Nothing screams Rule Britannia like your former leader in Wales being locked up for being a Russian asset.
Reform UK: constantly telling us it is immigrants & refugees who threaten 'British values' whilst they're busy taking bribes from foreign governments.

I am delighted that over 21,000 potholes have been repaired across North Wales in just the last 6 months.
This comes after more funding was released by the Welsh Government on the back of my campaign for highway improvements to be prioritised.
I will continue to push for more!🛣️

This week, at FMQs, I asked Eluned Morgan for the adoption of a 'not for reassessment' marker for a fairer Blue Badge renewal process.
I’m pleased the First Minister confirmed this approach is now being strengthened with new guidance and training for local authorities. A positive step forward! ♿🚗

Patriotic Millionaires came to Stroud and ‘parked the bus’. On their way to London campaigning for a wealth tax. Seems an overwhelmingly popular idea to me, in all my interactions - fans according to all polling, our Giga Poll and the polling of millionaires that PM did.

Lovely to take in the stunning Welsh countryside this weekend on a trail walk in the Eryri National Park.
In North Wales, we are particularly lucky to live with so many areas of natural beauty right on our doorsteps. As custodians, we must protect them so they can be enjoyed by future generations.

Something that is never factored into the published cost of nuclear energy, a near century long clean up. We pay for this. Current bill, £120 billion and climbing. Sizewell C will be just more of the same. Expensive power and a toxic legacy for thousands of years.

Nigel Farage thinks the minimum wage for young people might be “too high”.
When many are struggling to make ends meet, Reform UK’s answer is to make life harder for young workers.
While they talk about cutting young people’s pay, Labour in Wales is capping their bus fares at £1.

🚍| From Monday, bus fares across Wales will be capped at £1 for 5–15 year olds, with £3 day tickets.
A 38% rise in MyTravelPass applications shows how much young people value affordable transport.
