Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer, and can I also start with a tribute to you? As a neighbouring constituency Member of the Senedd, I've seen first-hand just how hard you work for your constituents, and it will be a great loss to them when you step down. You're tenacious; you're a great political campaigner. In fact, you and I have gotten into trouble with our own parties for campaigning sometimes for issues on the same side of the argument, but it's been a pleasure to work with you, and you've been a superb travelling companion as well on many a journey up and down on the train between north and south Wales.

Can I turn to the subject of this debate, the Labour Party's failures over the past 20 years? I thought the Minister tried to do a decent job of it, but it's very difficult to do a decent job of it when you've got such an atrocious record in Government. For the past 20 years, the Labour Party and their little helpers in Plaid Cymru and the Liberal Democrats have absolutely ruined large parts of Wales's public services and our economy. We have seen, of course, those failures, which are very evident still, in our national health service, in spite of the tremendous work that they've done in responding to the pandemic. We have a national health service that was in crisis prior to March of last year. A recruitment crisis still exists in our national health service—something that you guys have been responsible for for over 20 years. We know that waiting times are absolutely out of control; we know that target times for people getting in and out of our emergency departments have never been met; and, of course, I want to remind you and those people watching this debate that, yet again, the Welsh Labour Government is the only Government ever in the history of the United Kingdom that's cut an NHS budget—something that I don't think is a very proud record to be standing on. And then, of course, there's Betsi, in my own backyard, languishing in special measures for the longest time of any NHS organisation in history and still with problems that are yet to be resolved.

If you look at education, people have already made reference to the fact that Wales has the worst performing education system in the whole of the United Kingdom, as far as the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's Programme for International Student Assessment tests are concerned. And it's not only the worst in the United Kingdom, it's the only nation in the United Kingdom that is in the bottom half of the OECD league tables—that's not a record to be proud of. And it's not surprising, really, given the funding gap per pupil between England and Wales that your Government has presided over. 

And then, on our economy, we do have a Minister—I know he hates being reminded of this, but we do have a Minister in the economy department who said that the Welsh Government didn't have a clue what it was doing when it came to the economy, and he was absolutely right. I can see him holding his head in his hands, and he's absolutely right to do that. We despair along with you, Lee Waters, at the state of our economy here in Wales after two decades and more of Labour—
