Thank you, Deputy Llywydd. I wish to thank the Welsh Conservatives for bringing today's debate to the Senedd, and, if I may, I will take this opportunity to express my heartfelt thanks to the residents of Islwyn within Caerphilly County Borough Council for their compliance and the very real sacrifices being made. I also wish to thank and pay tribute to Councillor Philippa Marsden and her leadership team during this ongoing crisis.

Deputy Llywydd, answering the leader of Plaid Cymru yesterday, the First Minister expressed the Welsh Government's willingness to listen to any constructive comments on how we can best prevent the spread of the C-19 virus, and I would like to strongly welcome these comments. This pandemic is undoubtedly, notwithstanding impacts of a 'no deal' exit, the greatest threat we have collectively faced in generations, and constructive contributions around how we can respond best should be listened to.

However, it has been obvious since the start of this crisis that the Welsh Conservative policy is simply a carbon copy of their Conservative bosses' in Westminster, and, while the shambles caused by Boris Johnson and Dominic Cummings is plain for most of us to see, the leader of the opposition has called for Wales to have 'a dose of Dom'. I'm not sure what our Tories opposite have been watching, but perhaps an eye test at Barnard Castle is in order.

I would like to strongly welcome these comments from the Welsh Government, and I, for one, am glad that this Welsh Labour Government does believe in devolution and has been unafraid to take a different path. Indeed, just a matter of days ago, despite all their resources, the Tory UK Government was calling for people to return to their offices and go back to normal. Indeed, the Prime Minister also promised us a world-beating test and trace system, but figures from earlier this month show that our system here in Wales is reaching more people and working significantly better than England's. Indeed, when Wales added Portugal and several Greek islands to the quarantine list, the Tories were quick to criticise this, and I've heard no outcry when the UK Government made a similar decision a few days later.

At every moment when policy here in Wales has diverged from England, this has drawn criticism from the Welsh Conservatives. After 21 years, now, of devolution, you would have thought they'd be used to that by now, but we know from the very recent comments of Alun Cairns that devolution and the attempted withdrawal of the Senedd jurisdiction as proposed in the internal markets Bill is their true belief, mindset and agenda.

We must continue with the agile, as-needed local interventions, and we must do everything possible to avoid a second national lockdown. And as we continue to learn more about this virus, we must continue to adapt flexibly in preventing its spread. Deputy Llywydd, it is right that the Welsh Government uses all its devolved functionality to meet the needs of its people, do what is best for Wales and not Whitehall, and what is best for the Welsh people, not Westminster. Welsh Government and the Welsh people should be praised, not persecuted, by Boris and Dominic for the very sensible, pragmatic, evidence-based approach that we as a proud devolved nation have chosen to take. Thank you.
