The Party of Wales @Plaid_Cymru have ambitions to dethrone @WelshLabour in 2026, but their
leader @RhunapIorwerth will need to address the frankly bonkers statement 👇 that is still live on their website.
Hey @RhunapIorwerth , are you planning to get candidates for 2026 Senedd elections to also sign this pledge?
Because if so, the people of Wales need to know your candidates are promising to ignore women's rights and break the law.
2/
.@Plaid_Cymru must respect the Supreme Court judgment.
Because this 👇 looks very much like they don’t respect women’s single sex spaces are just that - single sex. They are blatantly encouraging unlawful activity here.
Beware women of Wales. For you and your daughters.

It’s a pick ‘n mix of jaw dropping trans extremism in the @Plaid_Cymru statement right now.
We can’t state this strongly enough - if @RhunapIorwerth does not grip and deal with the extremism within his party, no woman should entrust his party with her vote.
4/
No room for ‘wrongthink’ within @Plaid_Cymru.
How do they deal with ‘gender critical’ members?
Will they send you off for re-education (Helen Mary Jones anyone?) - or eject you?
5/
Good news though!
We’re here to help you @RhunapIorwerth - if you’re actually serious about your party understanding its responsibilities under the Equality Act.
We’ll be mentioning the Supreme Court judgement.
A lot!

No self respecting woman should vote for a party that doesn’t respect her sex.
Women are 51% of the population.
We’ve written to @Plaid_Cymru with our questions. We’d like answers. We’d like a meeting.
Over to you @RhunapIorwerth.

We also wrote to @Plaid_Cymru, (the party of Wales apparently), following the Supreme Court judgment.
Plaid have aspirations in the Senedd elections of 2026. Surely they would have a lot to say to the female electorate of Wales on the rights of women and girls?
1/
Here’s their response to our letter sent in early May 2025.
That’s right. Nothing to say.
@RhunapIorwerth usually has a lot to say. He had nothing to say to us about the Supreme Court judgment.
Perhaps you’d like to rectify that Rhun? We’re all ears.
2/
Perhaps @Plaid_Cymru find themselves compromised by these statements which are still on their website, and in direct conflict with the Supreme Court judgment.
Until clarified, we can only presume they will breach the law and care not a jot about women’s rights.
This recent letter from our First Minister assures us of a further meeting.
However, there is a complete failure to grasp the implications of the judgment now, the damage that is being wreaked on women’s rights in Wales, and no acknowledgment or apology to women’s groups.
In an FOI response, @WelshGovernment stated they had sent a Ministerial letter to Baroness Falkner at the @EHRC.
That letter was from Cabinet Secretary for Social Justice Jane Hutt.
But we can exclusively reveal there’s even more!

What do you think @WelshGovernment’s considered response to the EHRC consultation following the Supreme Court judgment would be?
3 options to follow!
Will it be:
a) An impeccably logical analysis of the draft guidance, providing useful commentary?
Nope. Not that at all. 1/5
Or is it:
b) An empassioned examination of where the TQ+ will be disadvantaged by discovering they never legally had the ‘rights’ (entitlements) Welsh Government told them they had?
Nope. Not that either.
2/5
Or could it be:
c) A level headed acknowledgement of the restoration and protection of the rights of women and girls to privacy, dignity, safety and fairness?
