Thank you, Joyce, and I absolutely agree with you there, and I've said many times in this Chamber that austerity needs to end, and that comes directly from London.

Carrying on, I'm not willing either, Llywydd, to see the North Wales region suffer, and the impact of north Wales on the Welsh economy cannot be and should not be underestimated. We in north Wales have got a higher employment rate, lower economic inactivity levels, gross value added per head higher than the rest of Wales, and gross disposable household income per head higher than the rest of Wales.

The Government last week was absolutely right to use the time on Tuesday to deliver a series of statements on the impact of a 'no deal' Brexit, and I saw some people on social media, including some journalists, saying that that was a pointless exercise. I do not believe them. It is also very important to listen to experts in these turbulent times, and I find it completely irresponsible to shrug our shoulders, not report on and disregard warnings from companies such as Airbus in my own constituency, who have warned time and time again about the need for a deal.

I will finish my contribution today by saying that I do believe there is a deal to be struck in Parliament and the Prime Minister will find her job a lot easier if she ruled out a 'no deal' completely. She could, and she should, have done that a long, long time ago. Llywydd, political game playing will do nothing to improve the lives of those people who are just about managing, as the Prime Minister likes to say. Members of the Chamber, I will finish on this final comment: the people of Wales and the people of the UK deserve so much better.
