NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE

We have to heal the deeper wounds of our nation with a post-Covid programme for government designed to create an economy that works for everyone and deliver a fair deal for families. 


A Plaid Cymru Government if elected on May 6th would put in place policies to tackle child poverty and the housing crisis and invest to build the best NHS and social care services with more staff on better pay, and free social care for everyone who needs it.

  • Universal free childcare from 24 months
  • A council tax cut for thousands of families
  • 1,000 new doctors and 5,000 new nurses
The grim statistics tell the story. There are 70,000 children in poverty in Wales that don’t even receive free school meals. 67,000 families on housing waiting lists. Over half of our care workers are paid less than the Real Living Wage. 

Let this be the year when we say no more. No more child hunger. No more homelessness and housing crisis. No more poverty pay. 

Britain isn’t working for us anymore – the Britain of my parents’ generation, a brave and hopeful place, no longer exists, it has been erased and, in its place, we have the moral vacuum that is Westminster. 

The coronavirus pandemic has exposed the reality of modern Britain: a state defined by crushing poverty, ruled by a corrupt elite that gives contracts to its friends and denies furlough to its neighbours.

The future cannot be like the past, we cannot simply accept the fantasy island politics thats emanating from Westminster.  That is why we need to choose to decide our own future. 

The poverty we see around us as a nation is not our destiny. This is our moment of truth. Seize that moment and there is nothing that is impossible and nothing we cannot accomplish.
