This Plaid Cymru government’s ambitious and transformational childcare offer will be the most generous in the history of devolution, and the most generous in the UK. Helping boost household incomes ✅ Lifting families out of poverty ✅ Giving children the best start in life ✅

Labour lost on May 7 because they failed to understand Wales. Wes Streeting today revels in ignorance by comparing Plaid Cymru’s inclusive internationalism with Reform UK’s divisive populism. Welsh voters know the difference. Labour should too. #block-6a0db76c8f085b51400a57e3" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">theguardian.com/politics/live/…

The new Welsh Government is making 5 demands to Keir Starmer regarding more powers to Wales. Some people are arguing that we need to fix the problems we have now before we ask for more powers. However, this is like going up to someone whose house is on fire and saying: "We are only going to give you a hosepipe after you put it out". We need more powers to tackle Wales' problems. I am not saying that Plaid (or any other party) will do a great job if they had those powers, we can't know that at this point. But if we want Wales to succeed we have to equip and resource it properly. At the present, the current system guarantees Wales can't work. You could put the best politicians in the world in Cardiff Bay and they would still struggle to deal with Cymru's challenges with the tools they have.

New energy, new ideas, and a new approach to deliver the new leadership Plaid Cymru promised. The hard work starts now 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 - Egni newydd, syniadau newydd, ac agwedd newydd i wethredu arweinyddiaeth newydd i Gymru. Mae’r gwaith caled yn dechrau rŵan 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

HS2 is expected to cost over a £100bn - meaning Wales is now losing out on £5.8 BILLION. 🤯 The people of Wales refuse to be treated as second-class passengers any longer. The UK Government must devolve rail to Wales and ensure fair funding for our communities. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Good to speak to the Secretary of State for Wales this morning. I made clear that the Welsh Government, under my leadership, will work closely with the UK Government on matters such as the cost of living, while stressing the need to respect Welsh democracy.

The new First Minister, Rhun ap Iorwerth has held his first cabinet meeting. He urged his ministers to observe “core principles” of professionalism, ambition, credibility and empathy.

The message from Wales is clear: You cannot ignore our nation any longer. Today, Plaid Cymru is calling for a new Wales Bill for fairer funding and stronger powers. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Northern Ireland and Scotland have full control over justice. In Wales, however, we still have an ‘England and Wales’ system. Plaid Cymru has a clear mandate to push for full power over our justice system - the UK Government must listen to the will of the people of Wales.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 On a historic day for Wales, it is a privilege to sit around this table with you, and lead a team I know will work hard every day to improve the lives of the people of Wales. 1/3

AI will use huge amounts of water and energy while creating very few real jobs. Wales should invest in farming, agriculture, food production, and local industries that provide stable employment and strengthen local communities.

While Westminster is in utter chaos, the newly elected @Plaid_Cymru government is getting to work on the priorities of the people of Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 👏 @RhunapIorwerth

Will whoever wins the Labour leadership contest appoint someone sensible in the treasury as they are running the risk of making Liz Truss look like John Maynard Keynes.
