BBC under fire as Plaid Cymru missing from Laura Kuenssberg show despite election win

NEW: The BBC is facing criticism over not including Plaid Cymru on its flagship Sunday politics programme, despite the party securing a seismic election win

What is the point of a national broadcaster when 3 days after a stunning victory by Plaid Cymru in a Senedd by-election it only gets mentioned in the context of Labour's woes? And what is the BBC's director of Nations doing about it?

Ok. Suggest you write to the manager of the home enclosing a letter to Charles. The managerโ€™s name is Arvin Gentile. The address is Cartref Gofal Bryn Awelon Care Home, Lon Fel, Cricieth , Gwynedd LL520LN. The phone no is 01766 522464. Good luck

Charles Parry was a librarian at the National Library of Wales for many years. He is now in a home in north Wales and is largely blind though still compos mentis. I can get his address if you wish to contact him.

The UK Treasury has screwed Wales again!

They've now classed a railway line running for Oxford to Cambridge as an "England and WALES" project.

This robs Wales over ยฃ300m+ whereas Scotland and NI get their cash.

It's a disgrace that this is still happening after the HS2 robbery.

Maeโ€™n gwbwl briodol bod โ€˜pob opsiwn ar y bwrddโ€™ ar gyfer Scunthorpe.

Ond ble oedd yr opsiynau hyn ar gyfer Port Talbot? Gwawdiodd Llafur alwad Plaid Cymru am wladoli.

Mae Llafur wedi bradychu cymunedau diwydiannol Cymru.

Keir Starmer says โ€˜all options are on the tableโ€™ for Scunthorpe โ€“ rightly so.

But when Port Talbot faced crisis, Labour mocked Plaid Cymruโ€™s call for nationalisation.

Labour has betrayed Welsh industrial communities.

Trump Made English the Official Language in a Country With 350 of Them President Trumpโ€™s executive order puts his โ€œAmerica firstโ€ stamp onto the nationโ€™s speech.

"Early American history is full of examples of bilingual government, experts said. In the 19th century, Midwestern states translated laws and messages from their governors into Norwegian, German and Welsh."

Trading standards are warning people not buy Welshcakes from unlicensed vendors. This couple are travelling South Wales selling Welshcakes from the back of a K reg Ford Transit. Analysis of the Welshcakes confirms that half the currants have been replaced with dead flies.

Why is the Welsh Government at war with arts, culture, and heritage? Precious sectors of Wales are being left to sink or swim. The Scottish government values arts, culture, and heritage: why doesnโ€™t ours?

Why is the Welsh Government at war with arts, culture, and heritage?
Why was defunding done so โ€˜quietlyโ€™?
Why is it Scotland chooses to increase funding when Wales lets invaluable sectors sink or swim?

More from @yougov.co.uk on #Brexit

๐Ÿ‘ŽOnly 8% of Britons say Brexit has had a positive impact on them personally
๐Ÿ‘Ž 67% believe it has had a negative impact on the cost of living, 5% believe the effect has been positive

I wonder whether anyone at the Beeb has ever told Robbie Gibb, the Brexit-supporting board member knighted by his former boss Theresa May who polices the โ€˜impartialityโ€™ of others, to piss off. Someone senior, whether on or off air staff, really needs to. This nonsense canโ€™t continue.

Mae Cymru yn dal i golli allan oherwydd HS2. Nid annhegwch hanesyddol yn unig yw hyn โ€“ bydd yn parhau i wasgu cyllid rheilffyrdd Cymru yn y dyfodol. Bydda' i'n parhau i fynnuโ€™r ยฃ4 biliwn syโ€™n ddyledus i Gymru.

Wales is still short-changed because of HS2. The Great Welsh Train Robbery isnโ€™t just a historic inequity โ€“ it will continue to squeeze Welsh rail funding to the future. I will continue to demand the ยฃ4 billion that Wales is owed.
