Part of 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 2:11 pm on 15 November 2022.
I'm truly glad to hear that Welsh Government has laid out its priorities in advance of the autumn statement. We know, as a matter of fact, from our constituents, from our local authorities and our third sector that mark 1 Conservative austerity tore the guts out of local government and has imperilled the continuation of the third sector, despite the best efforts of our local authority colleagues and despite the best efforts of volunteers and the voluntary sector out there. What reason on earth would we have to believe that Conservative austerity mark 2 would fare any better for the people of Wales and the public services on which they rely?
