Text
To be quite frank, I think that the Opposition are being reckless in providing illustrations as part of the Budget discussion that are not reflective of reality. I believe that the Finance Minister also said that. Whilst you might be happy for us to accept the crumbs from the table and divvy up what we get, I will keep fighting for people here, because we deserve fairness, a good Budget, investment in our public services and support for people to get through the cost-of-living crisis. That is why we are working intensively to get a Budget, but here we go again with the drama of Westminster, and, once again, we will be at the bottom of the priority list. That tells me, you and everybody out there that our future is best served in our own hands. Let us work together on that.
