Behind every cancer diagnosis is a unique human story - stories of resilience, grief, hope, and healing. People-centred care means seeing the whole person and meeting their unique needs with compassion and empathy.

Good to see the improvement in Cardiff's recycling rate, but we still have work to do as we remain the second worst performing local authority

It was great to see Hwyel Morgan yesterday at the Nature Friendly Farming Network event. I previously visited his farm in Myddfai Llandovery and got to see his brilliant restorative farming first hand.

10,000 children escaped to Britain on the kindertransport. Read The Last Train by D E Collins
Today I reflect on the efforts of Eleanor Rathbone MP and others to rescue many many more which were blocked by the then government, frightened of an anti immigrant backlash: strains of today’s discourse.
Unforgettable testimony at Temple of Peace today.
Peter Lantos b. 1939, survived the industrial extermination of Hungarian Jews in 1944. Whilst his father died of starvation at Bergen Belsen just before British troops arrived in May 1945, Peter survived to become a distinguished NHS Dr in London

Harry Olmer, a life well lived as a Holocaust survivor and educator, declaring revenge on Hitler by living and having 4 children and many grand and great-grandchildren. May his memory be a blessing.

In the next 4 years we need to develop the Welsh energy storage systems to stop taxpayers paying companies ££££ not to generate electricity on windy days because the National Grid is overloaded. Mega batteries called energy boxes are one solution
Thanks to @edmilibandmp.bsky.social for delivering a mega wind farm at Awel y Môr off Llandudno; and floating wind generators off Pembrokeshire.
Enough to heat 1m homes in Wales, we now need Welsh mega battery storage so we don’t lose the energy for Wales to the grid.

Last week, I met with Councillor Norma Mackie & two waste enforcement officers to discuss the ongoing problem of littering and fly-tipping in Cardiff Central. We identified areas requiring clearance and discussed practical ways to improve how these issues are managed.

Imprisoned hunger striker linked to Palestine Action tells friend: ‘I’m dying’
It is utterly depressing that the UK Government is doing nothing to prevent the martyrdom of people who care so deeply about the outrage committed in Gaza to die for it
