I don't believe this budget meets the needs of Wales. This is another budget with a Government just moving money around. This is also a Government content—and in fact, a Labour Party in Wales content—to leave the major decisions made about Wales to politicians elected in England in the Westminster Parliament. 

What we then have here is a Labour Government using Westminster, and in particular Conservative politicians, almost like a get out of jail card in the blame game, because you guys don't want the power, you don't want the responsibility to actually change Wales, yet you're content to blame the Conservatives in Westminster.

I'll declare an interest here now as a county councillor, because I really feel that local government is treated badly—badly by this Government in Wales. There's huge pressure on councils. Real cuts. Real youth centres closing, real jobs being lost. I apologise to Labour AMs looking at their mobile phones and not listening to this debate. Perhaps, Llywydd, we could have a little bit more politeness in this Chamber.
