Plaid Cymru leader Rhun ap Iorwerth launches his party's General Election manifesto in Marble Hall, at The Temple of Peace in Cardiff, Wales, June 13, 2024
THE Tories have been wiped out in Wales, returning no MPs in the country for the first time since 1997.
Labour won 27 of the 32 Welsh seats, an increase of nine, and the Liberal Democrats one, but the Tories, who had 14 MPs from the 2019 election, lost every seat.
Among those who lost was recent Wales secretary David Davies and three of his predecessors.
