A reminder.
Only 6.9% of people in Wales were born overseas.
Just 2.9% of people in Caerphilly were born overseas.
Whereas 38% of medical consultants in Wales were born overseas.
Immigrants are not holding our NHS back, they are propping it up.

Come on Caerphilly! Welsh voters were fooled by Farage’s lies into voting for his Brexshit before. Surely you won’t be fool enough to swallow his Reform shit again now. He does NOT care about Wales or Welsh issues. He would take all power back to Westminster.
Vote Plaid!
Pleidleisiwch Plaid!

The choice in #Caerphilly next week is clear.
✅ Lindsay Whittle - Mr Caerphilly himself - a lifelong champion for this community.
❌ Reform - only here to promote Nigel Farage and his interests.
🗳️ On 23 October, vote Plaid Cymru for a strong local voice and a better future for #Caerffili.

Reform candidate visibly squirms as he's confronted by a local family in Caerphilly.
👏 "We've lived here all our lives. And I have never felt so unwelcome in my own hometown as I do since your party came into Caerphilly."
"With all the rhetoric that you bring in, I have to say to my sons, please don't go there. Please don't do this."
"I blame you for that."

Delighted to confirm we are building a brand new primary school in Bettws, an £18m investment. All our children and staff deserve the best facilities. More investments in our schools to be announced in the coming months. (Disclaimer - the image is not a real representation 😂)

Amazing facilities, cutting-edge technology, and staff passionate about improving outcomes for patients.
This will support people in Newport and nearby, no need to travel for treatment.

It is 22 years ago today that my best friend, Nick Everton, died. He was 17 years old. Not much time to leave a mark on the world you would think.
But those of us who knew him came away irreversibly altered by even the short time we shared together....

Welcome news from the UK Labour Government’s Spending Review that £445 million for rail is coming to Wales. 🚆
More than we ever saw under the Tories.
