Wales is in the grip of a housing crisis.

Something stinks! Back in October 2021, 265 Tory MPs voted on the Environment Bill – which passed and is now known as the Environment Act.

The first Independence march of 2023 is confirmed! Saturday, 20th May in Swansea!

Nominations are in! Six candidates obtained the required number of nominations to stand for election.

All Under One Banner Cymru and YesCymru have announced their first March for Independence of 2023 will be held in Swansea on May 20.

The latest March for Independence follows events in Caernarfon, Merthyr, Wrexham and Cardiff in 2019 and 2022, with over 10,000 people attending the most recent march in the capital.

Elfed Williams, Chair of YesCymru said: “There is something special about coming together to march for an independent Wales and it’s great to see that the marches have grown every time with the Swansea march being the most ambitious yet!

“We look forward to working together with the people of Swansea to welcome people from all over Wales on 20th May. The cry for independence increases week by week as the people of Wales realise that the only way our country can thrive is to break away from this crumbling union.”

Marchers are encouraged to meet from 11.30am on Saturday 20th May at Wind Street Swansea with the march leaving promptly at 1pm.

The Union of Equals, but some are more equal than others.

Come to the first annual YesCymru conference at MedRus Conference Centre, Aberystwyth University on 10th-11th June 2023.

Saturday June 10th, 2023 10am - Sunday June 11th, 2023 4pm 

YesCymru welcomes the findings of the interim report by The Independent Commission on the Constitutional Future of Wales. 

In recent weeks, we have focused on the Welsh economy and the impact of the cost-of living crisis on Welsh communities. This week, we will explore the teaching of Welsh history in our schools,
and examine why it is so crucial to the education system in Wales.

Earlier this week, it was reported that the UK public could expect to face “sweeping tax rises” from 1st April onwards.

Last week, we reported on the findings of a ground-breaking new report which revealed that the fiscal deficit of an independent Wales would be 80% lower than the figure previously quoted by the UK Government. 

This month, a ground-breaking new report revealed that the fiscal deficit of an independent Wales would be over 80% lower than the figure previously quoted by the UK Government.

This weekend, thousands of Yes Cymru supporters are expected to descend on the Welsh capital in anticipation of its’ second independence march of the year in Cardiff.

Last year, Welsh Labour and Plaid Cymru announced plans to “fund existing and new enterprises to improve Welsh-based journalism to tackle the information deficit”, and revealed that they would be calling for the creation of a shadow Broadcasting and Communications Authority for Wales. 

Yes Cymru recently launched a petition to demand that the Welsh Government has full control of natural resources in Wales. In the midst of a cost-of-living crisis not seen for forty years, this week we explore whether energy should be nationalised in Wales. 

With the commencement of another academic year, this week we will focus on the worrying rise in child poverty, particularly across Wales.

Last week, we discussed the Welsh economy and alluded to the subject of UK debt. 

This week, we will elaborate on these points and briefly examine how our share of the UK debt may – or may not – impact Wales own hopes for independence in the future.

How much longer can Wales afford NOT to be independent (if it is to have any real say in its’ economic destiny). 

Too small and too poor WHY.
