English: I'll tell you what I'll do; I'll withdraw the word 'pointless'. I wouldn't want to be the subject of a point of order later on today. I withdraw the word 'pointless' and I apologise for that. What I should have said was 'politically convenient', because what they are doing is using this proposed rise in council tax, which will hit the poorest people, in order to justify uncosted expenditure through the course of the rest of this Senedd term, and I think that is something that needs challenge. Let's just look at some of the proposals that they've had through the debates that we've had so far: comprehensive free school meals, universal childcare, a rent freeze, education maintenance allowance, and that big black hole that we don't know anything about - independence. These are things that they are bringing to this Chamber, and in spite of being in the co-operation agreement, in which they've got spending commitments, they are making these demands as well, which is, I believe, politically unacceptable. You've got effects, then, on things like, as has already been mentioned, public transport, apprenticeships, town centre development, local authority capital funding, decarbonisation and Natural Resources Wales. These are all consequences that are having a direct result, as a result of some of the decisions that have been made. And my last point, Dirprwy Lywydd, if you'll allow me, because of the interventions: I did ask Peter Fox that question earlier on, how he felt about universal free school meals. When that debate was held in the previous Senedd and in the beginning of this Senedd, it was not a healthy debate. It was a debate held by social media. We were attacked, those of us who voted against it. I believe in universal free school meals, but I am still sceptical about it as a priority at this time. If we had extra money, it should go towards universal Flying Start, and if we didn't have that money, it should go towards those things that we already protect. I think there is a real danger in pushing that policy harder and harder when there are other priorities that we have to meet, such as the bus emergency scheme, that are not being met as a result of this budget. There is a lot of -
Welsh: Dyma beth wnaf fi, fe wnaf fi dynnu'r gair 'dibwrpas' yn ôl. Fyddwn i ddim eisiau bod yn destun pwynt o drefn yn nes ymlaen heddiw. Rwy'n tynnu'r gair 'dibwrpas' yn ôl ac rwy'n ymddiheuro am hynny. Yr hyn y dylwn i fod wedi'i ddweud oedd 'cyfleus yn wleidyddol', oherwydd yr hyn maen nhw'n ei wneud yw defnyddio'r cynnydd arfaethedig hwn yn y dreth gyngor, a fydd yn taro'r bobl dlotaf, er mwyn cyfiawnhau gwariant nad yw wedi'i gostio yn ystod gweddill tymor y Senedd hon, ac rwy'n credu bod hynny'n rhywbeth sydd angen ei herio. Gadewch i ni edrych ar rai o'r cynigion sydd wedi bod ganddyn nhw drwy'r dadleuon rydyn ni wedi'u cael hyd yma: prydau ysgol am ddim cynhwysfawr, gofal plant cyffredinol, rhewi rhent, lwfans cynhaliaeth addysg, a'r twll mawr du hwnnw nad ydym yn gwybod unrhyw beth amdano - annibyniaeth. Mae'r rhain yn bethau maen nhw'n eu cyflwyno i'r Siambr hon, ac er gwaethaf bod yn y cytundeb cydweithio, lle mae ganddyn nhw ymrwymiadau gwario, maen nhw'n gofyn am hyn hefyd, sydd, yn fy marn i, yn wleidyddol annerbyniol. Mae effeithiau, wedyn, fel sydd wedi'i grybwyll yn barod, ar bethau megis trafnidiaeth gyhoeddus, prentisiaethau, datblygu canol trefi, cyllid cyfalaf awdurdodau lleol, datgarboneiddio a Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru. Mae'r rhain i gyd yn ganlyniadau sy'n arwain at ganlyniad uniongyrchol, o ganlyniad i rai o'r penderfyniadau sydd wedi eu gwneud. A fy mhwynt olaf, Dirprwy Lywydd, os wnewch chi ganiatáu i mi, oherwydd yr ymyriadau: fe wnes i ofyn y cwestiwn hwnnw'n gynharach i Peter Fox, sut roedd yn teimlo am brydau ysgol am ddim cyffredinol. Pan gynhaliwyd y ddadl honno yn y Senedd flaenorol ac ar ddechrau'r Senedd hon, nid oedd yn ddadl iach. Roedd yn ddadl a gynhaliwyd drwy'r cyfryngau cymdeithasol. Ymosodwyd arnom, y rhai ohonom wnaeth bleidleisio yn ei erbyn. Rwy'n credu mewn prydau ysgol am ddim cyffredinol, ond rwy'n dal yn amheus am y peth fel blaenoriaeth ar hyn o bryd. Pe byddai gennym ni arian ychwanegol, dylai fynd tuag at Dechrau'n Deg cyffredinol, ac os nad oedd yr arian hwnnw gennym ni, dylai fynd tuag at y pethau hynny yr ydym ni eisoes yn eu gwarchod. Rwy'n credu bod perygl gwirioneddol o ran gwthio'r polisi hwnnw'n galetach ac yn galetach pan fo blaenoriaethau eraill mae'n rhaid i ni eu bodloni, fel y cynllun argyfwng bysiau, nad ydynt yn cael eu bodloni o ganlyniad i'r gyllideb hon. Mae llawer o -
