You know what, Lee? Standing up for Wales means responding to a threat like that and saying, 'Bring it on', because I'm standing up for Wales, all right? [Interruption.] Wales's frozen powers are frozen by law. This trust in a UK Tory Government is a political convention. It's not a law at all. We have Labour AM after Labour AM in recent weeks laying into the UK Tory Government about how they cannot be trusted on women's pensions, on welfare reform, on reorganising Department for Work and Pensions offices, now, yet, all of a sudden, the UK Government can be trusted with powers that we have always had here, and now no longer will have.
