1/2 Seems the budget was p**** poor for rail enhancements in Wales. £30M toward Parkway is welcome, but doesn't materially address the funding injustice (into £Bns & impacts WG health, education £) - also in the budget +£300m for Leeds station! FYI @SKinnock @RhunapIorwerth >
I know I have shared before, but on @hmtreasury budget day I feel a repost is necessary re the longstanding funding inequity in respect of rail infrastructure in Wales> (@BBCWalesNews @ITVWales @adavies4 @NationCymru @businesslive

Where was the ambition for Wales in this budget?
No attempt to right past wrongs, no real cost-of-living support, and no fair deal for our nation.
Despite big promises, it seems that while the faces in Downing Street may have changed, the Treasury's approach to Wales has not.

Welsh government Finance Minister Elin Jones responds to the budget, calling it a “real-terms cut dressed up as a windfall”

Andy Burnham promised growth in every postcode by moving power away from Westminster.
But small, rehashed tweaks won’t cut it.
The PM must match the ambition of the people of Wales and give our nation the same economic powers as Scotland so our communities can prosper.

Plaid Cymru has been exposing the scandal of unfair standing charges for years.
It’s welcome that the Prime Minister is looking at gas standing charges, but Welsh families need action on sky-high electricity standing charges too, and a fair deal for those off the gas grid.
Andy Burnham tells PMQs he is considering removing standing charges from gas bills lbc.co.uk/article/andy-burnh…

Wales has around 10% of the rail network, but receives just 1% of Network Rail’s spending across England and Wales.
The UK Government has promised £14bn to address decades of underfunding.
Today’s Budget must bring forward £1bn of that funding now.

Any breathing space afforded to households in the Chancellor's Budget today is to be welcomed, but Wales needs and deserves far more than a temporary fix.
For decades, our economy has been at an unfair disadvantage. An outdated funding formula, a lack of meaningful fiscal levers and policy driven from and for the city of London never has and never will never work for Wales.
This has left our nation facing the worst financial settlement since the years of George Osborne's destructive austerity agenda.
Today, the Chancellor should be showing the urgency and ambition required to overcome the huge economic challenges we face. This should include:
Introducing targeted measures to support those most in need through the cost-of-living crisis.
Reversing real-terms cuts to Wales's budget so we can properly invest in our public services.
Bringing forward £1bn of rail funding for Wales in the current Spending Review as part of the wider £14bn commitment.
Granting Wales greater fiscal flexibility putting us on an equal footing with Scotland.

Mae unrhyw gymorth a roddir i aelwydydd yng Nghyllideb y Canghellor heddiw i’w groesawu, ond mae Cymru angen ac yn haeddu gymaint gwell na datrysiad dros dro.
Ers degawdau, mae ein heconomi wedi bod o dan anfantais. Nid yw a ni fydd fformiwla ariannu sydd wedi dyddio, diffyg pwerau ariannol gwirioneddol, a pholisïau sy'n cael eu llunio o Lundain at ddibenion Llundain yn gweithio i Gymru.
Oherwydd hyn, mae ein cenedl yn wynebu'r setliad ariannol gwaethaf ers cyfnod llymder dinistriol George Osborne.
Heddiw, dylai'r Canghellor ddangos y brys a'r uchelgais sydd ei angen i oresgyn yr heriau economaidd enfawr rydym yn eu hwynebu. Dylai hyn gynnwys:
Cyflwyno mesurau wedi'u targedu i gefnogi'r rhai sydd angen y cymorth fwyaf yn ystod yr argyfwng costau byw.
Gwrthdroi’r toriadau mewn termau real i gyllideb Cymru, er mwyn i ni allu buddsoddi'n briodol yn ein gwasanaethau cyhoeddus.
Dod a £1 biliwn o gyllid a addawyd ar gyfer rheilffyrdd Cymru yn ei flaen i’r cyfnod Adolygiad Gwariant presennol.
Rhoi mwy o hyblygrwydd ariannol i’n cenedl, gan roi’r un grymoedd i Gymru a’r hyn sydd gan yr Alban.
