Responding to today's budget announcement, YesCymru Chair Phyl Griffiths said:

“Today’s Budget has shown that the promised ‘Red Welsh Way’ leads straight to a Westminster dead end.

The message is clear – Westminster will never work for Wales.”

Mae San Steffan yn anwybyddu Cymru.

Mae Llywodraeth Lafur San Steffan yn anwybyddu Llywodraeth Lafur Cymru.

Y gwir plaen – does dim arian ychwanegol i Gymru yn y Gyllideb.

Mae Lloegr yn cael ei hariannu, mae Cymru’n cael ei hanwybyddu.

Westminster ignores Wales.

Westminster Labour Government ignores Labour Welsh Government.

Bottom line - there is no extra cash for Wales in the Budget.

England gets funded, Wales gets ignored.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Wales needs all the levers of power in order to thrive.

We can only get those levers via independence.

It's that simple.

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.

Mae Cymru eisoes yn cynhyrchu dwywaith cymaint o ynni ag y mae’n ei ddefnyddio. Byddai annibyniaeth yn caniatáu i Gymru gymryd rheolaeth dros ei ynni, gan sicrhau bod anghenion Cymru yn cael blaenoriaeth dros fuddiannau San Steffan.
