Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. I'd like to thank the Members and the Minister who contributed to this debate. Today, we've heard lots of stats, figures and accounts that set out the terrifying scale of the cost-of-living crisis, but none of this can truly capture or describe the impact of this deprivation and destitution on those who are experiencing it. More than four in 10 Welsh adults—that's 43 per cent of adults in Wales—have reported that their current financial position has had a negative impact on their mental health, with 30 per cent reporting that their current financial position had had a negative impact on their physical health. Poverty kills. There's no escaping that fact. And, as we head into this winter, I'm absolutely terrified—terrified—knowing what people are going to be facing. Good people. People who do not deserve this. The people I grew up with. The people I care about. Can any of us—any of us—really say that we are representing the people if we do not move mountains to solve this crisis? 

We must act swiftly and radically, and that's why we won't be supporting the amendments tabled by both the Government and the Tories. To be frank, they are no more than self-congratulatory amendments. But here's the reality: patting yourselves on the back just doesn't cut the mustard, because even with all that's being introduced and being done, people are still struggling. Constituents are coming to us daily. One of my constituents had this to say: 'I worked and I worked and I worked throughout the pandemic. The bonus got paid to me as a wage. I lost all of my universal credit. What little of the bonus that was left over has been obliterated by the shocking cost of petrol and food, and all so that I can just keep on working to keep on surviving.' Another: 'We're care workers. We got the social care bonus payment. For us that meant £800 taken from our universal credit and our council tax support stopped. We still have no food, no money, no electricity. We work so hard to take care of people. Is this what help is meant to look like?'

Looking ahead to Friday, it's going to be a point in time for so many—a point in time where they get some peace of mind or nothing at all. And I have to say, I'm not filled with confidence for next Friday. It seems that all we're going to get is the same old free market, liberal economic rubbish that we've always had from that side of the Chamber, which does nothing—absolutely nothing—for working-class people. [Interruption.] Go on.
