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. Wayne Jones Absolutely correct. Anyone who voices an alternative opinion is called “far right”. (ps They’re using the term….)

  2. The Remoaners seems to be in right pnick this morning,get ready now for the next month a month of whining,Bless them

    • John Gwyn Thomas Plaid Cymru has lost its way completely. It’s no longer the Party of Saunders and Gwynfor. It’s been taken over by left wing Green radicals and their policies should be exposed as completely unacceptable for the future prosperity of Wales (culturally and economically).

  3. The comments about hair gives away the people who say that it gives away the candidate as being the small minded bigoted cultureless people who are ruining this country and lowering it to the lowest common denominator at every situation. The headline sloganeering following imbeciles that fall for every trick in the playbook of the party that relies on gullibility.

  4. Another liberal far left looney who wants to ruin society as we know it for there own fucked up agenda,why are these freaks even allowed to roam the streets?

  5. Rhodri Sion no one is reading this absolutely mental stream of consciousness rant. Especially when you finish it as a Gwlad voting transphobe.

  6. Kath Julie Spence why? It was done for cancer charity originally,and she just kept it. I wouldn’t expect you to understand such a thing as kindness.
