'Plaid Cymru now stands ready to take the necessary steps to form the next government of Wales.'

Leader of Plaid Cymru, Rhun ap Iorwerth, speaks after his party became the largest in Wales after the Senedd elections.

🗞️Plaid Cymru’s message of hope beat Reform’s hate.

Where Reform shouted division, we talked about belonging. Where they peddled blame, we talked about community.

The populist right can be beaten when people are offered a vision of a fairer future 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

We’re seeing a century of change in Wales.

The polls show we have a generational opportunity to set the nation on a better path with Plaid Cymru.

To all progressives in Wales, don’t allow Reform to set us back.

Catastrophic @ITVWales polling from @YouGov showing Labour cratering in Wales in a distant third for the Senedd. Straight Plaid/Reform battle.

* Plaid 30% (n/c)
* Reform 29% (+4)
* Labour 14% (-4)
* Conservatives 11% (-2)
* Lib Dem 6% (-1)
* Green 6% (+1)

If realised could well be terminal for Starmer. It’s Wales, not Scotland which could finish him next year. Labour have not only dominated the Senedd since its creation in 1999 but won every election in Wales for a century.

Rhun ap Iorwerth:

“The choice at the next election is clear – it is between the divisive Reform UK that don't care about Wales and would privatise our NHS given the chance, or a pro-Wales Plaid Cymru government that will stand up for Wales and deliver real change for our communities.”

[Will Hazell @whazell]

Exclusive: Labour’s “ship has sailed” as the party best able to stop Reform UK from winning next year’s Welsh elections, @Plaid_Cymru leader @RhunapIorwerth has told @theipaper https://t.co/FXZFVMPEnD

[(((Dan Hodges))) @DPJHodges]

When Liz Saville Roberts challenged Starmer on using the "Island of Strangers" line, and asked "is there any belief he holds which survives a week in Downing Street?" he told her she was talking rubbish. But she was right, wasn't she.

Labour promised to right the wrongs of historic underinvestment in Wales’ rail infrastructure.

£45 million a year for the next 10 years won’t even touch the sides. Labour expect us to welcome this announcement but Plaid Cymru will keep fighting for the billions we are owed.

[Plaid Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @Plaid_Cymru]

Welsh Government calculated that Wales’ rail infrastructure has been underfunded to the tune of £2.9bn to £8bn between 2001 and 2029.

The UK Government’s answer? Give us £445 million over 10 years.

Plaid Cymru won’t welcome crumbs – it’s time for Wales to be properly funded.

“I put forward an amendment in Westminster to devolve the Crown Estate. Not a single Welsh Labour MP walked through that lobby with me to get back what’s rightly ours.”

"The PM was uncomfortable with it because it rings true - his principles do shift from week to week"

Here's Liz Saville Roberts' take on Starmer's outburst during PMQs yesterday.

Keir Starmer was rattled at PMQs — but not by Kemi Badenoch https://t.co/sarcYlBuJT

[Liz Saville Roberts AS/MP @LSRPlaid]

My question clearly struck a nerve.

The faces of many Labour MPs told their own story – plenty of them know I was right.

If Starmer’s convictions change with the political weather, it’s no surprise that support for Labour is falling through the floor.

When 2,800 jobs were being lost in Port Talbot, this UK Government chose not to consider nationalisation.

Now in Scunthorpe, everything is on the table.

Labour must now explain to the people of south Wales why their jobs weren’t worth saving.

[Liz Saville Roberts AS/MP @LSRPlaid]

Keir Starmer says ‘all options are on the table’ for Scunthorpe – rightly so. But when Port Talbot faced crisis, those options were nowhere to be seen.

Labour mocked Plaid Cymru’s call for nationalisation in Wales.

We’ll be calling out this double standard tomorrow.

[Plaid Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @Plaid_Cymru]

"If it's good enough for Scunthorpe, why wasn't it good enough for Port Talbot?"

Labour failed to fight for Welsh steel jobs, says @FletcherPlaid https://t.co/WGRxWZh9Qf

[Luke Fletcher @FletcherPlaid]

When I and @Plaid_Cymru argued for this in relation to Port Talbot, we were ridiculed by members of the Labour Welsh Government.

They dismissed it as ‘student politics’ and ‘pipe dreams’.

I wonder what the First Minister thinks of this?

[Llinos Medi AS/MP @llinos_medi]

When Plaid Cymru called for the nationalisation of Port Talbot to safeguard Welsh steel, Labour dismissed it without hesitation.

The people of Port Talbot will rightly ask why their jobs and community were not worth fighting for.
