Dirprwy Llywydd, I think Dai Rees has said it all. The damage caused by austerity to the social fabric of our communities harms us all. I've become tired of hearing Tory voices in this Chamber calling on the Welsh Government to invest more in our services, yet we never hear those same voices raise any condemnation over the £1 billion or more that their Government has cut from our budget. Never do we hear expressions of outrage at the billions—yes, that's billions—to be removed by welfare cuts. 

And while we talk of austerity, let's remember that that is a political choice, and for austerity let's read 'Tory cuts'—Tory cuts to our Valleys communities, Tory cuts harming the future of our children, Tory cuts hitting the most vulnerable, Tory cuts to public services that sit at the very heart of the well-being of so many Valleys communities. And those are the reasons why I'll stand alongside Dai Rees and all my Welsh Labour colleagues here and in Westminster to argue that there is a better way—a better way to build a community for the many and not the few, a better way to build a community that believes in public services and invest in the infrastructure that we all need to bring prosperity and cohesion back to our Valleys.
