So, on those new foundations, Anglesey council was free to team up with Stena to put a bid together. They had my full support. The bid itself is about bringing investment, job opportunities, encouraging entrepreneurship on the island and across the north, and it's important that councils across the north are all supporting it. So, across the region, across party lines too, this new made-in-Wales prospectus has been able to bring people together.

Skills are vital: Bangor University, Coleg Llandrillo Menai are very much a part of it. It's also mitigation on the Brexit front. It won't undo the damage of Brexit, but by creating new economic activity in the port of Holyhead, it can be a means to address the post-Brexit downturn in trade through the ports. And there are wider benefits to investing in encouraging traffic to return to the land bridge, including in environmental terms.

And the environment of course is at the heart of the bid. I want the port of Holyhead to be the hub for the next generation of Irish sea wind generation. This could be a boost for that, done well. And I look beyond the north too. There is a chance here to elevate Wales's ambitions in renewables as a whole, in a more joined-up way. I've reflected on a number of occasions in this Senedd on the potential benefits of having two free ports, looking along the same green energy lines. But I do think the Holyhead, Ynys Môn, north Wales bid does stand out.

There is no single silver bullet when it comes to economic regeneration. Anybody suggesting that free ports are the answer to all our ills are wrong, and I'm hearing far too much of that, frankly, this afternoon. Of course the Conservatives are branding this as a key part of the levelling-up agenda. I know they're desperate to hide the fact that Conservative economic policy does nothing other than to level down for everybody. And we have to put the £26 million too in the context of the hundreds of millions that have been lost to communities like mine, and the rest of the UK, because of the Conservatives' misguided policies and their Brexit lies.

But I believe that by working carefully, we can benefit from using all the variety of economic tools at our disposal. The recent announcement of the 2 Sisters Food Group closure consultation is yet another stark reminder of the challenges we face, and that's why I'm wishing Anglesey council and Stena all the best with their bid on our behalf.
