We need an election in Wales, whose turn is it to back Labour up once again, keeping Labour in control of Wales, so much for opposition parties.
The Welsh Labour Government’s Final Budget for the 2025-26 financial year will be voted on in the Senedd tomorrow (Tuesday 4th March).
Labour has no majority in the Senedd, and therefore needs at least one opposition vote to get their budget through, with Liberal Democrat Jane Dodds set to allow the budget to pass.
Welsh Conservatives have been heavily critical, following the draft budget, of significantly increased spending on ‘Central Services and Administration’ (£117 million in just two years) as well as significant spending on agency staffing in the Welsh NHS.
Commenting, Welsh Conservative Shadow Cabinet Secretary for Finance, Sam Rowlands MS said:
“Labour’s budget will not fix Wales, it will not address the people’s priorities, with woeful outcomes like excessive waiting lists and low educational standards speaking for themselves.
“Whether it’s Plaid, or now the Lib Dems propping Labour up, it is clear that only the Welsh Conservatives have consistently opposed Labour’s damaging spending plans, and focused on the people’s priorities.
“Welsh Conservatives would instead focus on putting money back into Welsh people’s pockets, starting with creating a Welsh Winter Fuel Allowance to replace the payment cut by Keir Starmer, funded by slashing inflated spending on Welsh Government bureaucrats.
“Labour’s woeful budget must be voted down, with Labour turfed out of office as soon as possible.”
