A year ago, Plaid Cymru outlined plans for a Welsh wealth fund.

Earlier this year, I tabled the amendments to the Crown Estate Bill to make it a possibility...

…but Labour MPs voted against it.

Only Plaid Cymru truly stands up for Wales.

Wales deserves wealth fund from wind - Mark Drakeford

The former first minister has called for the creation of a sovereign wealth fund out of profits from the Crown Estate.

Rhwystrodd Llafur ymgais Plaid Cymru i ddatganoli Ystâd y Goron i Gymru, gan addo comisiynydd yn lle.

10 mis ar ôl yr addewid hwnnw, nid yw’r broses recriwtio hyd yn oed wedi dechrau.

Mae Llafur yn benderfynol i elw o adnoddau Cymru aros yn San Steffan, nid cymunedau Cymru.

Labour blocked Plaid Cymru’s proposals to devolve the Crown Estate, promising instead a commissioner for Wales.

10 months on from that pledge, the recruitment process hasn’t even started.

Labour wants profits from Welsh resources to stay in Westminster, not Welsh communities.

Most workers would be sacked if they treated a full-time job as a part-time gig.

Farage has raked in nearly £1 million from outside work - over ten times his MP salary.

Clacton is being treated with contempt. We must not let the same happen to Wales.

Fantastic article by Archbishop Cotrell reminding us how detrimental and unecessary the two-child benefit cap is…

“You only get one childhood. If it’s blighted, you may never recover. If so many lives are blighted in this way, the whole of society suffers.”

Enghraifft arall o Gymru'n cael ei thrin yn annheg. Mae ein cymunedau dur yn haeddu mwy.

Plaid Cymru @plaidcymru.bsky.social · Sep 2

Mae Llywodraeth y DU wedi cymryd rheolaeth o weithfeydd dur yn Scunthorpe a Rotherham.

Pan ddaeth Llafur i rym, roedd un ffwrnais chwyth yn dal i redeg ym Mhort Talbot, ond collwyd miloedd o swyddi achos eu esgeulustod.

Mae Cymru'n haeddu gwell na dull dewis a dethol Llafur.

Another example of Wales being treated unfairly. Our steel communities deserve more.

Plaid Cymru @plaidcymru.bsky.social · Sep 2

The UK Government has taken control of steelworks in Scunthorpe and Rotherham.

When Labour took office, one blast furnace was still running in Port Talbot, but their neglect cost thousands of jobs.

Labour’s selective approach to saving livelihoods is shameful - Wales deserves better.

Mae pobl yn Gaza yn parhau i gael eu llofruddio a’u newynnu gan Israel.

Galwodd @anndaviesplaid.bsky.social ar Lywodraeth y DU i atal masnach, ond dim ond sôn am gytundebau’r *dyfodol* wnaeth yr Ysgrifennydd Tramor.

Mae’r DU yn osgoi ei chyfrifoldeb moesol i roi terfyn ar yr erchyllterau hyn.

Civilians in Gaza continue to face murder and starvation by Israel.

@anndaviesplaid.bsky.social called on the UK Government to suspend current trading but the Foreign Secretary only spoke of *future* agreements.

The UK is dodging its moral responsibility to put an end to these atrocities.

Siomedig iawn bod Llyw Llafur Cymru wedi anwybyddu ein cymunedau ac yn caniatáu i ddatblygwyr masnachol adeliadu fferm solar 650-erw ar dir ffermio da.

Mae cynhyrchu ynni gwyrdd yn hanfodol, ond nid os yw’n dirywio ein cymunedau, ffermydd a twristiaeth.

Very disappointed that Labour’s Welsh Gov have ignored our communities and allowed commercial developers to build a 650-acre solar farm on good agricultural land on Ynys Môn.

Clean energy is vital, but not at the cost of our communities, farming & tourism.

When the 50 richest families in the UK hold more wealth than 50% of the population, something has to change.

Yet by 2029, Wales is forcasted to have the HIGHEST rate of child poverty in the UK…

A very small wealth tax on the ultra-wealthy could do so much to protect our kids.

Plaid Cymru @plaidcymru.bsky.social · Aug 22

⚠ While people struggle to make ends meet, the super-rich aren't paying their fair share.

💸 A 2% wealth tax on assets over £10m could raise £24bn a year - but Labour refuse to introduce it!

📢 It's time to tax extreme wealth and build a fairer system for all!

First it was the nationalisation of steel in Scunthorpe, now it’s Yorkshire.

But where was the urgency of this Labour UK Government when thousands of jobs were on the line in Port Talbot?

Yet another example of Wales being treated unfairly. Our steel communities deserve more.

Dwi’n falch o fod yn rhan o Blaid gydwybodol sydd yn barod i gondemio hil-laddiad a galw ar lywodraeth Israel i rhoi’r gorau i’r erchyllterau yn erbyn pobl Gaza.
