🚆in 🏴 get £34 BILLION
🚆in 🏴 get £300 million
It’s not just Plaid Cymru saying it, experts in the field of transport like Prof. Mark Barry are calling for an end to this injustice.
Devolving rail in full to Wales is the only way to ensure we get the fairness we deserve.

AI presents benefits, but with an arms race between tech giants, we must adopt a safety-first approach.
Experts warn that so called ‘superintelligence’ could put human safety at risk - that is why an international strategy is needed to protect against unintended consequences.

Labour is refusing to give Wales billions in rail funding - money that Wales deserves.
Instead, Wales' money is going on projects in England.
Plaid Cymru will always fight for Wales is owed.

The UK Railways Bill going through the House of Commons today does nothing to address the decades of underfunding of Welsh railways.
Plaid Cymru is clear: Welsh rail should be in Welsh hands.

Plaid Cymru acted to protect services, to stop sky-high council tax bill rises, support our NHS and to make sure the next Welsh Government is on a more sustainable position after the election next year.
It's time for new leadership in 2026 with a Plaid Cymru Government.

If passed as is, Labour's Welsh Budget would be disastrous for our public services - and could lead to *double figure* Council Tax increases or thousands of job cuts. 🤯

Welsh workers will be disproportionately hit by Labour’s decision to freeze the thresholds on income tax.
This means less money in people’s pockets to cope with the cost of living.
Labour’s ‘partnership in power’ isn’t delivering for Wales at all 😔

Wales already generates twice as much energy as it consumes. Independence would allow Wales to take charge of its energy, ensuring Wales’ needs are prioritised over Westminster’s interests.
