- "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."
