Exciting news from Plaid Cymru! 🚀 Rhun ap Iorwerth, leader of the party, is sending waves through Welsh politics with an “explicit promise” not to raise income tax if elected as First Minister. With the upcoming Senedd elections on the horizon, Rhun is also addressing the hot topic of an independence referendum, emphasising it will only happen when “the people of Wales are ready.”
In a recent BBC interview with Laura Kuenssberg, Rhun outlined Plaid’s vision for a brighter future for Wales. Highlighting the need for improved public services, he believes in revamping education, healthcare, and the economy by implementing innovative policies like surgical hubs and development agencies. 📚🏥
Rhun’s stance on taxation is crystal clear—let’s not raise taxes unnecessarily. He argues for a more nuanced taxation system to ensure fairness, especially for those who can afford it. Meanwhile, he’s determined to secure a fair funding settlement from the UK Government to boost Wales’s prosperity and infrastructure. 🚆💷
Change is in the air, and Rhun passionately believes Plaid Cymru is the hopeful alternative against conventional politics. He wants to build a future where the Welsh people’s voices lead the conversation on independence, focusing on realistic possibilities and nurturing confidence in the nation.
Welsh Labour may challenge Plaid’s plans, but Rhun is steadfast. He insists the true path to success comes from empowering Wales with new opportunities, stronger economics, and a better understanding of what independence could mean for everyone.
Stay tuned as the election heats up, and let’s see how this political race unfolds! 🌟🐉 #PlaidCymru #WalesElections #ChangeIsComing
