"It is not fair that Wales is treated the way it is, and it is not fair that Welsh ministers are humiliated and we saw it this afternoon having to run to catch up because they don't know what's being said from London,"
"It's not fair that Welsh ministers need to try to explain that rail funding is fair when it's self-evidently not, that Barnett is fair when it is self-evidently not."
"an abject lack of delivery for Wales"
The UK government is funding town centre improvement work in Wales without involving the Welsh government, using a law that allows spending in areas normally devolved. Alun Davies said Wales is being humiliated by Westminster's stance on devolution and called for equality for Wales within the United Kingdom. Davies and ten other backbench Labour MSs signed a letter objecting to the Pride in Place funding going directly to local councils. Plaid Cymru leader Rhun ap Iorwerth accused Sir Keir Starmer of an abject lack of delivery for Wales. The Welsh government says the Barnett formula does not meet Wales' needs and should be changed. Davies also argued that policing powers should be devolved to Wales.
