Thank you for that answer, First Minister. It's clear to me that the Welsh Government continues to deliver on its promises for my constituents, and yet we also know that far more could be achieved had we not suffered a decade of Tory cuts to our budgets. Yet, in recent weeks, we've heard those competing to be the next Tory leader suggest a series of spending commitments around infrastructure, public services, policing, and tax cuts for the wealthy. Can the First Minister tell us if any of these funding promises from the Tory magic money tree has yet been promised to Wales? And isn't it now clear to everyone that those Tory cuts were, and always have been, a matter of political choice, and not an economic necessity?
