Far from being the cause of the cost of living crisis, public sector workers are its victims, like every other worker. It's not cutting their jobs, but raising their real wages—especially for the lowest paid—that surely should be the urgent focus now. So, what can we in Wales do to help make this happen?

The Senedd and the Welsh Government are both committed to paying the real living wage to every staff member. Last year, the Dyfed-Powys Police force became Wales's first police force to become an accredited real living wage employer, yet not every public sector employer in Wales has done so yet. Why not, First Minister, invite them all to the next cost of living summit, and ask them what it would take to make Wales a real living wage nation, starting with the entire public sector, or at least that part of it that we in Wales, not Westminster, have control over?
