Given that childcare is Plaid's 'flagship policy,' you'd have thought they'd be doing more than following our plans for Flying Start roll out 🤔
From 3 to 19 in just six months ‼️ By the end of November, 19/22 of Wales' councils will offer 12.5 hours of funded childcare for every 2-year-old, with all councils set to deliver by spring. Another step towards our full childcare offer, supporting families and giving every child the best start ✅

Devolution means giving people more say over the decisions that affect their lives and Welsh Labour is the party of devolution.

Welsh Labour has secured an extra £60 million for additional learning needs. That's because we believe that every young person deserves the support they need to thrive.

Every child with additional learning needs deserves the right support. Sarah from Flint raised her concerns with me, and I put her question to the First Minister in the Senedd this afternoon.

Today the PM has offered to work with the Welsh Government to put power in the hands of people and communities 👇🏼
“We will not agree on everything. That is the nature of devolution. But when we share common goals, it makes sense to work together. It is time politicians started focussing on problem-solving, not point scoring." The PM’s offer to Wales: walesonline.co.uk/news/polit…

We’re glad funding from our UK Labour Government is making this possible 🌹
£100 for households in council tax bands A to D. That's the cost-of-living payment we'll make to ensure Welsh households can have support. 🧵1/6

We secured £445 million for Welsh stations last year as part of a long-term commitment to £14 billion of rail upgrades. Today’s announcement of £30 million towards Cardiff Parkway is a welcome step towards delivering the station. Now the Plaid Cymru Government must play its part and make clear its commitment to the project.

My Budget today will help families with the pressures they face now. It will back businesses and entrepreneurs, invest in Britain's future, and strengthen our national security. A plan to get through this moment and build a stronger Britain.

Rough sleeping is a thing that governments either choose to accept or don't. This Labour Government does not believe that anyone in this country should be sleeping outside on any day of the week

Burying cables can cost 5x as much as overhead lines, increasing the cost of delivering clean energy. Decisions should be evidence led - the right engineering solution for the right landscape. Plaid, with Reform & the Tories, are putting our economy and environment at risk.
