Er gwaethaf y rhagolygon economaidd sy’n dirywio, roedd cyllid cyhoeddus y DU yn cynnig cyfle i’r Canghellor weithredu’n fwy pendant oherwydd bod y rhagolygon o ran refeniw trethi yn uwch a’r lefelau benthyca yn is na’r hyn a ddisgwyliwyd cyn hyn. Nid oes modd egluro felly pam nad yw'r Canghellor wedi defnyddio'r pwerau gwario sydd ar gael iddo i fuddsoddi mewn mesurau o sylwedd i gefnogi pobl ar adeg pan fo mwy o angen arnynt nag erioed.
Despite the deteriorating economic outlook, the Chancellor had the room in the UK public finances to act more decisively due to higher forecast tax revenues and lower borrowing than previously expected. It is therefore inexplicable that the Chancellor has not used the spending power available to him to invest in substantive measures to support people when they need it most.
