Wales have passed the first stage of removing control of their stolen land from King Charles and renationalising it.

It is time the rest of the UK did the same.

Let him keep the title, take back the rest.

The more you look at it, the more the spending review looks like a bad deal for Wales in terms of rail.

Over 4 years Wales gets £348 million.

This is only £108 million (45%) more than spending on a single station in Leeds...

First HS2, now the Oxford-Cambridge line. 🤯😤

Wales is missing out on BILLIONS in rail funding - investment that is desperately needed to connect our communities.

Labour must pay up and give Wales what it's owed. 🗣️

This stuff about the Cambridge-Oxford ‘England and Wales’ railway scandal from @willhaycardiff.bsky.social is damning beyond words.

Evidence it has been recently reclassified from being an ‘England’ only project, robbing Wales of millions.

UK Govts (blue or red) treat #Wales abysmally.

The UK Treasury has screwed Wales again!

They've now classed a railway line running for Oxford to Cambridge as an "England and WALES" project.

This robs Wales over £300m+ whereas Scotland and NI get their cash.

It's a disgrace that this is still happening after the HS2 robbery.

My question clearly struck a nerve.

The faces of many Labour MPs told their own story – plenty of them know I was right.

If Starmer’s convictions change with the political weather, it’s no surprise that support for Labour is falling through the floor.
Cheap response from Starmer to a fully justified question from Plaid's Liz Saville-Roberts

Proud to hear Zoe Gardner praise Plaid Cymru ‘s approach to immigration on today’s BBC Radio Wales Phone In, in reaction to Starmer’s speech.

Labour’s language on this is shameful, their policy impractical and unfair, motivated by politics, not by what our economy and society needs.

A change of government under a Plaid Cymru First Minister will make a real difference to the people of Wales.

It's time for a government that stands up for Wales – from protecting Welsh steel to tackling poverty – not one that bends the knee to Westminster.

I think it’s hard to overstate the anger in parts of Wales that everything seems to be on the table with regards to saving steel making in Scunthorpe whereas this seemingly wasn’t the case for Port Talbot.

Just 12 months till the Senedd election.

Port Talbot’s blast furnaces have already been extinguished, because Labour let it happen.

The UK Government could have legislated to save Port Talbot, just as they are doing for Scunthorpe today.

Plaid Cymru will table an amendment to include Wales under the terms of this Bill.

As if on cue...

So, an industrial asset in Scunthorpe being closed down is an EMERGENCY! and worthy of interrupting the PM's Holidays.

But the Port Talbot Steelworks, and the Grangemouth Refinery are NOT an Emergency?

What could the difference be? 🤨

Keir Starmer says ‘all options are on the table’ for Scunthorpe – rightly so. But when Port Talbot faced crisis, those options were nowhere to be seen.

Labour mocked Plaid Cymru’s call for nationalisation in Wales.

We’ll be calling out this double standard tomorrow.
