UK unemployment rate rises to 5% as jobs market weakens
Latest official data ahead of the Budget later this month shows it is the highest rate since 2021.
That's what happens when you put the fast tracked but not very good Office Manager #KeirStarmer and the accounts supervisor #RachelReeves in charge

If you live in Caerphilly and you're still planning on voting Labour next week you need to get over yourself and vote @plaidcymru.bsky.social
It's very simple: you vote for Wales, and Plaid Cymru, or you end up letting the fascists in.

Farageβs shadows are blinding Wales
Simon Hobson Bigots and Brexit sold us the dark β we deserve the light I am human. I have the right to make mistakes. I am human. I have the power to correct them. Nations, too, must claim that right....
Our people have been raised under unionism, believing we are too small, too poor, too weak to shape our destiny. Do we stay in the shadows cast by Westminster, Farage and his media courtiers. Or step into the light? βοΈ Simon Hobson

When Port Talbot was in crisis, Labour mocked Plaid Cymruβs call for nationalisation.
Now they boast of βsaving British steelβ after taking steelworks in England into public hands.

Reform keeps arguing immigration is an issue when it isnβt.
There is a by-election right now in Caerphilly and Nigel Farageβs party keeps saying that immigration is an issue there.
BUT over 97% percent of people in the area were born in the UK.
We need to debate based on facts not scaremongering.

Another poll today which again underlines that there is a clear choice facing voters in Wales - and two possible futures.
Plaid Cymruβs policies are guided by hope not hate.
We will improve public services and we will always stand up for fairness for Wales.

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 βοΈ Stephen Price
