LABOUR’S MISSED OPPORTUNITIES

Yesterday, the Chancellor missed a real opportunity to chart a bold new path after 14 years of austerity. 


Even though Labour promised two governments working together, it appears the Welsh Government was sidelined yet again by the UK Government, as there is little good news for Wales in the budget.


Despite promising to 'get to grips with HS2', the Chancellor failed to deliver the billions owed to Wales. 


Additionally, by keeping cuts to the welfare budget planned by the Conservatives, failing to help pensioners keep warm this winter or bring an end to the two-child cap, this will still feel like austerity to many.


Wales deserves more than broken promises. 


Help Plaid Cymru to keep the pressure on Keir Starmer's Government to reverse their cut to the winter fuel payment, to protect vulnerable pensioners this winter, by signing the petition.
