Rhun ap Iorwerth referred to Welsh Government's delaying tactics, their repeated reviews rather than action, and he referred to homelessness as one example. He referred to Welsh Government setting targets lower than England and Scotland and then missing them, and about their unwillingness to learn from good practice elsewhere. 

We heard from Suzy Davies—here we are; I found the missing page—[Interruption.] We all lose our pages sometimes, even Members of the Welsh Government. We heard from Suzy Davies who focused on how Welsh Government spends the money it has to spend, rather than simply the amount. She pointed out that, yes, they do get 20 per cent, currently, more per person to spend than in England, and yet spend less on school pupils, that 45 education institutions are in special measures, the bureaucratic approach to raising standards, and referred to the sinking ship that is Labour Wales.

Michelle Brown referred to Welsh Government painting a rosy picture to conceal reality, to Welsh Government's elitist 'we know best' attitude, to Labour only clinging to Government by giving roles to two non-Labour Assembly Members, and to Labour's disrespect for the electorate. 

Mohammad Asghar noted that key performance targets were not being met and that performance had deteriorated in key areas. And he referred again to the failure by successive Welsh Governments to build affordable and council homes, not over five or 10 years, but over two decades.

If I come to Rhianon Passmore—can I thank Rhianon for not giving a shouty speech, although the content was fairly similar? She described facts as flaws, she referred to austerity, so let's hope that the next time a Labour Government thinks it can break the economic cycle, and impose pressure on the regulators in finance to go light-touch, they remember the pain that that will cause successive generations. She referred to the increase in employment in Wales since 2010 when the UK Government came into power after Wales lagging for years and years prior to that, and she referred to the weakening of financial regulations. Well, if you read the successive reports following the financial crash, as I have, you will know that those identify Messrs Blair, Brown and Balls as being the great financial deregulators whose political interference—[Interruption.]—read the report—led to the banking crash, despite being warned years in advance that if they didn't take action, this would be the consequence.

Andrew R.T. Davies talked about missed opportunities and pupils only getting one chance, and that it's no good having shiny new buildings if the outcomes haven't done better. And he referred to 36-week waiting times in the NHS in 2009 being zero, now in their thousands.

The leader of the house, speaking for the Welsh Government, gave what sounded like a very good Welsh Labour conference speech, but she dodged the key political choices taken by almost 20 years of Labour and Labour-led Welsh Government, which have led to the failures outlined in this debate. She referred to the £850 million more that we'd have for front-line services if the money hadn't all gone and the UK's credit line been threatened with closure in 2010. She made reference to the UK Government's apparent non-contribution to Wales—well, they delivered the funding floor to the formula that ensures that Wales gets more per head than in England, they delivered almost £0.75 billion for the city and growth deals in Wales—we're still waiting to hear from the Welsh Government over north Wales—and they provided £10 million for the compound semiconductor applications project in Cardiff, £82 million for a defence contract in Denbighshire, and they're pumping millions into RAF Sealand, by centring the F-35 programme there.

So, let's look at some factual statistics in the time left to us. From recent official reports, Wales is the least productive nation in the UK. Poverty and deprivation are higher in Wales than in any other nation in Britain. Median hourly earnings in Wales are lower than England and Scotland. Average earnings in Wales are lower and have grown slower than in other UK nations. Wales has the lowest long-term pay growth among the nations of the UK. Wales has a higher relative income poverty rate than England, Northern Ireland and Scotland, a higher proportion of working adults in poverty than any other UK nation, and a pensioner poverty rate in Wales far higher than in any other UK nation. Wales is suffering from one of the worst Governments endured by any part of the United Kingdom since the arrival of the universal franchise. Not only that—one of the most reactionary Governments, whose only action is to react against the UK Government and whose only policy is to blame the UK Government for its own serious and successive failures over far too long, fanning the flames of public confusion over their responsibility for the mess we're in and adding to the lack of public accountability that has kept them in place for so long, and so much pain.
