Reform UK’s Senedd manifesto would blow a £1bn hole in Welsh public finances, putting vital services at risk, Plaid Cymru has warned. He said: “The manifesto sums simply don’t add up – it would create a £1bn black hole in Wales’ public finances. Taken together, Plaid Cymru argues the measures would exceed £1 billion in costs without clear proposals on how they would be funded. At the party’s Welsh manifesto launch in March, leader Nigel Farage said a full set of independently verified costings would be released. Plaid Cymru has framed the issue as a clear choice for voters ahead of polling day.
