Plaid Cymru reiterate call for suspension of arms exports to Israel

This week, whilst announcing its budget for the next year, the Welsh Government has committed funding for the development of community transport proposals in west Wales.

Ceredigion farmers, like those across Wales, are right to worry about the future of the sector. Their protest in Aberystwyth was sincere, firm but noble and the numbers reflect the strength of farmers' feelings due to the challenges facing the agricultural sector in Wales.

Be it the Sustainable Farming Scheme, rising farm input costs, the undermining effects of Brexit and new trade agreements, NVZ regulations, failure to tackle TB in cattle - they are all hurting the industry. But when they all come together the cumulative effect is so much worse.
