The United Kingdom simply is not working for the people of Wales. Plaid Cymru is demanding better for our nation – from fairer funding to powers to grow our economy. Dylai fod gennym yr hawl ddemocrataidd i benderfynu ar ein dyfodol ein hunain.

Dydy Cymru ddim yn cyrraedd ei photensial fel cenedl gan fod y Deyrnas Unedig, wrth ei gwraidd, yn gwbwl annheg. Mae Plaid Cymru yn galw am y tegwch a'r pwerau sydd eu hangen ar Gymru i adeiladu dyfodol mwy llewyrchus i'n cenedl a'n pobl.

Wales is being held back by a fundamentally unequal United Kingdom. Plaid Cymru is calling for the fairness and the powers Wales needs to build a more prosperous future for our nation and our people.

Devolving policing would bring services already run in Wales together to help keep our communities safer. By having a Plaid Cymru Government, we're already moving the dial and getting Westminster to listen. We’re ready to work with the Prime Minister and his Government to deliver for Wales.

Farage washing his hands of this mess by claiming he simply wasn’t listening. For someone who claims to know electoral law “better than anyone”, he’s recently been embroiled in several investigations into Reform’s donations. Can that truly be down to carelessness?

Plaid Cymru believes that bringing power closer to people provides better outcomes. The PM does too, saying just last week he was open to devolving policing to Wales for that reason. But after strong opposition from Welsh Labour MPs, he seems to be changing his tune on giving Wales more powers.

The people of Wales gave Plaid Cymru a mandate to move our nation forward and secure the powers our communities need to thrive. Andy Burnham has placed devolution at the heart of his agenda - we stand ready to work with him to ensure that his warm words are turned into action.

Plaid Cymru has long argued that policing should be devolved to Wales so this is a welcome change in tone. By having a Plaid Cymru Government, we've managed to move the dial more effectively with the UK Government to secure more powers and deliver a fairer deal for Wales.

Andy Burnham says he is 'open' to devolving policing in Wales

Andy Burnham said it was a "good time" to look at issues like policing during his visit to Wales.

Wales elected a Plaid Cymru Government for a more prosperous future and a stronger Welsh voice. If Andy Burnham is serious about problem-solving over point-scoring, he should work with Plaid Cymru to turn the mandate for more powers into lasting progress for our nation.

Reform’s ex-Welsh leader Nathan Gill was jailed for taking pro-Russian bribes 9 months ago. Now, Reform branches are openly siding with Putin. Rewarding such aggression is no route to peace. Plaid Cymru will continue to stand with Ukraine against Russia’s imperialist actions.

Nigel Farage made a mockery of the electoral system by demanding a by-election to avoid being held to account - and then refused to attend the count to avoid mockery himself. Whatever the actions of a desperate egotist, he cannot avoid scrutiny forever.

This is an important step for devolution in England, bringing power closer to people. But Andy Burnham’s plans shouldn’t stop at Offa’s Dyke. Wales needs more powers over rail, the Crown Estate and justice and policing so that our communities have the means to thrive.

Plaid Cymru has long argued that the role of Secretary of State for Wales is outdated and doesn't reflect the realities of devolution. I hope Stephen Kinnock proves us wrong by showing that the office can be more than Westminster’s voice in Wales.

Another Prime Minister goes and a new one enters No. 10. Congratulations to Andy Burnham on his appointment. We stand ready to work constructively with the new PM to ensure the potential of devolution is unlocked to truly improve the lives of people in Wales.

With Andy Burnham becoming Labour’s new leader, we hope to see a more respectful relationship between Wales and Westminster. While he has talked the talk on devolution, it’s now time for him to walk the walk by respecting Wales's mandate for more powers and delivering on it.

What could Andy Burnham's premiership mean for Wales?

A plan to devolve powers to councils could put him on collision course with the Welsh government.

This is the right decision, but the news will be bittersweet for many in Wales. The same UK Government that took emergency steps to save steelworks in Scunthorpe failed to act with urgency to save thousands of jobs in Port Talbot. Double standards have cost Welsh communities.

Let's see what Labour are walking away from here: - £145m to cut NHS waiting lists - £120m for ALN - £55m for childcare - £15m for free school meals The people of Wales may have rejected Labour in May, but that doesn't mean Labour should reject their priorities today.

Labour won't be supporting Plaid's budget today. They are calling on Plaid to withdraw it, make changes and bring it back in the summer. I understand the Greens plan to support the budget but without Labour support as well it will fail.

This is outright discrimination from Reform. It shows a stubborn ignorance of the advantages of bilingualism and multilingualism, and exposes Reform's politics as a tyranny of the majority when it comes to use of language.

Labour’s Immigration and Asylum Bill fails to tackle the real issues within the system. It undermines people’s rights, including those of innocent children. We need a controlled and compassionate system that helps people integrate into our communities. That’s why Plaid Cymru voted against it.

Dyw Mesur Mewnfudo a Lloches Llafur ddim yn mynd i’r afael â’r problemau go iawn o fewn y system. Mae’n tanseilio hawliau pobl, gan gynnwys plant diniwed. Mae angen system deg sy’n cael ei rheoli arnom sy’n helpu pobl i integreiddio i’n cymunedau. Dyna pam y pleidleisiodd Plaid Cymru yn ei erbyn.

Mae’r newyddion am lofruddiaeth Ann Widdecombe yn erchyll. Ni ddylai unrhyw AS fyw mewn ofn a rhaid i fesurau fod yn eu lle i'w gwarchod. Mae ymgysylltu'n uniongyrchol ag etholwyr yn rhan allweddol o’n democratiaeth - rhaid i ni gydweithio i amddiffyn y gwerthoedd hyn.

The news of Ann Widdecombe’s murder is deeply shocking. No MP should live in fear of violence, and safeguards must be in place to protect them. Engaging directly with constituents is a key part of our democracy and we must work together to protect these values.

The Welsh Government has rightly chosen to invest in tackling child poverty. No UK Government should have the power to claw that money back from struggling families. The idea that Whitehall could even consider preventing Welsh children from receiving £10 a week is scandalous.

Labour's 2026 manifesto committed to reforming the Barnett Formula and create a needs-based funding system for Wales. But yesterday they joined Reform and the Tories to vote against Plaid Cymru’s call for fair funding. They've learnt nothing - it's party before country yet again.
