Plaid's first major test in government... and it didn't go to plan.

This week on Senedd Sources, we unpack the budget battle that's piled fresh pressure on Rhun ap Iorwerth and Plaid Cymru after a dramatic showdown in the Senedd. What went wrong for Rhun ap Iorwerth's government, why did Labour refuse to back the budget, and what does this mean for the future of the Welsh Government?

We also discuss the beginning of a new era for Welsh Labour, as Ken Skates takes over the party in Wales while Andy Burnham enters Downing Street. Can this new leadership team rebuild Labour's fortunes, - and what could it mean for the relationship between Cardiff Bay and Westminster?
