It is clear that the UK wishes to plough ahead and intentionally break international agreements, whilst simultaneously hiding the Bill's true intent, to attempt to take back control of this democratic place, but with a new ability to top-slice the budget of Wales for Tory priorities. What would this mean for the programme of government that the people of Wales have democratically elected this Government to carry out on their behalf? Would he agree with me that this demands renewed concern around the distribution of the shared prosperity fund and is, at its heart, an attack on this democracy, devolution, and, Llywydd, an attack on this place?
