The Senedd election in 2026 comes against the backdrop of a deepening housing emergency in Wales,

That is why our manifesto calls for housing to be a foundation mission of government to ensure everyone in Wales can access a safe, suitable and affordable home.

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666 times more than the company's median employee in 2024.

Worth thinking about before you buy your next caramel spiced latte.

But Trump/Farage will have you beleive that the wealth gap is due to immigration.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.
