"Adam Price forced out as Plaid leader over a bullying scandal has been REWARDED with a cabinet post. The woman who wrote the report exposing Price's bullying now sits in the cabinet alongside him. Plaid Cymru where accountability and consequences go to die."
"Adam Price is still in Plaid and no one says anything"
Criticism over nitrate vulnerable zones: "What ban? Plaid refused to support the designation of nitrate vulnerable zones for Usk & Wye catchments way back in 2022 under Adam Price. Consequently run-off continues. Algae explodes. The fish die."
