...She added, “Every time someone in the party attacks the [Welsh] language, it does damage in the west.

“They have to take the blame, to an extent, for keeping us in a situation where we need a coalition.”

Mr Jones said, “What we have to realise is that we are considered in some parts of Wales not non-Welsh but anti-Welsh, and a substantial part of the electorate aren’t going to vote for us.
“We are to blame, in a way. We have allowed Plaid Cymru to say they are the only party of Welsh [speaking] Wales.
