“Labour deserve to lose vote on woeful budget” – Sam Rowlands MS

A Finance Committee report published called for “urgent changes” to address the cost-of-living crisis, to make the issue a “higher priority” ahead of a vote on Tuesday on the Welsh Labour Government’s spending plans.

Labour has no majority in the Senedd and so needs at least one opposition vote to pass their budget, widely expected to be the sole Liberal Democrat in the Senedd.

Tuesday’s vote on the Budget is likely to lead in defeat for the Welsh Labour Government and will result in revisions being made ahead of a vote on the Final Budget in March.

Commenting, Welsh Conservative Shadow Cabinet Secretary for Finance, Sam Rowlands MS said:

“Labour’s woeful budget will not fix a broken Wales. It must be voted down.

“The Budget lacks long-term planning and it’s clear they have abdicated responsibility to the most vulnerable. Labour deserves to lose this budget vote and must be turfed out of office as soon as possible.

“A first step to easing the cost of living for those currently being let down by Labour, would be to restore payments to pensioners by introducing a Welsh Winter Fuel Allowance, paid for by slashing the Welsh Labour Government’s inflated spending on central bureaucracy.”
