A SURVEY marking Plaid Cymru’s first 100 days in office today found that 40 per cent of the Welsh public do not know who their new government is.

The Beaufort Research survey also found that 20 per cent think Welsh Labour is still in office, which will disappoint First Minister Rhun ap Iorwerth’s bid to make an impact in his first 100 days in charge.

A Plaid Cymru spokesperson said: “In May, the people of Wales voted for new leadership, and from day one Plaid has put that mandate into action.

“In our first 100 days, we’ve laid the foundations for lasting change, and we will build on that momentum through the autumn and beyond to make a real difference to people’s lives across Wales.”

But Welsh Labour seized on the survey to criticise Plaid Cymru’s first 100 days in government as underwhelming and unambitious.

“We’ve seen government bureaucracy and paperwork, but no real action or decisions on the issues that matter most,” a Welsh Labour spokesperson said.

“Compare that to Andy Burnham’s first few weeks in government taking action to give people room to breathe with the cost-of-living challenges.”

Overall, the survey found the public more likely to say the new government has performed well than badly during its first 100 days.

Around 39 per cent said it has performed very or fairly well, compared with 23 per cent who say it has performed very or fairly badly.

But the largest response is do not know at 38 per cent.

When asked which political party is now in government in Wales, 60 per cent correctly identified Plaid Cymru, while one in five said Labour.
