#christmas #cymru

What a night! Huge thanks to everyone who joined us at the Norwegian Church for the launch of A Vision for a Just Cymru

The conversation has begun!

🙌 Diolch to our brilliant panel

Exciting times in Welsh politics… few tickets left for this event!

Working with @derek-walker.bsky.social gladly means speaking truth to power in our nation.

Together we urge @prifweinidog.gov.wales to do what’s right by our nation and our values.

Looking forward to challenging the First Minister when the Senedd returns next week.

Scotland has acted. Public support for companies based in Scotland supporting or producing arms for Israel is banned. Wales must follow suit -

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.

The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.

Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

Isreal could just let the food into Gaza. The trucks are waiting at the gate.

Let UNICEF & UN agencies set up multiple distribution sites. How can anyone ask thousands of starving people to walk for miles hoping for a bowl of food- and risk being gunned down in the process

My beloved nan ran a care home for the elderly then worked in children’s care system.

I’ve seen throughout my life how essential care is and Wales MUST ensure it has its place at the HEART of decision making

Fitting send off for @fawales.bsky.social today, youth teams cheer their sheroes off to #euro2025

Thankfully a very strong lock came with the deal… let’s hope it holds up!

Just got myself a second hand e-bike and life feels very positive!!

Ahead of the publication of the first ever Care Policy Scorecard for Wales, check out our
@bylines.cymru
piece giving an overview of why - despite good intentions and pockets of good practice - there's so much more to do to get our approach to care course-corrected in Wales.

The Chancellor claims her driving purpose ‘is to make working people in all parts of the (UK) better off’ – yet Wales is being left worse off. Today’s Spending Review offers little for Wales, despite us facing the hardest hit from welfare cuts and no voice in the process

Remember 2 months ago when Wales was screwed over by the UK Gov?

Well despite lobbying by the Welsh Gov the Treasury have refused to row back on their decision.

Therefore Wales will have to go into its reserves. This will not happen in England.

'A partnership in power?'

You can do something for Gaza today, read this… then ask our @welshgovernment.bsky.social why they won’t speak up

Events in Gaza a ‘live-streamed genocide’, High Court told The conflict in Gaza is a “live-streamed genocide”, the High Court has been told. Al-Haq, a Palestinian human rights organisation, is bringing legal action against the Department for Business and Trad...

Today we lost a shining light of brilliance @claireoshea.bsky.social

Taken too soon, may we hold you and your legacy of speaking truth to power

Wicklow man loses car in Cork for almost three weeks after forgetting where he parked for stag party We’ve all been there, you’ve parked your car and gone away, only to come back not to realise where it is.

We’ve all been there: you’ve parked your car and gone away, only to come back not to remember where it is. But for one Irish man, it took 19 days, a tour of 59 housing estates and the help of a local radio station to get his car back this week

Watchdog raises concern over DWP plan to deduct benefit overpayments Committee says impact on poorest people of taking money directly from accounts has been understated

Watchdog raises concern over DWP plan to deduct benefit overpayments.

Govt wants 24/7 access to benefit claimants bank accounts, remove money without agreement or court order, right to appeal. Banks will charge fees.

People could be left without money to pay for essentials.

Welsh folklore warns us to take it easy on the Thursday before Easter:
"Maundy Thursday was important for doing good deeds. If anybody performed unnecessary work on this day they would be in danger of being stricken by thunder & lightning"

Thanks for that, helpful info 👍

Also, does the scope 3 add up? Seems low to me

I’m hoping to stand for election in 2026, seeking selection with @plaidcymru.bsky.social in #PenybontMorgannwg

The brilliant local activist and unpaid carer @Mikeo56977865 has kindly given his support to my campaign.

diolch o galon Mike, I will always fight for a better Wales

Had the best creative Sunday after a long and busy week of politics… we have such gems in Cardiff from @bethmorris to @elliehooi art and the lovely venue @insolecourt.bsky.social

I think it’s hard to overstate the anger in parts of Wales that everything seems to be on the table with regards to saving steel making in Scunthorpe whereas this seemingly wasn’t the case for Port Talbot.

Just 12 months till the Senedd election.

Looking forward to our first hustings tomorrow 😍
