How good is the Chancellors announcement for Wales when it comes to railways?
Turns out it's not as good as the headlines suggested...

Last week I visited Canley Food Hub, where the impact of the cost-of-living crisis is all too clear.
Grateful to the team for their vital support — but in a country as wealthy as ours, no-one should be left struggling to put food on the table.

Renting is killing the UK economy.
More than 6m of the UK's 40m adults live in Private rented accomodation an increase of more than 200% from 25 years ago.
Most of their free money goes on their rent often to companies located in tax havens.
All of it is lost.

I just voted for the Renters Rights Bill to ban no-fault evictions & hold landlords to account — vital steps toward recognising housing as a right.
To truly solve the housing crisis, we need rent controls & a new generation of council housing for secure affordable homes for all.

Scotland keeps the profits from its natural resources – so why doesn’t Wales?
Plaid Cymru has tabled an amendment to the Crown Estate Bill which would ensure that Welsh natural wealth stays in our communities.
