Today, we remember the sacrifice & service of all those who have defended our country & our freedom.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning,
We will remember them.

This week in Parliament, I planted a stake in the @commonsspeaker.parliament.uk Garden of Remembrance from the Llanelli constituency.
The Garden honours the sacrifices made by so many in defending our freedoms, our values and our way of life.

I recently met with Melanie James, Heartbeat Trust UK, at Lewis Construction in Trostre as she launched the roll out of Critical Bleed Control bleed kits to Carmarthenshire.
These kits save lives. I hope we can persuade others locally to provide them in workplaces and vehicles too.

📢After months of campaigning, I'm pleased to confirm Carmarthenshire will receive £20m additional funding through Labour's Pride in Place Programme. 📢
That means an EXTRA £2m every year for the next 10 years - investment in facilities, support local jobs & our communities.

Enjoyed visiting Men’s Shed Cwm Gwendraeth this morning to see the difference it makes to the lives of its users.
It was lovely to meet with, and hear from, those who have benefitted from the opportunity it provides to come together, learn new skills and foster new friendships.

I’ve long supported calls for a #HillsboroughLaw & I’m proud the Labour Government today delivers on its promise to introduce it.
The new law will ensure truth, candour and justice after tragedy and has only been made possible through the efforts of families and campaigners over several decades.

Labour's Employment Rights Bill turns the page on an economy blighted by insecurity, poor productivity & low pay.
We’re delivering a fairer future for work. Yesterday brought real change a step closer.

On Friday, I unveiled a plaque to celebrate Llanelli Railway Goods Shed Trust winning a National Railway Heritage Award for preserving the historic Goods Shed Office building for community use.
I chaired the Trust for 13yrs & I’m delighted it has been recognised. A huge thanks to all involved.
