Very grateful to Community Notes for clearing this one up!
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.

Our @UKLabour Government is providing £30 million alongside private investors to deliver Cardiff Parkway.
The @welshlabour government had agreed to contribute to this project.
Today I asked the UK Transport Secretary whether Plaid have honoured that intergovernmental agreement.

Amidst a challenging global environment, this budget is about protecting your pocket and building a stronger Wales in a Stronger Britain.
We’re giving £450 million in extra spending power to the Welsh Government to fund public services like the NHS.

There are thousands of chemical contamination sites across Wales. We can't turn a blind eye to this.
We need the @welshgovernment to instruct @natreswales and @publichealthwales to work with local councils to begin targeted testing.

Hint: they are called 'forever chemicals' for a reason. Problems don't usually just go away if you ignore them.
The campaign to get these thousands of contaminated sites across Wales properly tested goes on...
If you own your own home, then installing solar panels, batteries, and heat pumps are all great ways of lowering your energy bill - IF you can afford the upfront cost.
The Warm Homes Loan Scheme lowers the bar for households to be able to cut their own energy costs.
What will happen to staff at Machynlleth, Welshpool, and Llanidloes when services at our hospitals are slashed @PTHBhealth ?
I listened to a moving performance by the Lewis Merthyr Brass Band commemorating the Aberfan disaster ahead of its 60th anniversary. I had the chance to speak with David Davies, a survivor and Aberfan Memorial Charity Chair. Today, we remember the 144 people who lost their lives.

‘We owe it to all those who lost their lives at Aberfan to build a better future' - @andyburnham
Yesterday I joined the Prime Minister in Aberfan ahead of tomorrow’s 60th anniversary.
It was an honour to meet members of the community - including survivors of that terrible day.

It was an honour to accompany the Prime Minister to Aberfan today where we laid a wreath, visited the memorial garden and met with survivors.
It was a deeply moving experience, and a reminder of the unparalleled strength and resilience of the community.

You cannot root out a rotten apple when the whole barrel is gone.
This week revealed what we already know.
Reform are rotten to the core and they cannot be trusted in Wales nor the UK.

‘It’s quite hard for me to separate the personal from the political’
Minister for AI @KanishkaNarayan says ITV’s investigation into Reform racism is a ‘good reminder’ of what he sees as the central political question facing Britain

Chemical contamination sites across Wales must be tested.
It is morally wrong to look away just because you might not like what you see. We deserve the full picture at the very least.

If these cuts go ahead, there will be one bed for every 2250 patients in Powys.
We need the Minister for Health and Care to step in and stop Montgomeryshire from turning into a healthcare desert @WelshGovernment @mabonapgwynfor

A huge win for Welsh children, secured by Ken Skates and Welsh Labour. 🏴 🌹
While some told him to give up, Ken kept fighting and secured another late victory to take funding up to £60m, up from the £40m offered last week.
This is what standing up for Wales looks like. 🏴
Thank you @KenSkatesMS. We need Natural Resources Wales to undertake soil and water testing, and Public Health Wales to set up a voluntary blood testing programme. Without test results in hand, we won't be able to move forward.
Welsh Government has the power to make this happen.

You cannot put borders on Welsh Power.
Wales wasn’t built by people who retreated.
Wales was built by people who went out and changed the world.
Hopeful. Ambitious. Rooted in solidarity.

Wales is open for business! 🏴
Airbus is investing £150 million into converting its former A380 wing production facility into an A321 line in Broughton.
