Imagine what £14bn could do for Welsh rail 🤯
Plaid Cymru is urging the UK Government to deliver on their promises in the upcoming Budget - to improve our railways and connect our communities✊
Rhaid i Lywodraeth y DU gyflawni ar ei addewidion i fuddsoddi yn rheilffyrdd Cymru.
There are occasions when the most dignified contribution a political party can make is to stop talking about itself.
This was one of them.

MSP Amanda Bland blames “abusive misogynistic behaviour” by Reform leaders drove her to quit party-triggering her back to a child growing up in house torn apart by domestic abuse saying “it feels like I’ve escaped coercive control.” @RealStephenKerr @MaryHowden @ItsTimeCampaign

Climate change is real. Communities across Wales have been devastated by wildfires and floods.
That’s why Plaid Cymru is taking urgent action.
We commissioned that report Helen, and changed our disciplinary rules and standards because of it. If you think Reform would come out of the same process looking better, then get it done. Until you do, your whataboutery is just that.

Did the sacked Secretary of State ever refer to the previous Welsh Gov as the “Labour minority government”? No, she didn’t.
Pettiness personified.

On my YouTube channel, we don't have Delia Smith. We don't have Gareth Southgate.
We have something far more special.
Owen Filer was born in 1919, when Woodrow Wilson was in the White House and Lloyd George was in Downing Street.
Films were silent, penicillin hadn't been discovered and nobody had heard of the BBC.
He turned 107 this week, and 85,000 of you have already watched our interview already.

The youngest member of the House of Lords is on a mission to destroy it from within.
Baroness Carmen Smith is using a private members bill to try to force the government to consult people on replacing the 700-year-old House of Lords with an alternative second chamber that is more representative of the nations and regions. Sky's @amandaakass reports.

"Their safety and wellbeing must come first”.
Transport Minister @markjhooper responds to what workers experienced during the recent wildfires and extreme heat.
We welcome his commitment to work with unions to make changes that will protect workers during extreme weather.
I hope @Plaid_Cymru central office are making notes, because it's not often that a real expert in their field gives their expertise for free.

🚨Nigel Farage called Reform's vetting "piss poor."
Now their own head of comms says half their candidates shouldn't be there.
Does this explain the “effective opposition” in the chamber?

The Welsh Government has confirmed that an independent Wales-specific review of the previous Labour administration’s handling of the Covid-19 pandemic will be held ✍️@ShiptonMartin wp.me/p8Mk4U-1vHs
I can't believe that I'm having to point this out... But the answer is lobbyists.
The UK's tax system is riddled with loopholes and inconsistencies that leak revenue, hurt economic growth and are simply unjust, says Tim Harford. Why have successive governments been so hesitant to clean it up?

On 21 October 1965, the Welsh speaking village of Capel Celyn was drowned to create a reservoir to supply Liverpool with water. Every Welsh MP was against doing so. #CofiwchDreweryn
