So I have been having a little look at the people who run some of the Welsh anti-20mph Facebook groups. It seems that many of them a run by Tory politicians.... who live in England....and support 20mph where they live.... Let's go on a journey (at a very safe speed). [Thread]

Thank-you to all the staff at @AneurinBevanUHB Grange Hospital for the care & support you've given my little boy over the last 24 hours. He's had brilliant support from nurses, doctors, surgical team and a play therapist who worked some definite magic while he's had appendicitis

We have mapped @focaldataHQ 's most recent poll, which suggests that Labour is set for a 30 seat majority in Wales! The data also suggests that Plaid Cymru would be set to retain their two seats in Dwyfor Meirionnydd and Ceredigion Preseli.

I don't think I like a democracy where politicians calling out the head of government for lying are sanctioned from parliament and yet little seems to be done about the issue of potential lies. I am not sure that is a democracy.

In his leadership campaign, Starmer promised to end imposing candidates. He broke that promise. The imposition of candidates in Cardiff West & Swansea West cuts local members out of the process. It is an insult to Party members, an insult to Wales, and an affront to democracy.

Strong words. Unfortunately they are needed. Politicians who capitalise on people's fears and avoid the facts of situations are creating a race to the bottom in politics and are detrimental to our society. We need and deserve better from politicians.

Today Monmouthshire agreed to council tax premiums on Empty Homes of up to 300%. We have also agreed in principle to premiums of 100% on #secondhomes with commitment to review the impact on our local economy. This radical approach will help us address our housing crisis.
