Labour ‘Knows the Price Of Everything but the Value of Nothing’
During First Minister’s Questions today (Tuesday 4th February 2025), Plaid leader Rhun ap Iorwerth MS challenged the Labour Welsh Government for presiding over crises facing the education and culture sectors.
Emrys Roberts was extremely influential on Welsh politics for three decades. His contribution to the Party was exceptional from the 60s, when he was an energetic General Secretary, and as the Party's candidate in the Merthyr by-election in 1972.
His greatest electoral achievement was leading the Party to control a local council for the first time - in Merthyr in 1976. He was a great influence on a generation of nationalists, and there is a very warm memory of him in Plaid Cymru.
