This huge billboard has popped up in Cardiff calling Prime Minister Theresa May “a threat” and urging people not to vote for her in June’s General Election.

The adverts, taken out by The People’s Assembly Against Austerity (PAAA), features a portrait of Mrs May with the words “I AM A THREAT” in striking block capitals.

The poster goes on to say that Prime Minister and a Conservative government are a threat to “your local hospital, your child’s education, you standard of living, your job security, your pension, your peace and security”.

This followed by the statement: “Don’t vote Conservative on June 8.”

A spokesman from the political group said they had paid £65,000 for 44 billboards across the UK, with two in Cardiff and one in Caerphilly , but nowhere else in Wales.

These are located at Cathays Terrace, Cowbridge Road West, and Old Nantgarw Road in Caerphilly .

Tom Griffiths, national organiser for The PAA, said: “We strongly believe the best to end austerity now is to get rid of the Conservative government.

“They have been, along with the Liberal Democrats in coalition, the architects of austerity which we feel is unnecessary and a false narrative of balancing the books by making the poorest and most vulnerable pay.

“That belief has become mainstream now and we believe Theresa May and the Conservatives are a threat to the things we mentioned on the billboard, including the NHS and education.”

While PAAA works with many political organisation and parties, stressed they are a non-political organisation and that the billboards did not necessarily mean a campaign for people to vote for Jeremy Corbyn or Labour.

Mr Griffiths continued: “We are doing everything we can to highlight the danger of another five years of Tory government in this country.”

PAAA has now started a Crowdfunding campaign to raise money for more billboards across Wales and the rest of the UK, while concentrating their efforts in marginal constituencies.
