[responded:]: The IFS Green Budget entirely vindicates Labour’s approach. By acknowledging that the Barnett Formula is only now beginning to disadvantage Wales for the first time, it shows we were right to stick with it up until last year. The under-funding we are now seeing is due to the broken promises and inaction of the Tory-led Government.
