General election campaigning under way in Wales

Plaid Cymru won four seats in 2019.

The party’s leader Rhun ap Iorwerth said: “Only a vote for Plaid Cymru will put Wales’ best interests first in this election.

“The Tories have crashed the economy and hard-working people are still paying the price of high bills. Labour, on the other hand, just take Wales for granted,” he said.

Liz Saville-Roberts, Plaid Westminster leader, said on X: “Look around and ask yourselves, is this as good as it gets?

“Plaid Cymru is ready to take the fight to the Tories and Labour to demand the fairness and ambition that Wales deserves,” she said.

Speaking on Dros Frecwast, Jane Dodds, leader of the Liberal Democrats in Wales, said they will be “campaigning hard”.

“Most of the people who have voted for the Conservatives will not want to give their vote this time to Labour, so we have an opportunity to talk to them and ensure that we are their choice,” she said.

Carla Denyer, co-leader of the Green Party of England and Wales, said they plan to stand a candidate in every constituency.

“If we manage to do that it will be the first time we have done that in the party’s history.

“We’re prioritising that because we want to make sure everyone has the opportunity to vote Green,” she said.
