Such desperately sad news. Hefin and I were elected at the same time back in 2016. He was kind, compassionate and cared deeply about representing his constituents. Hefin was great company, bright and funny. My thoughts and love to Vikki, his daughters, family and friends.

Privileged to visit the new Endoscopy Unit at the Royal Gwent Hospital.

Amazing facilities, cutting-edge technology, and staff passionate about improving outcomes for patients.

Hiroshima Day at Tredegar House lakeside yesterday.

There are fewer and fewer Hiroshima survivors left. But the memory of what nuclear weapons really do to people must not be lost.

At a time of high unemployment and poverty, the people of Caerleon welcomed the children with open arms.

The children formed a formidable Basque football team, produced their own bilingual newspaper and helped raise money through traditional Basque dances and songs.

Just love the new away shirt - commemorating the link between Newport and the Basque Country.

In 1937 56 Basque refugees came to Cambria House in Caerleon fleeing the Spanish Civil War.

Never leave dogs in hot cars.
Even a few minutes in a hot car can be fatal for dogs. This is a message that we can’t hear enough, never leave a dog alone in a car. Not even for a moment.

👉 If you see a dog in distress in a hot car, call 999 immediately.
