Labour’s measures today fall short of what was needed.
Welsh families won’t feel any difference in their pockets and will continue to be burdened with mounting costs.

The extent to which the news media cycle is focusing on Reform rather than the wider strategic goals of Plaid Cymru as the party that actually won is a sign that much of the media and political establishment is going to again end up blindsided by trends that were visible long before
That scene of the Welsh BBC correspondent being the only person interviewing Caerphilly's new Plaid AM while the rest of the media interviewed Reform's loser in the background was far too on the nose.

It is shocking that over a third of children in Wales are living in poverty and this number is projected to rise.
Scrapping the two-child benefit cap has been reported to be the most effective way of lifting children out of poverty but Labour has refused to reverse this damaging Tory policy.

Mae'n warthus bod dros draean o blant Cymru yn byw mewn tlodi ac mae disgwyl i'r nifer hwn godi.
Mae adroddiadau yn dangos mai diddymu’r cap dau blentyn yw'r ffordd fwyaf effeithiol o godi plant allan o dlodi ond mae Llafur wedi gwrthod gwrthdroi'r polisi Torïaidd niweidiol hwn.

Keir Starmer’s “island of strangers” rhetoric is reckless and divisive.
In Wales, as across the UK, social care is in crisis. The solution is not to turn on migrant workers, but to invest in training, raise wages, and improve working conditions.
