Plaid Cymru’s own report states the M4 junction closures “would not significantly address the wider [motorway] capacity issues”.   Is that worth damaging Newport’s air quality, accessibility and economic growth for? No. Don’t do it then! walesonline.co.uk/news/wales…

A quick reminder that just a few weeks ago on @seneddsources, Sarah described her politics as "centre right" I wish her well on leaving Reform, but news that a centre right politician shares Plaid Cymru's values will concern many progressive voters who lent Plaid a vote in May.
Our work is to win support for our vision for Wales and it’s clear that Sarah has been inspired by that positive vision. Sarah shares our Group’s values of fighting for a more prosperous future for our nation and rejecting the hateful rhetoric of the right. I look forward to working together. Croeso, Sarah. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cmly…

Matthew Rhys' speech after making history as the first man to win 2 lead acting Emmys in one night. “To the great & good people of Wales… we are a small but mighty nation!”

Why aren’t we seeing the same urgency from Plaid Cymru that we’ve seen from the UK Labour Government over the last few weeks?

Funny how some think voting the same way as Reform is a "betrayal of Wales" when Labour does it to secure more money for schools. But when Plaid Cymru votes with Reform to open the possibility of culling badgers? Silence. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crmr…

FACT CHECK: Plaid Cymru's claims about Wales' finances are false. Labour left funding for schools, hospitals and transport - not a financial mess. Here's the truth. 👇

Given Plaid Cymru’s announcement of a review of the M4, I want to it make clear our opposition to any motorway junction closures and diversion of significant volumes of M4 traffic through Queens way & Meadows, the SDR, and the communities of Lliswerry, Pill, Maesglas & Duffryn.

👀 Listen to Plaid Transport Minister’s response in this clip. Prepare for M4 junction closure chaos in Newport under Plaid Cymru. facebook.com/share/v/1CbCLEB…

What a corker…
.@CarterRoutes - "If I was you, I'd put the champagne cork back in the bottle" @DafyddTrystan - "It is close, and every vote will count between Plaid Cymru and Reform". Watch the full debate on @ITVX and @YouTube

A difficult question for Plaid Cymru: What if the data now shows you’re not the only party that can beat Reform? If their whole campaign rests on a false narrative then how long before it starts to unravel?
Replying to @LukeTryl
Implied vote shares 🌼Plaid Cymru 25% (+4) ➡️Reform UK 25% (+24) 🌹Labour 21% (-15) 🌳Conservatives 11% (-14) 💚Greens 10% (+6) 🔶Liberal Democrats 7% (+3) Change with 2021 Senedd election regional vote.

If you re-elect Welsh Labour this May, bus fares across Wales will be capped at just £2. That’s fairness you can feel.
