English: Can I thank you for your statement, Minister? It's clear that, even with the limited increase that we're seeing in this year's spending round, the impact of 10 years of austerity is not being adequately addressed and Wales still faces some very difficult financial situations in the years ahead. It was interesting to hear Nick Ramsay's comments to the First Minister earlier and in response to you, Minister, when even Nick had to recognise that we've had some cutbacks. I think you're starting to master the art of understatement now, Nick. [ Laughter.] But it's also clear from what - [ Interruption.] It's also clear from what the former Tory Prime Minister David Cameron has written in his memoirs that he believes that his Government should actually have delivered bigger and faster cuts. He suggested that his Government should have gone harder on the deficit after he became PM in 2010. He said: 'My assessment now is that we probably didn't cut enough.' And he goes on to say that: 'Those who were opposed to austerity were going to be opposed and pretty hysterically to whatever we didwe might as well well have ripped the plaster off with more cuts early on.' Would you agree with me, finance Minister, that, in spite of what the Welsh Conservatives say today and the regular calls for Welsh Government to spend more, we now know that in reality they would have preferred to have made even deeper cuts to our budgets and that that should send a stark warning to the Welsh electorate, whenever that election comes, and, under them and their new-found friends in the Brexit Party, that we will not be seeing the desperately needed increases in local government and other front-line services? Would you also join me in condemning their arrogance in calling those of us who've opposed the damage caused by austerity as hysterical?
Welsh: A gaf i ddiolch i chi am eich datganiad, Gweinidog? Mae'n amlwg, hyd yn oed gyda'r cynnydd cyfyngedig a welwn ni yn y cylch gwariant eleni, nad yw effaith 10 mlynedd o gyni yn cael sylw digonol a bod Cymru'n dal i wynebu sefyllfaoedd ariannol anodd iawn yn y blynyddoedd i ddod. Roedd hi'n ddiddorol clywed sylwadau Nick Ramsay wrth y Prif Weinidog yn gynharach ac mewn ymateb i chi, Gweinidog, pan roedd yn rhaid i hyd yn oed Nick gydnabod ein bod wedi cael rhywfaint o doriadau. Rwy'n credu eich bod chi'n dechrau meistroli'r grefft o gynildeb nawr, Nick. [ Chwerthin.] Ond mae hefyd yn glir o'r hyn - [ Torri ar draws.] Mae hefyd yn glir o'r hyn y mae'r cyn-Brif Weinidog Torïaidd David Cameron wedi'i ysgrifennu yn ei atgofion ei fod yn credu y dylai ei Lywodraeth fod wedi gwneud toriadau mwy a chyflymach mewn gwirionedd. Awgrymodd y dylai ei Lywodraeth fod wedi bod yn llymach gyda'r diffyg ar ôl iddo ddod yn Brif Weinidog yn 2010. Dywedodd: Fy asesiad i nawr yw na wnaethom ni, fwy na thebyg, dorri digon. Ac mae'n mynd ymlaen i ddweud: Byddai'r rhai a oedd yn gwrthwynebu cyni yn gwrthwynebu, a hynny'n hysterig iawn, beth bynnag a wnaem ni cystal inni fod wedi rhwygo'r plastr ymaith gyda mwy o doriadau'n gynnar. A fyddech chi'n cytuno â mi, Gweinidog Cyllid, er gwaethaf yr hyn y mae'r Ceidwadwyr Cymreig yn ei ddweud heddiw a'r galwadau rheolaidd ar Lywodraeth Cymru i wario mwy, ein bod yn gwybod erbyn hyn y byddai wedi bod yn well ganddyn nhw gwtogi mwy fyth ar ein cyllidebau mewn gwirionedd, ac y dylai hynny fod yn rhybudd plaen i etholwyr Cymru, pryd bynnag y daw'r etholiad hwnnw, ac, oddi tanyn nhw a'u cyfeillion newydd yn y Blaid Brexit, na fyddwn yn gweld y cynnydd y mae taer angen amdano mewn llywodraeth leol a gwasanaethau rheng flaen eraill? A wnewch chi hefyd ymuno â mi i gondemnio eu trahauster wrth alw'r rhai ohonom ni sydd wedi gwrthwynebu'r difrod a achoswyd gan gyni yn hysterig?
