Plaid Cymru — Dwyfor Meirionnydd

Speaking in the House of Commons on 16 July 2025

Debate

Spending Review 2025

Contribution

The Chancellor says that cutting red tape for bankers will trickle down to households. [Interruption.] The 2008 financial crash taught us that that is utter nonsense. [Interruption.] The Secretary of State has just mentioned things that happened in the past; in 2023, she said: “12 years of ‘trickle-down’ and ‘trickle-out’ growth strategies have failed to deliver for Britain.” Does she stand by what she said in opposition, or does she now toe the line for the sake of the Chancellor’s friends in the City?
