Ynys Môn Plaid Cymru - Party of Wales

Llinos Medi was elected as the Member of Parliament for Ynys Môn winning the seat from the Conservatives on an historic night in Llangefni.

The All-Party Parliamentary Group on Nuclear Energy has published a report today (17/11/23) which urges UK ministers to support Wylfa on Ynys Môn as a site for a new nuclear power station by next year at the latest.

Horizon's Wylfa Newydd project was suspended in 2019 due to the UK Government failing to reach a funding agreement, despite the significant work that had been done locally to unplug the project.

Llinos Medi has been a County Councillor representing the Talybolion Ward since 2013 and in 2019 became the Leader of Anglesey County Council; the first female to ever take the role.

She leads the Plaid Cymru Group within the Welsh Local Government Association and is also the WLGA spokesperson for Social Services.

Llinos is a an Anglesey girl having been brought up on a farm in the village of Llanddona and being educated at Ysgol Gynradd Llanddona, Ysgol David Hughes and Coleg Pencraig in Llangefni before moving into the world of work with several jobs across the island.

She has spent time as a carer in the Council's Care Homes and also as a Youth Worker with the island's Youth Clubs - two jobs which have heavily influenced her political outlook.

Llinos appeared on the list of 100 Welsh Women who have made a significant and lasting impact within their fields of expertise complied by the Women's Equality Network in 2020.

According to an opinion poll by Survation in February 2024, Llinos Medi is set to gain the seat of Ynys Môn from the Conservatives with 39% of the vote. Labour was on 27%, the Conservatives on 26% and Reform on 4%.

Llinos hopes to join the active Plaid Cymru team in Westminster, and believes Ynys Môn needs a voice that will always stand up for the true needs and values of the Island.

A significant milestone for the Morlais tidal energy project off the coast of Anglesey was celebrated this week as the substation was officially opened.

In a meeting of the constituency’s members in Llangefni on Monday, Councillor Llinos Medi, Leader of Anglesey County Council was chosen as Plaid Cymru’s Westminster parliamentary candidate for the constituency of Ynys Môn.

It is now 12 months since Plaid Cymru came to power again on Anglesey County Council and since Llinos Medi was elected Leader of the Council following the very successful elections in May 2022.
