Due to increasing pressures, many small and medium sized businesses aren't able to grow or offer employment opportunities. Plaid Cymru is calling on the UK Government to cut VAT for hospitality businesses to 10% in tomorrow's budget to give our high streets the breathing space they need to thrive.

Happy National Black Cat Day! 🐈‍⬛ Black cats are amazing and, as Welsh folklore tells us, bring good luck to the home: "A black cat, I’ve heard it said, Can charm all ill away, And keep the house wherein she dwells From fever’s deadly sway." #NationalBlackCatDay

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

The contempt shown by Reform UK politicians to our modern institutions is couched in loyalty to tradition. They despise the Senedd as a Blair-era irrelevance that subverts the wider political impetus of the UK ✍️Ben Wildsmith wp.me/p8Mk4U-1w1a

It is the 26th of October. Today in Cornwall, at about this time Cornish arishes, stacks of stubble, were cleaned up on farms with a drudge, a kind of ox rake. The Drudge Man was allowed three pints of beer a day for his hard work. In 1908 Cornwall's team represented Great Britain in the Olympic

On 24 October 1055, Welsh king Gruffydd ap Llywelyn and Earl Ælfgar routed Earl Ralph near Hereford. Chroniclers recorded 400–500 killed in the retreat before the allies burned and plundered the town. Have you ever heard of the Welsh king, Gruffydd ap Llywelyn? #WelshHistory #GruffyddApLlywelyn

"foul-mouthed social media troll and self-described Tommy Robinson ‘admirer’" Surely that is an accurate description of every Reform member!
