Wales has around 10% of the rail network, but receives just 1% of Network Rail’s spending across England and Wales.
The UK Government has promised £14bn to address decades of underfunding.
Today’s Budget must bring forward £1bn of that funding now.
£450m extra to Wales…. Brilliant! That is if it was for 1 year.
This is for THREE years. 3.
Put that into context. Leeds station is getting £303 MILLION for renovations.
One station. £303m
One nation. £450m.
Labour robbing Wales yet again, 🥀

Over £300 million for Leeds station.
Just £30 million for Welsh rail - and even that is a recycled announcement.
How can Labour possibly claim this is a fair deal for Wales?

"The people of Wales have voted for change." 🏴
A fydd San Steffan yn gwrando ar Gymru heddiw?
Ahead of today's Labour Budget, Plaid Cymru's Westminster leader @LSRPlaid spoke to @BBCRadioWales about the need for a fairer deal and more powers for Wales.

Labour promised £14 billion for Welsh rail in February.
All we got today was a recycled announcement of £30 million towards Cardiff Parkway Station.
This isn't the step change we were promised by Burnham and it doesn't match the needs of the people of Wales.

£450m over three years sounds impressive until you look at the detail.
Wales would have needed a further £350m in 2027-28 alone just to avoid a real-terms cut to day-to-day spending.
This underwhelming Budget delivers the worst funding settlement for Wales in years.

BREAKING NEWS: £100 payment to every household in council tax bands A-D across Wales ✅
As energy bills rise, Plaid Cymru is acting to help families with the cost of living 💚
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The £100 payment for Welsh households follows UK Chancellor John Healey's Budget announcement of the policy for England, with equivalent funding provided to Wales via the Barnett formula; the Plaid Cymru-led Welsh government is passing it on.

Andy Burnham promised growth in every postcode by moving power away from Westminster.
But small, rehashed tweaks won’t cut it.
The PM must match the ambition of the people of Wales and give our nation the same economic powers as Scotland so our communities can prosper.

Labour promised a reset in the relationship between Wales and Westminster 🏴
Today's Budget suggests the Treasury hasn't got the memo 🥀
ALT The UK Prime Minister and Chancellor with a Welsh flag behind them and text "Another Labour Budget: Another raw deal for Wales".
ALT A Notes App style graphic: "- A real-terms cut to Wales’ budget Rising costs mean Wales will have less money to spend on vital public services. - No meaningful investment in rail Labour promised £14billion, yet this Budget delivers just £30million - that’s just 0.2%! - Poor cost of living support With energy bills set to rise by 27% in the new year, the support doesn’t go far enough. Wales faces some of the highest electricity charges in Britain!"

It's time for a Budget that works for Wales.
Ahead of tomorrow's UK Budget, Plaid Cymru is calling on Westminster to deliver a fairer deal for the people of Wales. ✊

The UK Government promised £14bn for Welsh rail - but we’re yet to see the money
At least £1bn must be brought forward in the upcoming Budget to improve our transport system ✊
Mae’n hen bryd i Lywodraeth y DU dangos yr arian maent wedi hen addo arian i’n rheilffyrdd 🏴

ICYMI! ✂️ A permanent 30% business rates cut is on the way for eligible hospitality and leisure businesses in Wales.
From pubs and cafés to restaurants and cinemas, the change is designed to reduce costs and support the local businesses at the heart of our high streets and communities.
It's part of Plaid Cymru's commitment to support local businesses, strengthen our high streets and make Wales a better place to live and work.

Imagine what £14bn could do for Welsh rail 🤯
Plaid Cymru is urging the UK Government to deliver on their promises in the upcoming Budget - to improve our railways and connect our communities✊
Rhaid i Lywodraeth y DU gyflawni ar ei addewidion i fuddsoddi yn rheilffyrdd Cymru.

So the Leader of “Welsh” Reform used Wales’ worst tragedy to try and score a political point about face coverings.
Completely inappropriate and disrespectful to the families and community of Aberfan.
