Liz Saville Roberts to address crowds at Together Alliance’s march against the far-right  

Today (Saturday 28 March) Plaid Cymru Westminster Leader, Liz Saville Roberts MP will deliver a speech at Together Alliance’s ‘March Against the Far Right’ in London.  

The Together Alliance is a broad coalition of organisations, trade unions, political parties, community groups and various public figures formed to oppose the rise of the far-right.   

The march will take place in central London, culminating in a rally with music and speeches. Organisers are expecting tens of thousands of participants.

Liz Saville Roberts MP will deliver a speech, representing Plaid Cymru. She said that as far-right politics gains ground, Plaid Cymru has shown in Wales that it can be “challenged and defeated” by standing firm in our principles. This comes following Plaid Cymru’s historic win in the Caerphilly by-election where the party beat Reform with a majority of 3,848 votes after a collapse in support for Labour. 

The most recent YouGov poll for the Senedd election, published earlier this week, suggests that the by-election result could be replicated across Wales in May, with Plaid Cymru leading in a two-horse race with Reform UK. Ms Saville Roberts said that the Caerphilly by-election “solidified” the fact that, in Wales, “only Plaid Cymru can stop Reform”.

Speaking ahead of the event today, Liz Saville Roberts MP said: 

“At a time when far-right politics is gaining ground, we have shown in Wales that it can be challenged and defeated by standing firm in our principles.  

“With the Senedd election this May on the horizon, Plaid Cymru is proud to stand for inclusion and humanity. We stand firmly against racism and anti-migrant hatred in all its forms. 

“The Caerphilly by-election solidified the fact that in Wales, Reform can be stopped if progressives unite behind Plaid Cymru. In May, we have an opportunity to replicate that across Wales. 

“I am proud today to join progressives from across Parliament and civil society to say ‘enough is enough’ and call out the falsehoods peddled by the far right.”

  1. If you are genuinely concerned about the problems we have now in our country then you are called far right. The politicians have caused the problems and their heads are so far up their arseholes they can’t see it.

  3. Another one want to fk Wales and the people over. Labour side kicks. 26yrs of failure. Wales deserves better than you .

  5. There is plenty to say but I’ll keep that for when the time is right they all have skeletons including this one

  13. The biggest problem here is putting the people of Wales first and actually listening to them,we dont want your views we have our own and you need to start listening to us otherwise you’ll be out alongside labour,we’ve had enough of lefties

  14. Rhodri Sion the Left have always been fascist in some ways

    Fascism is just one of the dark period in our not too distant history then replaced with Stalinism and Maoism but what worries me and immensely is the apparent resurrection of the Stalinist format of governance and the privileges for the few imposed on us all by the leaders of the Welsh Labour Party and with Plaid Cymru support in the post devolution Wales.

  15. So the choice is a far left Welsh Nationalist xenophobic party or a far right English nationalist xenophobic party for Wales 🙂

  17. Sion Goronwy couldn’t help myself ! Quite funny but I’m afraid the joke will only be understood by 20% of the population –good though fair play

  21. Sadly it’s you looney lefties that are creating division. It’s not about being far right (which we are all being labelled as) it about holding up British values,keeping women and children safe and something the looney lefties don’t seem to understand RESPECT.

  23. No body more far right than plaid. Devision politics. Break away from great Britain. Only welsh people in houses and jobs. Language stuck at 18% with the past being only two languages. Now there are 11 languages you got no chance. And shooting yourselfs in the foot being a country of sanctuary. Toys in the attic.

  28. I used to colour my hair pink but I’m worried people will consider me mentally ill these days and do not want to look like my political view are that of the left

    • Maxine Lewis she did it for cancer charity,then kept it,I wouldn’t expect someone like you to understand compassion,you’re all about hate.

      • Iwan Gwyn Williams I don’t care …. I expected nothing less from you I explained why I no longer colour my hair pink pray tell wtf as that got to do with her it’s a simple observation that a number of left lunatics have colourful hair and do not want to be mistaken as one of them

  36. Kath Julie Spence Ah,the “Free Speech”people are always so offended by others’independent choices. Have you ever heard the phrase “Live &Let Live”?

  39. How about cutting the energy bills for the Welsh people first

  44. Election of a Plaid administration would be the wrong thing for Wales right now.
    Since devolution,Plaid have either been in coalition with Labour or pacts with them for about half of the time. They have supported Labour budgets as well as backing them on the 20mph policy and of course the nation of sanctuary stuff.
    They say they won’t press for separation but it’s in their DNA –they won’t be able to help themselves ! It’s in the party constitution !

    • Les Clark agree totaly not really for Wales they are globalists and want to take Wales down a very dodgy path reform for me

    • Carl Williams reform a notorious for lying and not showing uo for work. They wont last in the senedd cant lie anymore. Reform are English nationalist fascists. Youre a traitor to your roots for considering voting for them.
