Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 3:02 pm on 27 September 2022.
Minister, this week, the people of Wales watched the UK Chancellor hand grotesquely unfair and, I would say, immoral tax cuts to the super rich; uncap the bonuses for bankers; protect the profits of big energy companies; lose control of sterling, which has plummeted off a cliff; increase both the debt and the cost of debt to the UK; load those costs onto ours and to future generations; increase the cost of imports; increase the risk of household mortgages and borrowing costs, rising way beyond affordability and crippling households into the spring; and add frightening new costs above and beyond the existing Conservative cost-of-living crisis to families, business and public services up and down the land. Would you agree with me, Minister, that this is not time for the 1922 committee to respond to letters calling for a change of leader of the Tory party; it's time for a general election and a change to a Government of sound economic competence, to a UK Labour Government?
