Party Leader Rhun ap Iorwerth has kicked off Plaid Cymru’s election campaign with a 310 mile round tour of key seats.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak called the election on Wednesday May 23) night in a rain-soaked press statement in Downing Street, with the date set for July 4.

He made the economy and combating the global security threats facing the UK the key elements of his pitch to the nation as he announced the election date.

A July election is earlier than many in Westminster had expected, with a contest in October or November widely thought to have been more likely.
