WHAT NEXT FOR WALES?

The first 100 days was just the beginning...

Now, Plaid Cymru will really get #Wales moving.

From cutting waiting lists to creating good jobs, here's what comes next for the Plaid Cymru Government.

100 DAYS

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 On 7 May, Wales voted for a new direction - for a government that believes in Wales, puts its people first, and stands up for our country.

After years of Labour letting Wales settle for less, Plaid Cymru is putting that right.

Here’s what we’ve delivered in our first 100 days in government:

A NATIONAL FOOD STRATEGY FOR WALES

Plaid Cymru's National Food Strategy will bring together producers, retailers, and experts to make sure our world-leading food and drinks sector can thrive. Plaid Cymru is taking action to create a stronger economy that supports rural Wales.

DEVOLVE THE CROWN ESTATE

Plaid Cymru has long called for Wales-specific Crown Estate figures.

Now we have them - and the case for devolving it is stronger than ever...

When Wales creates wealth, Wales' communities should benefit. 

It's time to devolve the Crown Estate.

FREE CHILDCARE FOR 2 YEAR OLDS

On Tuesday 16th June 2026 - the new Plaid Cymru government announced the release of £55 million to complete the childcare expansion for 2 year olds - and support the full roll out of new transformative childcare offer.

Plaid Cymru said that they would roll out free childcare to support families, and that's exactly what they have done.

DEFINITELY TIME FOR A CHANGE

Plaid Cymru Leader responds to Eluned Morgan’s bid to become next leader of Welsh Labour

Responding to confirmation that Eluned Morgan will stand to become the next leader of Welsh Labour, Plaid Cymru leader Rhun ap Iorwerth said:

“After weeks of infighting – Labour’s focus is squarely on party management rather than on a change of direction for Wales, making a mockery of Starmer’s country before party pledge.

“Labour leaders in Wales of recent past and near future have one thing in common on their CV – an abysmal record of running the NHS which has led to record high waiting lists.

“Being in government is now seen as more important to Labour than knowing what to do with the levers at their disposal.

“If Eluned Morgan becomes the leader of Labour in Wales and should she become First Minister, she will prioritise healing Labour’s wounds rather than renewing the government’s sense of purpose.

“The absence of a policy platform can only mean one thing – more of the same tired ideas and outdated thinking which has led to Wales languishing at the bottom of economic, health and educational league tables after 25 years of Labour in power.

“Regardless of whoever becomes the next leader of Labour in Wales, Plaid Cymru will keep making the case for a fairer, more ambitious future for Wales.”

ITS TIME TO GO

Vaughan Gething’s delusional defiance in refusing to accept the democratic vote of no confidence in the Senedd demonstrates the ‘same old’ attitude which has blighted his time in government – Plaid Cymru’s Mabon ap Gwynfor has said.

 

The First Minister is “not only running away from the will of the Senedd but also failing to answer questions which have dogged him through the donations scandal” – Mr ap Gwynfor added.

 

After a motion of no confidence passed in the Senedd on Wednesday – Mr ap Gwynfor said:

 

“The First Minister’s aversion to scrutiny is well known but it takes hubris to another level to ignore the wishes of the Senedd. This is the same old attitude which has so far blighted Vaughan Gething’s time in government – a failure to not only to own up to failings as a Minister but also a demonstrable legacy of avoiding questions.

 

“The First Minister is failing to accept the clear will of the Senedd, he is continuing to fail to answer the questions which have dogged him through the donations scandal, and his response to yesterday's vote of no confidence has raised even more questions that now demand answers.

 

“Rather than burying his head in the sand the First Minister must clarify:

 

“Does he have the full confidence of Labour’s Senedd group?

 

“Can he confirm that there are no further revelations to come regarding his donations from Dauson?

 

“He has accused members of the opposition parties of telling lies in the Vote Of No Confidence debate. What evidence does he have for this?

 

“Does he believe that dismissing a vote in the Senedd as a ‘desperate gimmick’ is respectful towards Welsh devolution?

 

“Did he sign off on hypocritical Labour social media adverts criticising all opposition parties for voting together while the Tories and Labour voted together on a vote of no confidence in Scotland’s First Minister?

 

“Who conducted the investigation which led to Hannah Blythyn’s sacking and when will the report be published?

 

“But above all, why won’t the First Minister resign when a majority of the democratically elected representatives of the people of Wales voted for him to do so?”
