WALES will be voiceless in Westminster without Plaid Cymru MPs, party leader Rhun ap Iorwerth has warned.

Mr ap Iorwerth said that voters know the Conservatives are finished, but with the expectation of Labour taking power on Friday, there is a “real risk that they will simply take Wales for granted.”

He criticised Labour and the Tories in Wales for putting the Westminster whip before the interests of Welsh communities.
