When he became First Minister back in March, he outlined his ambition to deliver positive and innovative change, and we on these benches were willing to promote that vision, in a way, and to work constructively with Government to deliver it. After all, delivering positive and bold change was at the heart of the co-operation agreement that had already introduced very innovative approaches in areas such as free school meals, for example, protecting the housing market, childcare, Senedd reform, and so on and so forth. 

But as the First Minister moved from one scandal of his own making to the next from the very outset, we also saw that ambitious vision being pushed to one side, and many legislative commitments that were ambitious were shelved as the Government, I'm afraid, prioritised protecting its own interests rather than delivering on behalf of the people of Wales. And, indeed, if Keir Starmer, in becoming Prime Minister, is sincere when he says that he wants to see a Government turning back to its proper work of serving the people who elect that Government, it would be good for the First Minister to also consider what's been happening over the past four months.
