The Welsh Government should now step in and ensure that these trained and qualified Paramedics are hired to relieve the strain on the Welsh Ambulance Service.

NHS England told to keep patients in Powys waiting for operations One woman says the Welsh NHS

This is wild. A Welsh health board is saying that patients going to English hospitals are treated too quickly, and must wait longer. Wtf!?

A fantastic result for the Cardiff @libdems.org.uk team - puts us well on track to winning in Caerdydd Ffynnon Taf next May!

An image of a sad child wearing a red jacket with a quote from Ed Davey that reads: “It is simply inhumane that the entire population of Gaza is at risk of starvation as a direct result of Israel’s aid blockade. The time for words is over - now we must act. That should include the UK Government conducting a fresh set of aid airdrops over Gaza. Ed Davey

The time for words is over - now we must act.

That should include the UK Government conducting a fresh set of aid airdrops over Gaza.

Welsh Tory Laura Anne Jones defects to Reform Senedd politician Laura Anne Jones has defected from the Tories to Reform, Nigel Farage announces.

✅️ racism scandal
✅️ expenses scandal
✅️ not going to get re-elected as a tory

Makes for the perfect Reform recruit 🤣

The world is looking on in horror as Netanyahu's Government plots to lock Gaza's entire population into effectively a giant prison.

The Prime Minister should make it clear that the UK won't stand idly by, starting by sanctioning Netanyahu himself.

Big banks, gambling companies and the social media giants must pay their fair share of tax so people can get the services they deserve.

Torsten has forgotten what country he is in again. Easy mistake when you are parachuted in from London.

NHS waiting lists in Wales have not "falling month after month after month". They went up latest monthly figures 🤦‍♂️ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is deeply disappointing to see. So many disabled groups in Swansea fought to be heard over this issue.

A cracking opportunity here for a talented communications professional to work on 2026's most exciting election!

This is the definition of madness. If Labour let this happen, they really have vacated reason and what’s best for Wales.

Kudos to David Chadwick MP and the #WelshLibDems for uncovering another funding scandal that takes money away from Wales.

Labour are in for a total kicking in next year's Senedd election and they deserve it. nation.cymru/news/hs2-all...

Blue Labour group urges ministers to ‘root out DEI’ to win over Reform voters Faction influencing No 10 says government should legislate against DEI in hiring, sentencing and ‘wherever else’

To oppose diversity, equity, and inclusion is to support conformity, inequity, and exclusion.

Sure, some DEI branded initiatives have been weird or more often ineffective. But the basic principle is worth defending.

Results of a YouGov poll indicating Ed Davey is the most trusted party leader when it comes to the NHS.

From a Winter Crisis Plan, to rescuing NHS dentistry, to boosting community mental health support, to properly valuing and championing our carers, Liberal Democrats will always fight for a fair deal for our NHS.

Three people standing smiling behind an amber-clad table in an airy hall with tapestries in the background. Behind them are Liberal Democrat banners in Welsh and English; the table is scattered with stickers, QR codes, leaflets and petitions to sign, as well as a plushy tiger. The woman on the left is wearing a yellow top with a trans flag on top worn as a cape; she and the man on the right are wearing rainbow stickers with the Lib Dem bird-of-liberty logo on.

Swansea #Pride is up and running, and the @libdems.org.uk are getting more support than anyone can remember as we stand in solidarity with the community.

Disappointing that for the first time in living memory, the #LabourParty hasn't shown up. Shocking silence from them on #IDAHOBIT of all days.

We're having a fab response at #swanseapride with our campaigns in support of trans rights & banning conversion therapy.

Fantastic to be able to see my good friend become Swansea Lord Mayor. Llongyfarchiadau Cllr Philpott.

If true it’s yet more obscene use of Wales as a staging post.

Politics latest: Row over Reform plan to ban some flags from being flown The fallout continues from last week's election results, with an ex-minister urging Keir Starmer to change course. It comes as Reform sets out its agenda for councils it now controls - with a flag ban...

It does say a lot that the first policy Reform talked about for the council they ran was not how they are going to fix potholes or building more social homes.

Instead, they just ban things.

Great to see the Lincoln team growing yet again: congratulations!

I think makes for our first ever county councillors elected in Lincoln too :)

I am increasingly disappointed that the concerns of the #LGBTQ+ community over what the Supreme Court judgement means for them are not yet being addressed. I have written to the Government asking them to make clear how trans and non binary rights will be protected.

The UK Supreme Court overlaid in the colours of the trans pride flag — blue, pink and white. Overlaid bold text reads “TRANS WOMAN = WOMAN”. In the top left corner is the LGBT+ Liberal Democrats logo, and along the bottom is a small line of text: “Promoted by LGBT+ Lib Dems, 1 Vincent Square, London SW1P 2PN.”

We are studying today's judgement by the UK Supreme Court.

Nothing they rule will change our solidarity with the trans+ community and with everyone who seeks to live their lives under control of their own bodies, and free from poverty, ignorance or conformity.
