LABOUR’S Budget will “feel like austerity to many” in Wales, Plaid Cymru said today.
The party’s Treasury spokesman Ben Lake said that Chancellor Rachel Reeves “missed an opportunity to chart a bold new path,” with the Budget falling short of the promises made during the general election.
Ms Reeves said the Welsh government would get an extra £1.7 billion in April in what she called the “largest real-terms funding increase since devolution.”
