In 2021, Welsh Government pledged to update the Learner Travel Measure (Wales) 2008. Acknowledging issues lead to inequality with the outdated legislation.
The process never began & the measure remains unchanged.
They must now commit to updating the Measure.

Today's poll is a historic turning point for Wales.

As Labour continue to let down our communities, Plaid Cymru can lead the way with a fresh, positive made-in-Wales agenda for government.

Let's unite behind a hopeful and forward-looking vision for Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Another sad day for 'Music City' as The Moon Cardiff announces it's closing. I for one am glad the politicians marched down the street for a photo op and then did absolutely nothing to grow the music scene.

As any policy person in Wales knows, it's consultation season right now. This is helpful (and funny) company for the many consultation responses I'm working on... do I dare say yay for budget scrutiny?

❄️ First taste of winter. The radar shows where we’ve had a mix of rain, sleet and snow overnight.

⚠️ A few cm of snow falling across parts of north, east and mid Wales. A weakening feature as it moves southeastwards today.
