At yesterday's Wales Investment Summit, my message was clear: Wales is open for business. Last week we delivered the biggest ever Budget investment in Wales – backing semiconductors, green energy, AI and freeports to create high‑skilled jobs.

Tackling child poverty is a moral duty. That’s why I’m ending the two child limit - so every child has the chance to thrive. This will lift hundreds of thousands out of poverty and help break the cycle of disadvantage for good.

The government is announcing that it is making the Help to Save scheme permanent, helping millions on lower incomes to save and boost their financial resilience. Those eligible will receive a 50% bonus for every £1 they save over 4 years, a potential gain of £1,200.

Online gambling and its profits have grown rapidly, increasing social harms to families and communities. That's why the government is increasing tax on online gaming from April 2026 to raise over £1 billion for public services, while protecting horseracing and bingo halls.

Those with the broadest shoulders should pay their fair share. That’s why the government is introducing a new surcharge - so a £2m mansion doesn’t pay less tax than a family home. This will help pay for the public services we all rely on.

From April, we're raising the National Living Wage and National Minimum Wage. The cost of living is the number one issue people are facing, with too many struggling to make ends meet. I am determined to tackle it.
