We’re glad funding from our UK Labour Government is making this possible 🌹
£100 for households in council tax bands A to D.

That's the cost-of-living payment we'll make to ensure Welsh households can have support. 🧵1/6

Deeply saddened to hear of the terrible train crash in Toledo.

My thoughts are with the people of Spain and all those affected by this tragedy. The UK stands in solidarity with you.

Households in Wales will get help with the cost of living and fuel prices, alongside continued funding for the Welsh Government to deliver public services.

Watch to find out some of the additional investments in Wales announced by the Chancellor.

On Friday I was speaking to a constituent trying to access his civil service pension who was being let down by Capita.

All options have to be on the table - including in-house options - for the future.

People who have given decades of public service deserve so much better.

The national conversation now happening about wildfires is crucial, but it has to yield concrete action so that we are all in a better position as we approach next summer.

The list sent by Harold Wilson to his cabinet of “little things that mean a lot”, including the protection of pubs, concessionary fares for the elderly, empty office blocks and “the future of the pint”.

Echoes of this in Burnham’s small but popular policies today.

New files released by MI5 show Nye Bevan, the founder of the NHS, was monitored by British security services for more than 20 years.

Nick Thomas-Symonds, Labour MP and biographer of Bevan, tells @bbcnickrobinson ‘there was surveillance for the best part of three decades’.

After raising the issue of summer wildfires in Torfaen in Parliament last week it was positive to meet the Prime Minister on this today.

There needs to be a plan in place to deal with prevention & management of wildfires across agencies and between the UK & Welsh Governments.

We remember the 116 children and 28 adults who died in the unimaginable tragedy of #Aberfan sixty years ago.

We will never forget the pain of the people of #Aberfan in those darkest of times, or their courage and dignity in the years since.

It’s been my privilege to campaign alongside @CouncillorTudor in Plymouth.

Over decades, his public service has changed the lives of so many people.

I wish him all the very best for his retirement.
The leader of Plymouth City Council, Tudor Evans has announced he will stand down in 2027 amid health concerns.
