<p>I remind the First Minister that PIP isn't an out-of-work benefit, of course, and I remind her also that Sadiq Khan in London and Andy Burnham in Manchester are very, very keen to make it clear to Keir Starmer what they think of, still, the welfare reforms that are in front of us, and it's clear from the response there that the First Minister has no real issue with having a two-tier welfare system, at least not enough to stand up to Labour MPs in Westminster. But what about grassroots members of her own party? I applaud them for voting at the weekend in favour of two motions—one on fair funding for Wales, the other on devolution of the Crown Estate—agreeing with long-standing positions taken by Plaid Cymru. And with the Crown Estate figures published today showing £1.1 billion in profit last year, including £132 million going to the King, we shouldn't be surprised that people are getting angry. But it seems people who have been loyal to Labour are far more progressive than the party's leader, so no wonder more and more of them are turning to Plaid Cymru. Labour's leadership in Westminster are barriers to change. The Secretary of State for Wales, Jo Stevens, remains stubbornly opposed to both the devolution of the Crown Estate and truly fair funding. So, now we know Labour at Westminster continue to be blockers to the will of Labour members as well as to the will of this Senedd, what's the First Minister's next move?</p>

<p>I'd like to ask for two statements, with one from the Cabinet Secretary for rural affairs on the bluetongue restrictions that are imposed by the Government and which come into force today. Many farmers still have a lot of unanswered questions for the Government, many especially on the elements of extreme weather events. We still have no clear plan from the Government, if stock need to be moved quickly, for how those farmers can move them within the restrictions that are currently in place. The Deputy First Minister said he would sort it out, but, unfortunately, nothing has been forthcoming. So, I'd like a statement on that, please, because many people are very concerned on this point.</p>
<p>I'd also like a second update from the Welsh Government on the case of Robbie Powell, a young lad who died in Ystradgynlais because of a misdiagnosis of Addison's disease. His father, Will Powell, has campaigned for years for a public inquiry into his death, and I join his calls for that. But, Cabinet Secretary, I met with the Secretary of State for Wales, Jo Stevens, and, when we met with her, she said some of these issues are reserved to the Welsh Government. She said to us that she would get a meeting set up for Mr Powell and me with the Welsh Government. That has not been forthcoming, and I think Mr Powell has campaigned long and hard enough on this issue, and I think the Welsh Government should show him a bit more respect and come forward with that meeting date as soon as possible.</p>
