Caerphilly’s result is a turning point. Loyalty politics has died.

Communities are demanding service, not slogans.

I wrote about what this shift means for Wales.

Coal mining shaped the south Wales valleys but it also left a dangerous legacy.

Abandoned coal tips still threaten our communities, as shown by recent landslides.

The UK Government must commit to fully funding remediation work.

Coalmining has defined the south Wales valleys for centuries, with towns and villages built on pride, community and hard work by generation after generation.

💚 Plaid Cymru’s seismic win in Caerphilly shows that people in Wales are ready for real change.

Plaid Cymru is calling for a wealth tax and the scrapping of the two-child cap ahead of the UK Government’s budget next month.

We are the only party fighting for fairness and ambition for Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

The right call it a £55m waste, but that's a lie.

• 80% supported Ukrainians

• The rest went to schools, health and language classes

Not a drain. Not a waste. Decency.

Hope isn’t gone, it’s been stolen. By billionaires, by politicians, by a system designed to divide us.

But we can reclaim it.

The future we deserve won’t be handed to us, it must be fought for.

Caerphilly and Wales is at a crossroads - Plaid Cymru’s hope versus Reform’s division.

A vote for Lindsay Whittle in the Caerphilly by-election on 23 October 2025 is a chance to set Wales on a path for a fairer, more ambitious future that only Plaid Cymru offers. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

🚨Only Plaid Cymru can stop Reform in #Caerphilly!

Lindsay Whittle is a bold, trusted local voice who's always stood up for his community.

On 23 October, vote #PlaidCymru to give Caerphilly the representation it deserves ✊

Last night the Global Sumud Flotilla was intercepted by Israeli Forces, blatantly violating international law once again.

I have written to the UK Government urging them to ensure that all those, including my constituent Hannah Schafer, who have been detained, are safely released.

Change is coming to Welsh politics.

The choice is clear: Reform UK's division and hate, or Plaid Cymru's pro-Wales vision of hope and fairness.

Why should Wales settle for “almost equal”?

Devolution isn’t enough.

Parity isn’t the goal.

Equality with England. Control over our own future. That’s the bar.
