Had my flu jab today! 💉

We are now entering the flu season and it’s really important that those eligible get their jabs.

In particular, if you work in Health or Social Care, please ensure that you do this to protect yourself and the people you care for.

It’s absolutely shameful. He was a Member of the Senedd, an MEP and the Leader of Reform in Wales. Can you imagine the media hysteria if this had been a Labour politician! 😡

It was lovely to see the new Laura Ashley at Cyfarthfa Castle this afternoon.

The exhibition, which will be at the Castle for at least a year, shows some of the iconic fashions, fabrics and furnishings of this famous designer, born in Dowlais, Merthyr Tydfil, 100 years ago.

Well worth a visit.

A senior Reform member who was their leader in Wales has pleaded guilty to 8 charges of bribery.

He took money from someone connected with the Russian Secret Service to make positive statements about Russia in the EU Parliament when an MEP.

So it's clear:

Vote Reform. Get Putin. Become a traitor.

Anyone who shills for Russia is an enemy of the state, and should face harsh consequences. Reform UK are enemies of the state.

Following World Suicide Prevention Day recently, this Welsh Government-supported campaign is vitally important, ensuring spaces exist within football clubs and other sports organisations where people can openly talk about their personal wellbeing.

Nigel Farage is complaining that Parliament doesn't serve HIM well.

The ego of this horrible man, it's incredible.

You are supposed to be serving, but you can't even pretend to do that.

Reform UK claim to be the party of the people—a bold alternative to the tired old Tories and Labour. But with a parade of ex-Tory MPs defecting, the latest being Nadine Dorries, they’re starting to look less like a revolution and more like a rebranded Tory Party. #sameoldtories
