'We've got to be willing to face some difficult truths, some inconvenient truths, but we have to if we're going to be honest with ourselves.'- Interim leader @KenSkatesMS speaking to Wales Online walesonline.co.uk/news/politics/…

Welsh Labour holding the Welsh Government to account starts with one question to Plaid: where’s the money for their childcare offer coming from?

Today, I want to reaffirm what I said when I first became interim leader of Welsh Labour: we will remain firmly focused on serving the people of Wales by holding this Welsh Government to account.

📺 WATCH: I was on @SharpEndITV to talk about the election & the challenges facing Wales in the months ahead. Politics can’t just be about promises. People in Wales want honest answers about how things will actually be delivered. @Welsh_Labour will hold Plaid Cymru to account.

Today, we set out our plan to strengthen economic security, energy security and national security, making the UK stronger and fairer for everyone. Here is what this means for people across Wales: 🧵1/8

Today, as interim leader of Welsh Labour, I made clear that we will remain focused on serving your interests and improving your lives by holding the government to account. Collaboration and challenge both make government stronger.

'Voters have sent us a message, and if we are serious about rebuilding trust, we need to hear it properly.' Our campaign chair @HuwIrranca on Friday's results. walesonline.co.uk/news/politics/…

Plaid Cymru have failed to publish how much their manifesto would cost the people of Wales. So we did the work for them. The result? £4 billion of uncosted commitments. They’re just not serious.

Two days to polling day. Plaid and Reform are still running scared of publishing their costings. They're not ready. Wales cannot afford a leap into the dark with these chancers. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@WelshLabPress Nobody on the door is talking about costings. Behave.

Update from our door-knocking teams out today - this is coming up all over Wales. Plaid won’t publish their costings. Plaid are not ready. Plaid are a risk you can’t afford.

Welsh Labour is the only party that has published costings for its manifesto. So what is Plaid hiding behind theirs?

'Where is your equivalent to what we've published?" Welsh Labour leader Eluned Morgan pushes Plaid Cymru's leader Rhun ap Iorwerth to publish his party's manifesto costings.

Plaid on @LBC : 1. “Wales cannot afford not to be independent.” 2. “This is not an election about independence.” 🤔

“Yes or no on this question” @LBC Lib Dems: “it’s both”

Greens and Plaid want to nationalise Dŵr Cymru. That’s half the NHS budget gone.

“It does seem incredible” @IainDale calls out @RhunapIorwerth & @Plaid_Cymru on their failure to publish their costings. They’ve got a week left to do so.

“You’ve got the same manifesto, just a different badge” @Eluned_Morgan on @LBC debate berates Tories and Reform as two parts of the same pantomime donkey. 🫏

Here’s one! Will you follow @WelshLabour example and publish the costings for your manifesto? And if not, why not?

It’s clear listening to the Greens and the Lib Dems on @LBC they have no clue what they’d do for the NHS. No idea what to do in government. No idea how to pay for anything in their manifestos. It’s beyond irresponsible to ask for support on that basis.
