Plaid Cymru has launched a new literacy and numeracy plan to raise reading and maths standards across Wales.
The plan includes a library space in every primary school by 2030 with a greater focus on reading across the curriculum.
Every child in Wales deserves the best possible start. ❤️
💙 It’s Movember!
I won’t be growing a moustache, but I’ll be using November to raise awareness of men’s health, from mental health and suicide prevention to prostate and testicular cancer.
Wales needs a dedicated Men’s Health Plan. Talking saves lives.

Legendary actor of stage and screen, and a damn fine human being.

BREAKING NEWS: £100 payment to every household in council tax bands A-D across Wales ✅
As energy bills rise, Plaid Cymru is acting to help families with the cost of living 💚
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The £100 payment for Welsh households follows UK Chancellor John Healey's Budget announcement of the policy for England, with equivalent funding provided to Wales via the Barnett formula; the Plaid Cymru-led Welsh government is passing it on.

Reform claim to be champions of freedom, but only when it fits their narrow exclusionary definition.
Bydd Plaid Cymru wastad yn sefyll fyny dros ein cymunedau a herio casineb a rhagfan Reform.
I think many Americans and much of the world (aside from Russia) is looking forward to when the US has a new President.
Three years on from the horrific attacks of 7 October 23, I remember those murdered, those held hostage, their families and communities, and all who continue to feel the impact of that dark day.
Let us honour them by working for a peaceful, just future for Israel and Palestine.
I believe in a two state solution.
I want to see self-determination for Palestinians and Israelis, and a homeland for both peoples.
Labour: Let's spend 27 years centralising power in the Senedd!
Also Labour: Devolution was never meant to stop at Cardiff Bay!
As soon as they lose power in the Senedd, they want to bypass it and empower the places where they still hold some semblance of power.
No one should be forced to make a political statement or compelled to give their view on any global event if they would prefer not to.
As someone who has campaigned for better public transport and a more serious approach to buses - I find this point scoring by Ken Skates quite disappointing.
His party was in power for decades and did hardly anything for buses except allow them to decline.

Plaid Cymru is breathing new life into Wales' high streets by supporting small businesses.
We're giving your favourite pub, cafe, or restaurant a 30% cut in their business rates, to give them the breathing space they need to thrive.

Does Wales need a Men's Health Plan?
I think it does, and I started this petition to call on the Welsh Government to develop one.
What do you think?

Roughly three quarters of those who die by suicide are men.
Men in Wales die younger and experience poorer health outcomes.
We need to do better.
I've launched a Senedd petition calling for a Men's Health Plan for Wales.
