The social media ban for U16s is welcome to protect the safety and wellbeing of children. Buy we still don’t know the full consequences for platforms that fail to conform with these new regulations. I will continue to press for further details to ensure that this ban is delivered effectively.

Mae gwahardd cyfryngau cymdeithasol i blant dan 16 oed i’w groesawu i ddiogelu ac amddiffyn lles plant. Er hyn, mae’n aneglur beth fydd y goblygiadau llawn i blatfformau sy’n methu â chydymffurfio â’r rheoliadau newydd. Byddaf yn pwyso am fanylion pellach fel bod modd ei weithredu’n effeithiol.

After months of destruction, bloodshed and global instability, the proposed agreement to end this war is welcome news. But peace cannot be selective. A lasting settlement must include an end to Israel's occupation in Lebanon. Peace means peace.

Plaid Cymru yw'r unig blaid fydd wastad yn brwydro dros fuddiannau cymunedau Cymru, oherwydd does gennym ni ddim penaethiaid yn San Steffan. Pleidleisiwch dros Plaid Cymru heddiw am lywodraeth fydd wastad yn sefyll i fyny dros Gymru.

This election is a tight race between Plaid Cymru and Reform. The people of Wales are ready for change - only Plaid Cymru is offering hope and real solutions to the challenges our nation faces. The only way to stop Reform’s hate and division is to vote Plaid Cymru on 7 May.

Trwch blewyn sydd rhwng Plaid Cymru a Reform yn yr etholiad hwn. Mae pobl Cymru yn barod am newid - dim ond Plaid Cymru sy'n cynnig gobaith ac atebion go iawn i'r heriau sy'n wynebu ein cenedl. Yr unig ffordd i atal casineb Reform yw pleidleisio dros Blaid Cymru ar 7 Mai.

Rachel Reeves has pledged to support 'those who need it most'. But there was no mention of support for struggling small businesses. Small businesses in rural areas are being hammered by the rise in oil and alternative fuel costs. The UK Government must step in.

Mae Rachel Reeves wedi addo cefnogi'r 'rhai sydd ei angen fwyaf'. Ond doedd dim sôn am gefnogaeth i fusnesau bach sy'n ei chael hi'n anodd. Mae busnesau bach mewn ardaloedd gwledig yn cael eu heffeithio'n fawr gan y cynnydd mewn costau olew a thanwydd amgen. Rhaid i Lywodraeth y DU ymyrryd.

Extra support during this time of soaring costs is welcome That’s why Plaid Cymru called on UK Government to act over a week ago Off-grid households in rural areas are being hit hardest by this crisis and we must ensure that they are included in any solutions

Mae Ceredigion Preseli gyda’r uchaf yn y DU o ran nifer y cartrefi oddi ar y grid a bydd pobl yn cael eu heffeithio’n fawr gan gost cynyddol olew. Rydw i wedi annog Llywodraeth y DU i edrych ar frys ar fesurau i helpu pobl gan gynnwys taliad uniongyrchol a thynnu TAW oddi ar olew gwresogi ac LPG.

Ceredigion Preseli has one of the highest numbers of off-grid households in the UK and people will be hit hard by the soaring cost of oil. I’ve urged the UK Government to implement short-term measures such as a direct payment or the exemption of VAT on heating oil to provide immediate relief.

Heating oil prices have more than doubled in the UK since war broke out: that’s 4.5m people living off gas grid, no they haven’t all got Agas, and in places like Cumbria and Scottish islands that’s a lot of anxious pensioners. (Difference with post-Ukraine is oil as well as gas spiking this time)

“It cannot be right that an individual who has graduated, who went to university to learn skills, then goes on to work, pay their taxes, and still never manages to clear even the interest on their student debt.” We need a rethink on student loan repayments. @benlake.bsky.social

Plediodd cyn-arweinydd Reform yng Nghymru, Nathan Gill, yn euog o dderbyn llwgrwobrwyon gan Rwsia. Mae angen deddfwriaeth gryfach i’n amddiffyn rhag ymyrraeth dramor. Ond mae’n alwg o’u absenoldeb nad oes gan Reform ddiddordeb mewn dysgu o gamgymeriadau’r gorffennol.

Reform’s ex-leader in Wales, Nathan Gill, was found guilty of accepting Russian bribes. We need stronger legislation to protect our democracy from foreign interference. But Reform’s absence from this week’s debate shows they aren’t interested in learning from past failures.

Plaid Cymru MP Ben Lake has criticised Reform UK for being “absent” from a parliamentary debate on Russian interference, in the wake of the jailing of its former Welsh leader Nathan Gill for “treachery" Lake was speaking in a Westminster Hall debate on Monday re the petition on Russian interference

Siomedig dros ben. Mae menywod a anwyd yn y 1950au wedi dioddef ansicrwydd a chaledi ariannol - heb yn fai arnyn nhw. Maen nhw’n haeddu’r iawndal teg maent wedi ymgyrchu mor ddiwyd drosto. Dyw ymddiheuriad gwan ddim yn ddigon da.

Deeply disappointing. 1950s-born women have endured real financial hardship and uncertainty through no fault of their own. They deserve fair and just compensation. An apology simply won’t cut it.

AI presents benefits, but with an arms race between tech giants, we must adopt a safety-first approach. Experts warn that so called ‘superintelligence’ could put human safety at risk - that is why an international strategy is needed to protect against unintended consequences.

Mae manteision i AI, ond gyda rhyw fath o ras arfau rhwng cwmnïau mawr, mae’n rhaid rhoi diogelwch yn gyntaf. Mae arbenigwyr yn rhybuddio y gallai'r hyn a elwir yn ‘superintelligence’ beryglu ein diogelwch. Dyna pam mae angen strategaeth ryngwladol i'n amddiffyn rhag goblygiadau anfwriadol.

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.

The extent to which the news media cycle is focusing on Reform rather than the wider strategic goals of Plaid Cymru as the party that actually won is a sign that much of the media and political establishment is going to again end up blindsided by trends that were visible long before

Thirty years ago, horses died and a girl’s gums turned green in West Wales. The cause? Lead poisoning. Now, it’s happening again. Episode 1 of Untold: Toxic Legacy is out now. 🎧 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

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'r argyfwng dyngarol yn Gaza yn gwaethygu bob dydd. Mae gan y DU gyfrifoldeb moesol a chyfreithiol i sicrhau bod Israel yn cydymffurfio â chyfraith ryngwladol. Rhaid parhau i roi pwysau ar Lywodraeth y DU i wneud popeth o fewn ei gallu i roi diwedd ar yr erchyllterau a welwn yn Gaza.

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is worsening by the day. The UK Government has a moral and legal responsibility to ensure Israel complies with international law. We must continue to put pressure on the UK Government to do everything in its power to put an end to the atrocities seen in Gaza.

Newyddion gwych i borthladd Abergwaun, sy’n chwarae rhan hanfodol yn economi gogledd Sir Benfro. Mae’r buddsoddiad yma’n sicr i’w groesawu!

Fantastic news for Fishguard port which is a critical part of the economy of north Pembrokeshire. The significant investment by @stenaline.bsky.social is most welcome!

“£445 million doesn’t scratch the surface” Labour once acknowledged that Wales is owed billions to address decades of chronic underinvestment in rail infrastructure. Now, they’re moving the goalposts, leaving Wales shortchanged once again.

“Dyw £445 miliwn ddim hyd yn oed yn crafu’r wyneb” Fe wnaeth Llafur gydnabod bod biliynau’n ddyledus i Gymru yn sgil degawdau o danfuddsoddi difrif yn ein seilwaith rheilffyrdd. Nawr, maen nhw’n newid y meini prawf gan adael Cymru ar ei cholled unwaith eto.

O HS2 i’r prosiect Rhydychen-Caergrawnt diweddaraf, mae Cymru ar ei cholled dan Lafur. Pam bod y Prif Weinidog mor barod i amddiffyn Starmer a Reeves pan ddylai hi fod yn sefyll cornel Cymru?

From HS2 to the most recent Oxford-Cambridge rail line, Wales is being ripped off by Labour. Why is the Labour First Minister scrambling to defend Starmer and Reeves when she should be standing up for Wales?

Someone get Labour a map. The UK Government claims an Oxford-Cambridge rail line benefits Wales - cutting us out of millions in funding. Scotland and Northern Ireland get their fair share. Why is Labour short-changing Wales?

Keir Starmer’s “island of strangers” rhetoric is reckless and divisive. In Wales, as across the UK, social care is in crisis. The solution is not to turn on migrant workers, but to invest in training, raise wages, and improve working conditions. 🗣️ @benlake.bsky.social

Pan roedd 2,800 o swyddi ar fin cael eu colli ym Mhort Talbot, dewisodd Llywodraeth y DU beidio ag ystyried gwladoli. Nawr yn Scunthorpe, maen nhw’n ystyried pob opsiwn. Rhaid i Lafur nawr esbonio i bobl de Cymru pam nad oedd eu swyddi nhw yn werth eu hachub.

When 2,800 jobs were being lost in Port Talbot, this UK Government chose not to consider nationalisation. Now in Scunthorpe, everything is on the table. Labour must now explain to the people of south Wales why their jobs weren’t worth saving.

Number crunching: Cuts to health and disability benefit, and reduction in financial support for carers v unpaid care carried out every year. From the new Private Eye, out now.
