I'm really pleased to have spoken in favour of motions standing up for our family farms and seeking the rightful devolution of the Crown Estate revenue to Wales in today's
Powys County Council full council meeting.

I am really pleased to have proposed the emergency motion on the crisis facing adult social care in Wales at the Welsh Lib Dem Conference this afternoon.
While Labour talk about pumping millions into the NHS we recognise the real need is to fund social care properly.
Welsh Liberal Democrats Autumn Conference 2024 EMERGENCY MOTION Funding the Crisis in Adult Social Care PROPOSED BY 20 PARTY MEMBERS Conference notes: A. The Welsh Local Government Association have identified £106m of in-year pressures and £223m of pressures in the 2025/6 Social Services budgets across Wales1. B. That social care makes up 40% of the overall pressure on local government budgets (£559m) in 2025/6. C. The failure of the UK Labour Government to exempt care providers from the employer NI rises. Conference believes: I. Local Government is essential for the delivery of day-to-day services. II. The NHS crisis cannot be addressed without also fixing the crisis in social care. III. That the Care Forum Wales2 prediction of care sector collapse could be realised. IV. That without significant additional support to local authorities there is a risk that councils will be unable to set a balanced budget without double-figure council tax rises or major cuts to vital frontline services. Conference calls on 1. The Welsh Government: i. To provide a major in-year package to support the provision of adult social care in Wales. ii. To ensure the 25/6 social care pressures are properly addressed when setting the Welsh Government budget in December. iii. To support calls for the exemption of care providers from the Employer NI contribution rises. The UK Government: 2. To extend the exemption from the employer NI rises to GPs, pharmacies, and social care providers and provide funding for the Welsh Government to match the exemption in Wales

A very interesting choice of wards by Jnr. "Promises Made, Promises Kept" is this an admission of an illegal inducement to an opposing candidate to drop out of the race in exchange for a Cabinet seat?

The US gave Israel 30 days to sort out food aid into Gaza. They have used that time to massacre 100s more civilians and set the conditions for imminent famine.
That time has now expired.
Now, they must face international intervention to end this genocide.
