GLAD that I was able to re-unite two Labour councillors over my leader debate letter. Even if one councillor pretends to be a Welsh socialist while sharing a platform with Tory and Ukip supporters. The leaders debate will expose Labour for their policies and show the public their austerity plan is very similar to the Tories.

Simple answer: if you disagree with both parties’ austerity plans, which will involve more cuts to public spending, then vote Plaid Cymru. No matter how they paint their vision, at the end of the day both Labour and Conservatives will be making the same cuts that will affect the poor hard-working families and those people not in work like the unemployed, pensioners and on sickness/ disabled benefits.
