Mae Cyllideb hefyd yn ddatganiad o flaenoriaethau. Ac mae'n amlwg o'r diffyg cyllid ychwanegol ar gyfer iechyd, gwasanaethau cymdeithasol a llywodraeth leol – heb sôn am y  gefnogaeth bitw sydd ar gael i bobl a busnesau sydd angen help yr eiliad hon – nad oes gan Lywodraeth y DU afael ar y darlun ehangach a'i bod yn fwy na pharod i ryw dincran o gwmpas yr ymylon.
