Nid yw’r camau sydd wedi’u cynnig hyd yma – yr ad-daliad o £200 ar filiau trydan, y mae’n rhaid i bob talwr bil ei ad-dalu dros bum mlynedd – yn ddigon. Roedd Datganiad y Gwanwyn yn gyfle i Lywodraeth y DU amddiffyn y rhai mwyaf agored i niwed yn ein cymdeithas, yn hytrach roedd yn ddatganiad ideolegol, atchweliadol gan y Canghellor, heb fesurau ymarferol i helpu’r rhai sydd angen cymorth fwyaf – nid oes dim i’r rhai sy’n methu gweithio a'r rhai ar incwm is.
The action offered to date – the £200 rebate on electricity bills, which must be repaid by every bill payer over five years – is too little. The Spring Statement was an opportunity for the UK Government to protect the most vulnerable in our society, instead it was an ideological, regressive statement from the Chancellor, which lacked practical measures to help those who need help the most – there is nothing for those who cannot work and those on lower incomes.
