Allowing 18 year olds to become train drivers is good news. ASLEF have long campaigned for this to address a future shortage because of the large numbers of current drivers approaching retirement. Industry supports it too. Training is tough. I’ve had a brief go!

Today, the Welsh Labour Government’s Bus Bill became law 🚍

This is a historic win for public transport in Wales.

It will transform the bus system and deliver better, more reliable services, connecting people to the new jobs being created by our two Labour Governments 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Attended the Senedd cross-party event Which Wales Do We Want To See? today.As a local litter-picking volunteer, I believe keeping our communities and environment clean is everyone’s responsibility.

Thank you to every volunteer. 🌱

Marked Holocaust Memorial Day in Swansea today.It’s not just a remembrance of the Holocaust, but all genocides across the globe, from Bosnia to Rwanda to Vietnam.
Grateful to Swansea Council for hosting such a powerful service.

Falling NHS waiting times matter deeply to our communities and our valleys, where access to timely healthcare can make a real difference to people’s lives. This is about trust, delivery, and doing what we said we would do.

A great visit to #Ystalyfera Miners’ Welfare Hall, a building full of history and a community full of ideas for the future.
Really enjoyed meeting local groups and businesses and hearing how they came through the challenges with resilience and pride. #BrycheiniogTaweNedd @welsh-labour.bsky.social

A really uplifting morning in Ystalyfera.
Strong support, warm conversations, and a reminder that listening to people and their priorities is what community politics should always be about.

Nigel Farage has just said Reform will vote AGAINST lifting the 2 child cap, despite promising to lift it in May.

Reform doesn’t care about working class kids - or their families.
January 8, 2026 at 12:16 PM
We said we’d protect the NHS, and we did. We backed family budgets, invested in education and skills, and are giving every child a fair start.This is delivery, not slogans. Promises made. Promises kept. 🌹 @welsh-labour.bsky.social

Snow scenes from Swansea made it onto @itvnews.bsky.social proud to see our local beauty shown to the nation!
But beneath the snow, let’s remember our duty: check on your neighbours, especially the elderly.

Snow has settled across Swansea, and it’s magical out there, but please walk and drive with care, icy patches are everywhere. Let’s enjoy it safely together.

Spent today delivering dry food parcels and hot meals across South West Wales-to homes, sit-outs and those with mobility challenges.

It’s not about charity, it’s about dignity.
One act of kindness at a time.

Happy New year 2026
