The Labour-led Welsh Government loves to highlight the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015. So why is it so comfortable in underfunding, belittling the staff of, and destroying our world-renowned national institutions? Whether it be our museums, opera companies, publications, or library, the Welsh Labour Government seems hellbent on systematically underfunding our institutions, letting them fall into a state of disrepair and decline, and their expert staff into a state of nihilism.

We are told that budget cuts are inevitable. It is of no doubt that the Welsh Government faces many challenges, with one-third of our children – the highest rate in Western Europe – growing up in poverty. Can we really afford to let down our future generations by stripping them of the benefits of our shared national assets?
