I’m heartbroken that my dear friend and colleague Hayley has passed away.

Her kindness and generosity touched everyone who knew her.

She is so deeply missed.

Rest in peace Hayley. ❀️

Today is #WorldAsthmaDay! Summer isn’t always an easy season when you have a lung condition.

Things like hay fever, air pollution and hot weather can make breathing more difficult and stop you doing the things you love. This summer we want to inspire you with ways to achieve your summer goals.

Today is #WorldParkinsonsDay, a day to raise awareness, show support and stand with those affected by Parkinson’s.

I recently meet with Parkinson’s UK Cymru, Choirs For Good and people who live with Parkinson’s and heard about their experiences.

Until we find a cure, there’s @parkinsons.org.uk

Great to meet with @prifweinidog.gov.wales & @juliejamesms.bsky.social the Welsh Minister for Delivery.

After years of Tory neglect & riding roughshod over devolution, Labour has reset our two govts’ relationship.

I’m incredibly proud to work with cultural organisation across Cymru.

This additional funding is to enable them to build on the great work they do.

Culture in all its forms is for everyone & as the Minister who started on the shop floor β€” I’m proud of that.

Jane Hutt is the longest serving Minister in the history of the Labour Party in the UK

Her standing down marks the end of the first chapter of devolved government in Wales

Greyhound racing to be banned in Wales A petition calling for a ban had more than 35,000 signatures

Really pleased that the Welsh Government have committed to press ahead with a full ban of greyhound racing in Wales.

They’ve agreed to bring experts together quickly to come up with the speediest way to introduce a ban that considers all the complications.

Great visit to CyDen in today with Mike Hedges and @juliejamesms.bsky.social to explore how we can support the business

CyDen started as a spin-off from Swansea University and has grown into a >Β£100m company. The HQ, manufacturing, development and clinical testing all take place in its home town.

Yesterday we welcomed our valued friends from the Nordic and Benelux region.

They are here because Wales is an innovator and they were keen to find out more about our work. I really enjoyed discussing our economic links, including in the space of renewable energy and other high-growth sectors.

Bonkers Reform plan to:
- whack up your energy bills by making renewables and pylons cost more (costs that are passed straight onto bills).
- leave us with hugely volatile energy prices.
Good for Putin, terrible for us.

In 1st year of default 20mph limit in built-up areas casualties dropped by 28%

That's 678 fewer people injured or killed

A bigger drop than in Covid lockdown - more than double the reduction on such roads in any of the last 20 years

Plus 20% fewer insurance damage claims and Β£50 fall in premiums
