we are back with the late news at 10 o'clock.

:00:00.:00:11.

Senior Plaid figures have kept up their attacks on Labour

:00:12.:00:16.

at their spring conference in Llanelli.

:00:17.:00:19.

Labour would be lame ducks, lingering, the tweed wearing

:01:30.:01:31.

And it went down a storm in the hall but the main thrust of his argument

:01:40.:01:42.

Plaid Cymru see this conference has mainly been about policy but it's

:02:22.:02:26.

also been about plenty of Labour bashing.
