Latest ITV BarnCymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 poll confirms trend seen over last 6 months - neck and neck race between Plaid Cymru and Reform UK for largest party, with Labour falling to even more distant third. Evidence growing of distinct realignment in Wales 🧵

This is a really important report by the Senedd’s Climate Change committee, and I’m pleased I was able to contribute to it by asking the committee to undertake the inquiry, by providing evidence and also taking part in one day of scrutiny. 1/2 laiddocuments.senedd.wales/cr-ld17390-e...

Devastating to hear that Hefin David MS has died. On screen, we debated each other with gusto, always. Off screen, our conversations were filled with laughter, banter and kindness. My thoughts are with Vikki, his much loved children and family. He will be greatly missed.

Plaid Cymru has promises to increase spending year on year for culture, arts and sport in Wales if they win the next Senedd election

Excellent event at @eisteddfod.cymru this morning relating to our Thinking Differently: Autistic and ADHD Women and Girls campaign. Thank you @heleddfychan.bsky.social for leading the discussion & to the panel members for their powerful contributions - Vicky Powner, Non Parry and Sioned Thomas.

Trafodaeth bendigedig bore ‘ma yn @eisteddfod.cymru yn seiliedig ar ein hymgyrch Meddwl yn Wahanol: Merched Awtistig ac ag ADHD. Diolch @heleddfychan.bsky.social am arwain y trafodaeth ac i aelodau’r panel - Vicky Powner, Non Parry a Sioned Thomas.

Os ydych yn yr eisteddfod heddiw, dewch draw i Cymdeithasau 1 am 5pm heddiw os hoffech glywed mwy am weledigaeth y Blaid ar gyfer diwylliant a’r celfyddydau. Plaid Cymru'n addo mwy i'r celfyddydau os yn cael eu hethol www.bbc.com/cymrufyw/ert...

If you’re at the Eisteddfod today, I’ll be setting out Plaid Cymru’s vision for the arts and culture at 5pm, Cymdeithasau 1. Translation available. Plaid pledges to raise arts spend if it wins power www.bbc.com/news/article...

Gresynnu'n fawr am hyn. Da iawn @heleddfychan.bsky.social am ddwyn sylw at y gwendid enfawr hwn.

Siomedig nad oes stondin gan Amgueddfa Cymru ar faes yr eisteddfod eleni. Arbennig o bwysig mewn ardaloedd lle nad oes amgueddfa genedlaethol megis Wrecsam bod sefydliadau cenedlaethol yn dangos eu perthnasedd i’r ardal a chysylltu gyda cynulleidfaoedd newydd.

Great to welcome @heleddfychan.bsky.social to @oasiscdf.bsky.social this week to talk all things Nation of Sanctuary. Was fantastic for some of our clients to share their ideas #RefugeesWelcome

A really heartbreaking story from #Pontypridd of this young lad and his family dealing with early onset MND. Great that the crowdfunder has hit its first target - hopefully more will follow. Great work from local MS @heleddfychan.bsky.social for pushing this to WG! nation.cymru/news/family-...

Canlyniad arbennig i @plaidcymru.bsky.social ym Mhontypridd heno. Llongyfarchiadau anferthol @wiliamrees.bsky.social A great result for Plaid Cymru tonight!

Thanks to all funders and groups that came to our Funders Fair today. If you missed it and need support in finding funding, please get in touch. Diwrnod da yn ein ffair arianu heddiw. Diolch i bawb ddaeth. #Cynon #Senedd #RhonddaCynonTaf #SouthWalesCentral

Plaid Cymru, or Reform? 🤔 With each poll, it's becoming clearer that Plaid Cymru is the only party that can stand up to the rise of Reform across Wales. In 2026, vote for a Plaid Cymru government to give Wales the fresh start it needs. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿✨

Plaid Cymru, neu Reform? 🤔 Gyda pob pol, mae'n dod yn gliriach fyth mai dim ond Plaid Cymru all atal Reform rhag cipio grym yng Nghymru. Yn 2026, pleidleisiwch dros lywodraeth Plaid Cymru i roi'r dechrau newydd sydd wir ei hangen ar Gymru. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿✨

Great to see @arc-trust.bsky.social getting @heleddfychan.bsky.social out a couple of weeks ago to see the Great Crested Newt she champions. Big thank you to @nationaltrust.org.uk Dyffryn Gardens for hosting & well done to Heledd for working overtime & visiting the nocturnal critters in the dark!

Ymweliad gwych â @theatrclwyd.bsky.social gyda @rhunapiorwerth.bsky.social a @heleddfychan.bsky.social i weld y gwaith adeiladu yn dirwyn i ben. Bydd yn adnodd gwerthfawr i Ogledd Ddwyrain Cymru am genedlaethau yn rhagor. @plaidclwyd.bsky.social

A sensational new poll on voting intention at next year’s Senedd election has put Plaid Cymru in the lead with 30% of the vote - 12 points ahead of Labour on 18% and five points ahead of Reform UK on 25% ✍️Martin Shipton

51 bags! Thanks to all that came and helped with today’s riverbank clean along Berw Road and Sion Street in Pontypridd. Diolch i bawb ddaeth a helpu. 👏👏👏

With just over a year to go until the Senedd election, I’m pleased to share today that I have submitted my nomination for the new Pontypridd Cynon Merthyr seat.

Labour’s austerity-style cuts will impact the most vulnerable in our society. Bydd toriadau Llafur yn effeithio ar y rhai mwyaf bregus yn ein cymdeithas.

Calling out the Welsh Government in the Senedd’s siambr this week. Pam bod Llafur Cymru mor barod i achub cam Llafur yn Llundain yn hytrach na gwarchod buddianau Cymru?

🚆When Labour came into power in Westminster, we were promised change. Today, @plaidcymru.bsky.social is holding a debate in the Senedd, urging the Welsh Labour government to stand up for Wales and vote in favour of reversing the historic underfunding of Welsh rail.

Plaid Cymru is set to force the Welsh Government to vote on seeking full consequential funding for HS2 from their counterparts in Westminster ✍️Emily Price

Despite promises of change, Labour refuses to fight for what Wales is owed. No £4BN HS2 cash, no fair funding formula, and no devolution of the Crown Estate. Only Plaid Cymru fights for Wales. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 We all agree in the Senedd that there should be a bank holiday to celebrate but consecutive Labour and Conservative UK governments have refused. Another example of Westminster not working for Wales.

Austerity and the cost of living crisis: working together to help Austerity is a key factor in the cost of living crisis. Support organisations face growing demand but with ever fewer resources – working together can make a difference. ✍️ @heleddfychan.bsky.social bylines.cymru/politics-and...

Senedd members criticised plans to spend £800,000 less on securing a legacy from Wales’ historic appearance at the Women’s Euros compared with the men’s World Cup

Tomorrow I'll be speaking in @plaidcymru.bsky.social debate on Gaza where we'll be calling on government to condemn Trump's proposals to depopulate Gaza as ethnic cleansing and to commit further humanitarian support for Gaza. 2/2

To clarify, there have been no negotiations with Plaid Cymru on the budget despite what’s outlined here. Cross-party scrutiny committees have expressed many concerns about the budget and it doesn’t meet Plaid Cymru’s ambition for Wales.

Five years on, with flooding becoming more frequent, there is growing frustration and anger in many communities that not enough has been done to help them ✍️ @heleddfychan.bsky.social wp.me/p8Mk4U-Vn3

Today, I joined the the UCU rally about the financial crisis faced by our Universities. Plaid Cymru stands with you in this fight. The Welsh Labour Government must do more to protect our universities here in Wales.

Yn cyflwyno'r siaradwyr / Introducing the speakers: # 7. Heledd Fychan melindrafod.cymru/siop @heleddfychan.bsky.social‬, @plaidcymru.bsky.social,

Says it all about what the Welsh Conservatives think of Wales. In contrast to the leader of the Tory group, all Plaid Cymru Senedd Members are here and ready to do the job we’re paid to do, and stand up for Wales and hold the Welsh Government to account.

No crisis?! Even the draft budget means less money for culture than the 2023-34 budget. And let’s be clear, the 2023-24 budget was not good news for the arts and heritage sectors in Wales. Dydi gwadu gwirionedd sy’n amlwg i bawb ddim yn help i sector sydd dan fygythiad. www.bbc.com/news/article...

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿Pob lwc Cymru! The first six nations match against France tonight 🤞🏻 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

This is extremely concerning, and if the proposals go ahead, will disproportionately impact courses that are important to our economy, our language and our identity as a nation. The Welsh Government must do more to support the sector and demonstrate that it understands how serious this is.

Mae hyn yn hynod o bryderus, ac os bydd yn digwydd, am effeithio yn anghymesur ar bynciau sy’n bwysig i’n heconomi, ein hiaith a’n hunaniaith. Rhaid i Lywodraeth Cymru wneud mwy i gefnogi’r sector a deall pa mor ddifrifol yw hyn.

Mae Plaid Cymru yn nodi Diwrnod Cofio'r Holocost heddiw. Rhaid inni gofio'r rhai a'i lofruddiwyd am bwy oedden nhw, a hefyd sefyll yn erbyn rhagfarn a chasineb.🕯️ We must remember those who were murdered for who they were and stand against prejudice and hatred, always.
