Plaid lost to Reform (ex Tory) by 10 votes, yes just TEN in Cowbridge with the Tories third. This is real Tory territory, they polled over 50% here at the county council election in 2022. If Plaid are competitive in Cowbridge then the whole of Wales is there to be won...

A bit of university French does not, unfortunately, convey the same advantages as deep knowledge and long experience. Switching languages frequently in the course of a day (or conversation) may be particularly important https://econ.trib.al/FKUW7gW

Perhaps. Learning languages offers other, more concrete benefits
