HS2 is a Westminster rail project labelled 'England and Wales', despite not actually having any tracks laid in Wales... This means that Wales is contributing millions over the next 20 years towards building an English railway. ❌ Westminster really isn't working for Wales.

The First Minister has done very well compared to Boris Johnson BUT we should remember the Scotland game and Stereophonics gigs, the lack of PPE in care homes and the lack of testing generally. Just because the comparison is awful we should not turn our FM into a hero.

Plaid Cymru welcomes this publication today. We need to see a robust plan on how to develop those areas already devolved, and a timetable for Wales to join others in having justice devolved fully.

A justice system devolved to Wales would give the highest priority to tackling the 'shockingly low levels of convictions for rape and sexual assault', Welsh ministers have said.

Erthygl ‘Vanishing Welsh Cardiff’ Dangos pwysigrwydd yr ymgyrch i gadw hen enwau. Wnaeth colli enwau Cymraeg Penylan gyfrannu at y myth bod Caerdydd wastad wedi bod yn dre Seisnig. Trodd Nant Lleucu yn Roath brook. Arwyddwch y ddeiseb

Today in the Senedd I paid tribute to the late Tony Paris who sadly passed away last week. Tony Paris championed justice for all; Wales and the world will be a poorer place without him. His fight for justice will always be remembered.

This is only the latest in a series of anti-democratic moves by an increasingly disrespectful Westminster government. This has nothing to do with 'freedoms' and everything to do with undermining the democratic voice of the devolved nations.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Brexit is not working for Wales. 💷 It has cost us and the UK billions in lost trade and lost tax revenue. 🇪🇺 The current position of the Welsh Government and Labour in Westminster is not tenable - rejoining the single market needs to be on the table as an option.

Mae Llywodraeth Cymru'n ildio pŵer i'r Blaid Geidwadol yn San Steffan. Senedd Cymru dylai fod yn deddfu mewn meysydd datganoledig. We have a Welsh Government conceding power to the Conservative Party at Westminster. It's the Senedd that should be legislating in devolved areas.

The levelling-up fund under Michael Gove will be bypassing the Senedd. The UK Government have even said they'll only consult the elected government of the people of Wales 'when they consider it appropriate'. This is yet another power grab by the Tory Government in Westminster.

Yesterday, I meet the @HLConstitution at the Senedd. 55 years after the Aberfan disaster. I told them that the dock where @SeneddWales is located was filled with rubble from Aberfan. The foundation of Welsh democracy. It’s scandalous that we still have so many dangerous tips

On Saturday I had the honour of speaking at the protest outside the Senedd against building on Model Farm. What is happening to the Jenkins family is disgraceful. We need to amend the Future Generations Act so that communities can stand up and hold decision-makers accountable.

Sut y bydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn llwyddo gyda'u cynllun i ddatganoli cyfiawnder os na fydd eu Plaid Lafur yn San Steffan hyd yn oed ei gefnogi? How will Welsh Government succeed with their plan to devolve justice if their own Parliamentary Labour Party won't even support it?

Thinking today of my grandfather who worked as a train guard for 48 years. Solidarity with the workers of @RMTunion who are fighting for fair pay. I’m pleased as a @Plaid_Cymru elected member that I can show my support.
