Harri Roberts, candidate, says “Gŵyr Swansea candidates are all local people with a wealth of experience in the NHS, teaching, business, and technology. This contrasts with the Reform Party that has ignored local candidates with many ex-Tories being given priority.”

"A little excursion" — Donald Trump's flippant description of the Gulf war, which has displaced 3 million Iranians and worsened Lebanon. Farage's Reform urges UK to join — only Plaid Cymru can stop them in Wales, says Plaid Gŵyr Abertawe's Dr Gwyn Williams.

How can anyone in Wales consider supporting Reform UK, whose leader Nigel Farage has advocated joining Trump's war in the Gulf?
"Only Plaid Cymru can stop Reform in Wales as as shown in the polls and the Caerphilly by-election", said Gŵyr Abertawe candidate Dafydd Williams.

[Plaid Cymru Abertawe/Swansea @plaidabertawe]

“The Westminster Labour government has failed to replace EU funding for investment” says Rhiannon Barrar, candidate. “Not enough is being allocated for revenue, especially to local councils and the UK Government wants to exert an unacceptable level of control.”

It’s unsurprising the Welsh Labour Government avoids comparisons with Scotland over tourism income. “In one year spend in Wales was £500m; in Scotland nearly £4000m, and it has double Wales’s tourism jobs,” said John Davies, candidate.
