Plaid’s leader, Rhun ap Iorwerth, insists the party’s decision wasn’t about bailing out Labour but safeguarding crucial services for Wales. He’s got his sights set on the forthcoming Senedd election, aiming to give Labour the boot after an impressive 26-year stint in government.

So, what’s in the deal? It includes provisions to prevent job losses, avoid skyrocketing council tax, and protect NHS funding. Rhun argues this was the responsible move to shelter Welsh public services from potential cuts come April.

With the election just around the corner, there’s no denying the stakes are high. Rhun’s making it clear: “We’re not backing Labour; we’re preventing disaster.” Plaid Cymru is on a mission to build trust with the people of Wales and create a sustainable future.

What do you think? Is Plaid right to put aside differences and focus on what’s best for Wales? Or is this a political gamble that might cost them down the line? Let’s hear your thoughts! 🤔💬 #PlaidCymru #Labour #WelshPolitics #Senedd2025 #BudgetDeal
