The West Wales branch of the largest #50swomen group in Wales (1950s Women of Wales) stand by this by #CEDAWinLAW. If #WASPI Board have any integrity they will stand down after leading #50s women up the path of a non legally binding PHSO process, seeking only partial maladministration for a few.

Labour's budget doesn't even touch the sides when it comes to the challenges confronting our public services.
We were promised things would be better with two Labour governments in power, but this budget is more about papering over cracks than addressing the real challenges facing our communities.

Keir Starmer may be βsickβ of hearing about HS2 funding, but Wales is sick of being ignored by Labour.
This "Partnership in Power" means nothing if it doesn't deliver fairness for Wales.

Outside of the NHS, the Welsh Government Budget is 10% lower in real terms compared with 2010.
A Budget that leaves Wales with less compared with 14 years ago is not worth celebrating.
