The most damaging impact has been Conservatives in the UK Government not standing up for Wales, and I believe in Wales and I believe in the future of Wales, and I do not accept that. We have seen evidence from different researchers showing that that is not the case, and also we have seen that we were told that all this money would come in to Wales that never materialised post Brexit. So, I don't accept that. 

One of the things, if I focus on the Welsh Government's actual budget today—. I am pleased that we're working in co-operation, as has been outlined by Llyr. I'm not going to apologise for the fact that more children are benefiting from free school meals because we're co-operating. I'm not going to apologise for the fact that families are benefiting from free childcare. There are so many things that we've been able to co-operate on that have made a difference to the lives of people in our communities now—not in the future, but now: money in people's pockets now; food in children's stomachs now. But one of the things that I am pleased that we have at least agreed in terms of prioritised areas has been in terms of increasing the education maintenance allowance, extending eligibility for free school meals to secondary school and, of course, extending the bus emergency scheme. And I think we do need, all, to be united across this Chamber, to be fighting for that additional funding to make that a reality here in Wales.

A key issue of concern in this budget for a number of my constituents has been the end of the bus emergency scheme, and this is despite assurances being given that funding would remain unchanged, which was corroborated by ministerial evidence submitted on the draft budget, but we now know that that won't be the case. As a result, the future of many bus routes in my region and beyond are now in jeopardy, meaning people are worried about how they will access essential services, as well as employment opportunities, especially in those areas of my region where buses are the only transport option and where car ownership is low. I do think we really do need to prioritise this and see how we are going to support people living in our community now. 

In terms of what has been secured, I'm really pleased, in terms of the Welsh language funding, to see the additional £1 million of revenue for next year, and also free entry to the Urdd Eisteddfod for low-income families. I'm really pleased to see that. But, obviously, one of the key concerns, if I look at the portfolio areas in terms of culture and sport, Llyr Gruffydd mentioned in terms of the importance of the preventative agenda, what we're hearing now is that because of increased costs we are going to see, perhaps, swimming pools close, sports facilities close, arts centres close—all of those that are so essential in terms of the health and well-being agenda. I see in this budget many areas that are still operating in silos when we have the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015. As we work for future areas and years through this Senedd term, I think we do need to look at that holistic approach to ensure that we are providing the best possible start to everybody and ensuring that opportunities such as those with culture and sport aren't taken away from those that desperately need them.
