Diolch yn fawr iawn, Diprwy Lywydd. I'm afraid this budget is a bit of a missed opportunity and it's a bit of a double whammy too. It's a missed opportunity for a new, more dynamic, radical change of direction by a Labour Welsh Government, and it's set against a backdrop of a decade and more of deep cuts from an uncaring Conservative UK Government.

On the scale of cuts that we have faced, yes, I sympathise with the Welsh Government's position going into this final budget, and, yes, I also condemn the unannounced £200 million clawback from the Treasury. But in that kind of situation of adversity, I think you need to see a Government prepared to think differently, and I'm afraid we're not seeing it nearly enough. And, of course, without a comprehensive UK budget having yet been issued, it's still rather difficult to make changes to the final budget; I admit that. It's more crystal ball than red briefcase when it comes to trying to predict the actual Welsh budget for 2020-21. But even in that unsatisfactory context, I've no doubt that Welsh Government had the scope to think differently.

The Government says this is a budget to build a more prosperous, more equal and greener Wales, but for that kind of national building project to take place, you need firm foundations and a clear plan to guide you, and we don't see enough evidence of either. Into detail, then.
