AS Ceredigion Preseli MP
Ahead of this Budget, @plaidcymru.bsky.social called for bold action to help households with the cost of living.

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.

Cyn y Gyllideb, galwodd @plaidcymru.bsky.social ar y Canghellor i weithredu go iawn i helpu cartrefi gyda chostau byw.

Mae’r mesurau a gyhoeddwyd gan Lafur heddiw yn bell o fod yn ddigon.

Fydd teuluoedd ledled Cymru ddim yn teimlo gwahaniaeth yn eu pocedi wrth iddynt barhau i wynebu costau uchel.

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.

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.

Neithiwr cafodd y Global Sumud Flotilla ei rhyng-gipio gan Luoedd Arfog Israel, gan dorri cyfraith ryngwladol unwaith eto.

Rydw i wedi ysgrifennu at Lywodraeth y DU i’w hannog i sicrhau bod pawb, gan gynnwys fy etholwr Hannah Schafer, yn cael eu rhyddhau'n ddiogel ac ar unwaith.

Mae Ystâd y Goron yr Alban yn cynhyrchu dros £100 miliwn yn flynyddol sy’n cael ei ail-fuddsoddi yng nghymunedau’r Alban.

Neithiwr, pleidleisiodd ASau Llafur yn erbyn cais Plaid Cymru i roi’r un pwerau i Gymru.

Scotland’s Crown Estate generates over £100 million annually which is reinvested into Scottish communities. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Last night, Labour MPs blocked Plaid Cymru’s bid to give Wales the same powers. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

It’s crucial that the UK Government’s ‘growth’ plan does not leave behind mid and west Wales. Promises have previously been made to Ceredigion Preseli that remain unfulfilled – I will be holding Ministers to account on behalf of constituents.

Mae’n hollbwysig nad yw cynllun ‘twf’ Llywodraeth y DU yn gadael canolbarth a gorllewin Cymru ar ôl. Mae addewidion a wnaed yn flaenorol i Geredigion Preseli sy’n parhau heb eu cyflawni – byddaf yn dwyn Gweinidogion i gyfrif ar ran etholwyr.

Mae Cymru yn dal i golli allan oherwydd HS2. Nid annhegwch hanesyddol yn unig yw hyn – bydd yn parhau i wasgu cyllid rheilffyrdd Cymru yn y dyfodol. Bydda' i'n parhau i fynnu’r £4 biliwn sy’n ddyledus i Gymru.

Wales is still short-changed because of HS2. The Great Welsh Train Robbery isn’t just a historic inequity – it will continue to squeeze Welsh rail funding to the future. I will continue to demand the £4 billion that Wales is owed.
