Questions to the First Minister
The First Minister reminds us again that she believes she has more influence over Donald Trump than she does over Sir Keir Starmer. But she has influence and fails to learn lessons over those areas she has responsibility for. The First Minister herself has…

Questions to the First Minister
At the start of a new year, we look forward, but we have to reflect on the year gone by too: a year Labour in Wales, no doubt, will want to forget—three First Ministers, dodgy donors, a forced resignation. But let's not forget who's really suffering on…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you very much, and may I wish you a happy new year, Llywydd, and every other Member of the Senedd? I too would like to start by sending my condolences, and those of Plaid Cymru Members, to the loved ones of two former Members of our Senedd. Jenny…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: The First Minister's first 100 days
Again, we're talking about where is the change of direction, a change of tone, under a new First Minister. I'm not seeing that. We can refer to things that have happened in the last 100 days; that does not mean a change of direction under a new First…

Okay.

Welsh Conservatives Debate: The First Minister's first 100 days
I certainly welcome any reference to the successful Plaid Cymru campaign to get that medical school in Bangor. I don't think, though, we can refer to the fact that that happened—happened to happen—during the first 100 days of the new First Minister's tenure…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: The First Minister's first 100 days
Thank you, Dirprwy Lywydd. They do say that a week is a long time in politics—a great deal can happen in a very short period of time—but for those who were hoping that the new First Minister would mean a change of tone and a change of direction, if we look…

Questions to the First Minister
Where’s the plan to bring more people in? And why cap that number now, unless you feel that there's no hope in setting more ambitious targets for bringing new students in? Let me highlight more figures from the 'Nursing in Numbers' report. There are around…

Questions to the First Minister
We've had a description of what the Government says it has done, but, clearly, no plan, and I can't overemphasise how important it is that there is a plan now on pay, and on elements such as training and recruitment. The nursing agency bill, whilst it has…

Questions to the First Minister
Does the First Minister have a plan to resolve this? And if there is a plan, what is that plan?

Questions to the First Minister
'this fails to match the safety-critical nature of their work and the extensive skills they bring to the NHS.'

Questions to the First Minister
The First Minister herself, as a former health Minister, accepts that the NHS in Wales isn’t where it should be after 25 years of Labour-led Governments: the waiting lists; the need for interventions in health boards; and staff, of course, have to work in…

Plaid Cymru Debate: UK Government Budget
Will you take an intervention? Thank you. This is a very, very clear motion put before the Senedd today. This is asking what the partnership in power brings us in Wales, what the benefits are. And, no, we don't know what is in the budget next week, but we…

Plaid Cymru Debate: UK Government Budget
Thank you for taking the intervention. Why is it, therefore, that Labour have taken out of our motion today, by seeking to amend it, that call for the full consequentials to be given to Wales? And isn't the truth here that we have an admission in that Labour…

Plaid Cymru Debate: UK Government Budget
To me, it's not about the money going to London now coming to Wales, it's about us making more use of the potential that we have in our resources.

Rail.

Plaid Cymru Debate: UK Government Budget
Just briefly, I agree with many of the points that you're making on rail, but the first railway lines were electrified in the UK in the late nineteenth century. Do you agree with me that successive Labour and Conservative Governments have failed Wales over…

Questions to the First Minister
The £4.6 billion was the figure quoted by Jo Stevens when she was in opposition, £4 billion was the figure quoted by the current economy Cabinet Secretary. You have heard it here officially: they have given up on fighting for Wales's billions. We've been…

Questions to the First Minister
I don’t doubt that conversations are taking place; it’s the content of those conversations that really interests me. And it’s come to something when the First Minister of Wales, a Labour First Minister, doubts our right in this Parliament of ours to discuss…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you, Llywydd. May I begin by expressing our sympathies in Plaid Cymru with the family of the individual who died in the accident on the Cambrian line last night and those who were injured? I’d also like to thank everyone who was part of the emergency…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Social Justice, Trefnydd and Chief Whip
That's completely right, yes, with regard to her relationship with the Cabinet Secretary for Transport and North Wales. And in encouraging people to use public transport, we have to ensure that people can use public transport. At Llanfairpwll rail station, in…
