A RADICAL vision is needed to fight against Labour’s programme of “Austerity 2.0,” Plaid Cymru told delegates at the SNP’s annual conference in Edinburgh today.

The call came after Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer warned that his government’s first Budget in October will be “painful.”

Speaking at the Scottish National Party conference, Plaid Cymru economy spokesman Luke Fletcher said that both a return to austerity measures and the threat of the far-right must be stopped by taking “a radical vision for real, ambitious and deliverable change” over the next 18 months ahead of the devolved parliament elections in 2026.
