Thank you very much, Trefnydd, for your answers. The problem with this issue is that we don't have the tools here in the Senedd to deal with it. I very much hope that the First Minister, when Liz Truss does phone him eventually, says clearly to her, and to Keir Starmer, that we need to devolve justice to Wales to get to the core of these issues. I also hope that he will take the opportunity to tell the Prime Minister that the Public Order Bill, which prevents legal protests, is a disgrace. I'm sure, Trefnydd, that you would agree with me that it's important for all of us as politicians to listen when people do protest—what is the core reason for the protest—rather than trying to stop protests from happening in the first place.
