No, King Arthur is not England's Stephen Price An opinion piece from Antony David Davies last week caused quite the stir on Facebook thanks to its teaser, which the author himself might also have taken a little issue with. Antony is ...

The colonisation of Wales has seen our myths, legends and history whitewashed to fit the narrative of England. But of all the legends they could have picked, King Arthur is not only the most absurd, but perhaps also the most telling ✍️ Stephen Price

Labour have pushed their deeply flawed welfare Bill through Westminster without even knowing the full impact on Wales 🀯

Plaid Cymru will stand up for disabled people continue to ensure that fairness and compassion is at the heart of any reforms.

The Labour UK Government’s shambles over the Welfare Bill was completely avoidable.

Targeting the most vulnerable shouldn’t be an option when alternatives are available.

Plaid Cymru believe that those with the broadest shoulders should pay their fair share.

Plaid Cymru MPs listened to disabled people and voted against the welfare bill tonight.

This bill was cruel from the start and remains unfit for purpose.

These measures will hit Welsh communities hardest - yet the vast majority of Welsh Labour MPs nodded them through.

Shame.

Labour’s welfare cuts will still push 150,000 people into poverty.

Only one Welsh Labour MP has publicly opposed the Bill, despite Wales being disproportionately hit.

We urge the other 26 to join Plaid Cymru in voting with their conscience against the Welfare Bill tonight.

🚨 It’s becoming clear: Plaid Cymru is now the only party strong enough to stop Reform in Wales!

But Reform have billionaire backers behind them.
That means we’ve got work to do - and we can’t do it without you.

Labour pledged to cut 2-year waiting lists by Spring, but they've increased🀯

It's clear that sticking plaster solutions and cash injections aren't working.

A Plaid Cymru government will take action on waiting lists and change how the NHS is run to make it fit for the futureπŸ’š

Until we devolve the Crown Estate, the extraction of wealth from Wales’ natural resources continues.

Thanks to Labour, the profits from our rivers and sea beds will go to the Crown.

Just as in Scotland, Welsh communities should profit from our own natural resources.

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

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

Labour Ministers in Wales should listen to their own Chancellor.

"Β£445m for railways in Wales over 10 years"

We've been underfunded to the tune of billions, not millions.

Today, the Labour UK Government will wax lyrical about a handful of new projects.

But it will remain silent on the fact that it has moved the goal posts to ensure that Wales – yet again – loses out on much needed investment.

It’s time for Wales to be funded fairly.

For the first time ever, more Labour voters now have an unfavourable view of Keir Starmer than a favourable one, with the highest numbers of voters now saying they have an unfavourable view of the Labour party than at any point since YouGov first started measuring back in 2017
