Leanne Wood Plaid Cymru candidate for the Rhondda

Plaid Cymru’s Rhondda candidate for the forthcoming Senedd elections says Westminster is failing Wales once again by neglecting to pay for coal tip safety measures.  

Reacting to the news that the UK Government has limited testing in the Rhondda to just 60 tests a day despite having capacity for processing up to 500, the Member of the Senedd for the Rhondda said: “This demonstrates Westminster’s disdain for Wales. Lives are at risk here in the Rhondda due to the increased transmission rate in the Porth to Penygraig area, yet Westminster’s response is to throttle testing capacity.

We now face the prospect of a regressive Conservative Prime Minister backed by the even more out-of-touch Democratic Unionist Party, which is seeking to drag us back to the dark ages.
