<p>Diolch yn fawr iawn, Llywydd. Reading the headlines over the past few weeks, you'd be forgiven for thinking it's a pantomime, not a budget, that we're expecting from Rachel Reeves tomorrow. It's 'Oh yes she will' one minute and 'Oh no she won't' the next. And it's all denting this UK Government's credibility. First, she was going to raise income tax, then she wasn't, was willing to break a manifesto pledge and then wasn't. And as for Wales, 'Oh yes we are'—set to be short-changed again.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Let's deal with that false claim about the so-called benevolence of this UK Government towards Wales. The Welsh Government's day-to-day spending in this UK parliamentary term will grow by 1.6 per cent per year in real terms, on average. From this financial year on, it's just 1.4 per cent. Even the last Tory Government managed 2.6 per cent—how damning is that of Labour under Starmer and Reeves? But can this First Minister tell us whether she expects that derisory settlement to be overturned tomorrow so that the next Welsh Government can start to get to grips with the problems in public services in Wales?</p>

<p>Diolch yn fawr. Yn y gwanwyn, fe ddaru Rachel Reeves, Canghellor y Trysorlys, addo y bydd aelwydydd £500 yn well eu byd, yn sgil cynlluniau'r Llywodraeth bresennol. Un ffordd glir o sichrau hynny i lawer o bobl sy'n rhentu eu cartrefi fyddai dadrewi y lwfans tai lleol yn y gyllideb nesaf. Mae rhenti wedi cynyddu'n gyflymach yng Nghymru nag yn unman arall yn y Deyrnas Unedig, cynnydd ar gyfartaledd o 9 y cant, efo'r rhenti wedi cynyddu bron 20 y cant yng Nghasnewydd, eich etholaeth chi, fel mae'n digwydd bod. Ac eto, arhosodd lefel yr help sydd ar gael i rentwyr sydd ar incwm isel yn ei unfan. Ydych chi'n cytuno y dylai Rachel Reeves adfer y cyfraddau lwfans tai i'r hanner canfed canran?</p>

<p>We're with you on that, First Minister. We, too, want to make sure that our defence industry thrives and that Wales gets the investment that it deserves as a result of the increase in the UK Government's expenditure on defence. And, of course, that defence sector shows what we can achieve because of its success in Wales to date. But, unfortunately, we also have a jobs crisis in Wales. We have a jobs crisis—the figures today demonstrate this—that shows what happens when Government policies fail to support industry and fail to support and create the right environment for growth.</p>
<p>The figures are dire. They show that Wales has the highest unemployment rate in the United Kingdom—a rate that is up by 50 per cent since Labour took office in July 2024, and that is now at a 10-year high. And it's not just the fault of Sir Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves, because the Welsh Labour Government has supported national insurance increases for employers, you've slowed our economy down with 20 mph speed limits, you've allowed excessive council tax increases to be imposed upon our citizens, and they've gone unchecked, and you've legislated and paved the way for yet more Welsh taxes on motorists and tourists. It is very clear to me that your plan isn't working. When will you change course and back our pro-growth, pro-business and low-tax plans for Wales?</p>

<p>Diolch for that. There are moments that matter, of course, in politics. The UK budget should be a chance to change things, but all signs point to the contrary. Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves seem determined to answer people's anger and their anguish with not compassion but cuts, and cuts in all the wrong places. Now, Wales should be demanding—I'm glad that you have—that Westminster scrap the two-child benefit cap and do more to help families with the cost of living, and bring in a wealth tax to fund our struggling public services properly. I'll ask if you will demand each of those things and how confident you are that you will be listened to, because people feel let down by Labour. Plaid Cymru is now seen as the party that will fight for our communities, and the latest proof of that is Lindsay Whittle, who is sitting with us today. The people of Caerphilly have sent Westminster a message: 'We demand better'. Will you be conveying that to Starmer and Reeves, and will you be listened to?</p>
