Part of 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:46 pm on 2 July 2024.
Well, he's not very proud of you, First Minister, because he can't even mention your record here in Wales. You've highlighted things that you believe are positive here in Wales; they are but mirages, at the end of the day, built on sand that will disappear at the first gust of wind. What we know is that change is on the ballot paper on Thursday. You can move away from the economic success that the Conservatives are delivering, which has got real-terms wage growth and cutting inflation from 11 per cent to 2 per cent. We can see the fastest economic growth of any G7 country, or we can move to the uncertainty and the desperation that Labour bring, where every time they have left office, unemployment has been up, the money has gone and taxes are rising. What we want to see is making sure that the people of Wales know what that change is, and that change is moving away from the economic opportunities that are delivering for people the length and breadth of Wales with the failure of Welsh Labour here in Wales to deliver on any of its key pledges, whether that be the economy, whether that be health or whether that be education.
