy and more proportionate business regulation, rather than pursuing an anti-business agenda. Every person in Wales and, indeed, the UK has a basic right and a human right to have a roof over their head and this is not the case and this is what I will fight to change.

Both Governments must work together for the sake and benefit of Wales rather than continue to blame each other and do nothing about it. You are both to blame and you both have the tools to fix our economy, and it's time you put the people of Wales before party politics.
