I welcome the decision to investigate Russian interference in UK politics. I raised this in Parliament in October, regarding Nathan Gill, the former Reform UK Wales leader who has since been jailed for bribery. Protecting our democracy ahead of elections is essential.

We’re delighted to welcome @llinosmedi.bsky.social to our Parliamentary Champions network! 🤝 Llinos met with us recently to discuss how she can further support the ME community, having experienced the devastating impact of #MECFS through her constituency work and APPG on ME. ⬇️ #MyalgicE

The Digital ID scheme is costly, unclear and intrusive - and Plaid Cymru opposes the proposal to introduce this scheme. I spoke in Westminster Hall yesterday to raise my constituents’ concerns about #digitalid

ID Digidol Mae’r cynllun ID Digidol yn gostus, aneglur ac yn amhoblogaidd - mae Plaid Cymru’n gwrthwynebu’r cynnig i gyflwyno’r cynllun hwn. Siaradais yn Neuadd Westminster ddoe i godi eich pryderon am ID Digidol. Gwrandewch ar yr araith 👇

Roedd yr hyn a glywsom yn y Pwyllgor Materion Cymreig ddydd Mercher yn peri pryder. Tydy cydraddoldeb rhwng y Gymraeg a’r Saesneg ddim yn ddewisol - mae’n ofyniad cyfreithiol. Yn amlwg nid yw hyn yn wir yn ein carchardai. Mae angen cywiro hynny. shorturl.at/gqInC

What we heard in the Welsh Affairs Committee on Wednesday was concerning. Equality between Welsh and English isn’t optional - it’s a legal requirement. But clearly this isn’t the case in our prisons. That needs fixing. shorturl.at/gqInC

Reform’s former leader in Wales, Nathan Gill, has been sentenced to over ten years in prison after he took bribes to spread pro-Russian propaganda. Wales stands with Ukraine. It’s time for a full investigation into Russian interference in our democracy. @llinosmedi.bsky.social

Welsh language rights should be equal to English in all public sector settings in Wales. In yesterday’s Welsh Affairs Committee, we had the opportunity to discuss the Welsh Language Commissioners’ concerns about the rights of the Welsh language in prisons. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Dylid hawliau’r Gymraeg fod yn gyfartal â’r Saesneg ym mhob sector cyhoeddus yng Nghymru. Fel Pwyllgor Materion Cymreig ddoe, cawsom gyfle i drafod pryderon Comisiynydd y Gymraeg am hawliau’r Gymraeg mewn carchardai. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Tydy Llywodraeth y DU heb gynnal asesiad o effaith newidiadau treth etifeddiaeth ar Gymru. Felly neithiwr, pleidleisiais yn erbyn treth barhaol Llafu ar ffermydd teuluol. Mae parhau heb gynnal asesiad o’r effaith ar ein cymunedau yn annerbyniol. #InheritanceTax #FamilyFarmTax

The UK Government has not conducted an assessment of the impact of inheritance tax changes on Wales. So last night, I voted against Labour’s continued family farm tax. Pushing ahead without knowing the impact on our communities is not acceptable. #InheritanceTax #FamilyFarmTax

Gwych gweld dros 100,000 o bobl yn amddiffyn ein democratiaeth, ac y canrannau uchaf o Gymru💪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Yn sgil carcharu cyn-arweinydd Reform yng Nghymru am dderbyn llwgrwobrwyon, mae’n hollbwysig bod ymchwiliad trylwyr yn digwydd.

Great to see over 100,000 people defending our democracy, with the highest percentages in Wales 💪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Following the imprisonment of a former Reform leader in Wales for accepting bribes, it’s vital that a thorough investigation into Russian influence on UK politics now takes place

Wales is a net exporter of energy - yet people here still pay some of the highest energy bills in the UK. Today’s Budget changes none of that. We deserve fairness, and control over our own resources.

Mae troadau pedol diddiwedd a straeon heb eu cadarnhau yn y wasg yn niweidio hyder y cyhoedd cyn Cyllideb ddydd Mercher. Pan fo gwasanaethau cyhoeddus eisoes ar eu gliniau, mae anhrefn Llafur wedi gwaethygu pethau. Mae Cymru'n haeddu gwell. @llinosmedi.bsky.social

Mae dedfryd o 10.5 mlynedd yn adlewyrchu difrifoldeb y sefyllfa. Dylai unrhyw un sy’n ceisio defnyddio arian amheus, i erydu ein democratiaeth, wynebu'r canlyniadau. Rhaid amddiffyn ein democratiaeth. www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-n...

A 10.5-year sentence reflects the seriousness of what happened. Anyone trying to use outside money to corrode our democracy should face the consequences. Our democracy must be protected. www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-n...

Mae gofynion Plaid Cymru o Gyllideb Hydref Llywodraeth yn glir - mae angen sicrhau tegwch i Gymru. Ond mae Llywodraeth Lafur Cymru wedi gwrthod ein galwadau. Maen nhw wedi rhoi'r gorau i sefyll cornel Cymru. ❌ Dim ond Plaid Cymru sydd yn sefyll fyny dros ein cymunedau. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿💚

Plaid Cymru's demands of the UK Government's Autumn Statement are clear - we need a budget that delivers for Wales. Meanwhile, the Labour Welsh Government have rejected our calls. They've truly given up. Only Plaid Cymru stands up for our communities. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿💚

Thanks to poor decisions by Westminster - Wales has suffered the biggest fall in jobs and the highest rise in unemployment in the UK. 
Plaid Cymru warned this would happen and now we’re paying the price. Hopefully we’ll see a fairer tax system in the upcoming Budget… www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“For every £1 of licence fee funding received by S4C, £1.59 was generated for the Welsh economy.” Roedd mwy na 75% o wariant S4C yng Nghymru. Mae hyn yn dangos pwysigrwydd S4C, a’r effaith gadarnhaol sydd ganddi ar ein cymunedau, ein heconomi leol, ein hiaith a’n diwylliant. shorturl.at/mxDAx

“For every £1 of licence fee funding received by S4C, £1.59 was generated for the Welsh economy.” More than 75% of S4C’s spending was in Wales. This shows the importance of S4C, and the positive impact it has on our communities, local economy, language and culture. shorturl.at/mxDAx

Llongyfarchiadau anferthol i Lindsay Whittle 💚 The people of Caerffili have elected an outstanding local champion who will work tirelessly for them and for the communities of Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🙌🏼

On 21st of October 1966, 116 children and 28 adults were killed in the horrific Aberfan disaster, caused by the failure of the National Coal Board. Today, we remember those who lost their lives and stand with the community of Aberfan now and always. Never again.

Ar 21 Hydref 1966, lladdwyd 116 o blant a 28 o oedolion yn nhrychineb erchyll Aberfan, a achoswyd gan fethiant y Bwrdd Glo Cenedlaethol. Heddiw, rydym yn cofio'r rhai a gollodd eu bywydau ac yn sefyll gyda chymuned Aberfan nawr a bob amser. Byth eto. #CofiwnAberfan.

Fe wnaeth cyn-arweinydd Reform yng Nghymru, Nathan Gill, bledio’n euog i dderbyn llwgrwobrwyon gan Rwsia. Mae atebolrwydd ac ymddiriedaeth yn rhan hollbwysig o’n democratiaeth ac nid oes lle i ymyrraeth o’r fath yng ngwleidyddiaeth Cymru.

Plaid Cymru MP Llinos Medi has urged the UK Government to strengthen safeguards against foreign interference in politics, following revelations that former Reform UK leader in Wales, Nathan Gill, accepted bribes from Russian operatives

Reform’s ex-leader in Wales, Nathan Gill, pleaded guilty to accepting bribes from Russia. Our democracy depends on trust and accountability, and this kind of foreign interference has no place in Welsh politics.

Powerful. A party built on hatred and division has no place in Wales. Vote Plaid Cymru to stop Reform. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Plaid Cymru has accused the UK Government of sidelining rural communities in its flagship Pride in Place regeneration scheme, warning that the funding model is “excluding rural Wales by design”

Today’s Caerphilly specific poll shows clearly that unless progressive voters unite with Plaid Cymru, Reform will win. Greens, Lib Dems and disillusioned Labour supporters - by uniting, we can stop Reform’s division taking root in Wales and deliver positive change 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

The majority of communities on Ynys Môn will lose out on UK Government funding, with the ‘Pride in Place’ scheme designed for neighbourhoods of around 10,000 people. Our rural communities, that are in desperate need of investment, are once again being forgotten by Labour.

Ni fydd y rhan fwyaf o gymunedau ar Ynys Môn yn gymwys am gyllid gan Lywodraeth y DU gan bod y cynllun ‘Balchder Bro’ wedi’i dargedu ar gyfer cymdogaethau o tua 10,000 o bobl. Mae ein cymuendau gwledig, sydd angen buddsoddiad go iawn, unwaith eto’n cael eu hanghofio gan Lafur.

A year ago, Plaid Cymru outlined plans for a Welsh wealth fund. Earlier this year, I tabled the amendments to the Crown Estate Bill to make it a possibility... …but Labour MPs voted against it. Only Plaid Cymru truly stands up for Wales. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Rhwystrodd Llafur ymgais Plaid Cymru i ddatganoli Ystâd y Goron i Gymru, gan addo comisiynydd yn lle. 10 mis ar ôl yr addewid hwnnw, nid yw’r broses recriwtio hyd yn oed wedi dechrau. Mae Llafur yn benderfynol i elw o adnoddau Cymru aros yn San Steffan, nid cymunedau Cymru. shorturl.at/nV8y7

Labour blocked Plaid Cymru’s proposals to devolve the Crown Estate, promising instead a commissioner for Wales. 10 months on from that pledge, the recruitment process hasn’t even started. Labour wants profits from Welsh resources to stay in Westminster, not Welsh communities. shorturl.at/nV8y7

Most workers would be sacked if they treated a full-time job as a part-time gig. Farage has raked in nearly £1 million from outside work - over ten times his MP salary. Clacton is being treated with contempt. We must not let the same happen to Wales. www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-n...

Fantastic article by Archbishop Cotrell reminding us how detrimental and unecessary the two-child benefit cap is… “You only get one childhood. If it’s blighted, you may never recover. If so many lives are blighted in this way, the whole of society suffers.” shorturl.at/orTbI

Enghraifft arall o Gymru'n cael ei thrin yn annheg. Mae ein cymunedau dur yn haeddu mwy.

Another example of Wales being treated unfairly. Our steel communities deserve more.

Mae pobl yn Gaza yn parhau i gael eu llofruddio a’u newynnu gan Israel. Galwodd @anndaviesplaid.bsky.social ar Lywodraeth y DU i atal masnach, ond dim ond sôn am gytundebau’r *dyfodol* wnaeth yr Ysgrifennydd Tramor. Mae’r DU yn osgoi ei chyfrifoldeb moesol i roi terfyn ar yr erchyllterau hyn.

Civilians in Gaza continue to face murder and starvation by Israel. @anndaviesplaid.bsky.social called on the UK Government to suspend current trading but the Foreign Secretary only spoke of *future* agreements. The UK is dodging its moral responsibility to put an end to these atrocities.

Siomedig iawn bod Llyw Llafur Cymru wedi anwybyddu ein cymunedau ac yn caniatáu i ddatblygwyr masnachol adeliadu fferm solar 650-erw ar dir ffermio da. Mae cynhyrchu ynni gwyrdd yn hanfodol, ond nid os yw’n dirywio ein cymunedau, ffermydd a twristiaeth. shorturl.at/ByeIl

Very disappointed that Labour’s Welsh Gov have ignored our communities and allowed commercial developers to build a 650-acre solar farm on good agricultural land on Ynys Môn. Clean energy is vital, but not at the cost of our communities, farming & tourism. shorturl.at/ByeIl

Farage’s promise to scrap the pledge of a million Welsh speakers by 2050 is an insult to the people of Wales. Our language is key to our identity, our history and our future. Reform shows no regard for Wales. nation.cymru/news/reforms...

When the 50 richest families in the UK hold more wealth than 50% of the population, something has to change. Yet by 2029, Wales is forcasted to have the HIGHEST rate of child poverty in the UK… A very small wealth tax on the ultra-wealthy could do so much to protect our kids.

First it was the nationalisation of steel in Scunthorpe, now it’s Yorkshire. But where was the urgency of this Labour UK Government when thousands of jobs were on the line in Port Talbot? Yet another example of Wales being treated unfairly. Our steel communities deserve more.
