Anger as Plaid Cymru restores whip to MP cautioned for assaulting wife

Ex-leader joins criticism of decision to allow Jonathan Edwards to represent party in Commons again

Plaid Cymru's restoration of the whip to an MP who was cautioned by police after assaulting his wife has caused anger, with a former leader joining in the criticism.

Jonathan Edwards, who had been sitting as an independent since he was arrested on suspicion of assault, will again be able to represent the nationalist party at Westminster following his suspension in July 2020.
