Plaid Cymru Demands Fair Funding and Economic Reforms for Wales

Plaid Cymru leader Rhun ap Iorwerth criticized Labour for lacking meaningful change and demanded more funding and economic fairness for Wales, as the party launches its manifesto in Cardiff. The manifesto calls for more power over natural resources, fair funding from Westminster, and control over the Crown Estate profits. Ap Iorwerth emphasized that electing Plaid Cymru MPs is crucial for ensuring Wales' interests in Westminster.
Plaid Cymru leader Rhun ap Iorwerth has accused Labour of not offering 'meaningful change' and highlighted the need for increased funding and 'economic fairness' from Westminster as the party launches its general election manifesto in Cardiff.

The manifesto demands more power for the Welsh Parliament over natural resources and public transport funding, and criticizes UK government spending on the HS2 railway, claiming Wales is owed billions.

Plaid Cymru also calls for control over the Crown Estate to be devolved to ensure profits stay in Wales.

After boundary changes, Plaid is defending two constituencies and aims to gain two more.

Ap Iorwerth, appointed leader last June following Adam Price's resignation, emphasizes the need for a fair funding model and asserts that only by electing Plaid Cymru MPs can Wales secure its interests in Westminster.
