Who Pays? IFS Warnings & Rhun Reopening The M4 Debate
Q: What kind of reforms could a Plaid-led government pursue to improve growth without unsustainable spending?
Potential reforms include tax system rebalancing (reworking council tax, business rates, and land transaction tax), improving efficiency through back-office savings, and targeted investments that avoid overcommitting in the short term.
Who Pays? IFS Warnings & Rhun Reopening The M4 Debate
Q: What is the current state of Wales's economy relative to the UK and what are the near-term fiscal pressures?
Wales lags behind the UK in GDP with spending growth expected to slow; the Welsh government benefits from higher per-capita spending but faces tight budgets due to NHS and social care pressures, requiring tough trade-offs.
Can Ken Skates Save Welsh Labour? | Exclusive Interview - Senedd Sources
Q: What is your immediate priority as the new Welsh Labour leader?
