Series of measures outlined by MPs to ‘ensure that Welsh communities receive the support they need’

Today (Tuesday 31 March) Plaid Cymru have urged the UK Government to put a series of measures in place to support households and businesses in Wales who are facing higher costs as a result of the war in Iran.

People can have “a government that stands up for Wales in a way that’s never been seen before” - that is the message delivered by Plaid Cymru Leader Rhun ap Iorwerth MS as he prepares to launch his party’s Senedd Elections campaign in Caerffili.

Friends,

It is fantastic to be here today in the city of Glasgow.

A city that has been through a tough couple of weeks.

But just as it always does, Glasgow is bouncing back.

The city has come together.

Plaid Cymru’s Westminster leader Liz Saville Roberts has warned that UK Government plans to limit energy bill support could leave Welsh households disproportionately exposed, as Chancellor Rachel Reeves prepares to outline new principles for assistance.

The people of Wales are ready for new leadership, party leader Rhun ap Iorwerth has said during the final First Minister’s Questions of the Sixth Senedd term ahead of the election on 7 May.

Plaid Cymru has blasted Labour for failing to stand up for Wales after they voted against calls to urge the UK Government to “not make spending decisions in Wales when they are opposed by the Welsh Government.”

Plaid Cymru leader Rhun ap Iorwerth MS has warned that a number of households in Wales will not be eligible for support and will face hardship as a result.

Plaid Cymru promises always stand up for Wales if elected to government

Plaid Cymru has said that Labour can no longer credibly describe itself as the ‘party of devolution’ following a leaked memo from the Prime Minister indicating a willingness to bypass the Senedd and Welsh Government.

It’s hard to believe eighteen months have passed since we last gathered in this hall.

And since then, we’ve made a lot of progress as a party.

But as you heard from Stephen Flynn this morning, I’m only just getting started.

We are on the eve of a crucial election.

I have been out campaigning with you all over Scotland, and here’s what I know and what I have seen.

We are ready.
