📢 I’m proud to announce that I have been shortlisted as a Welsh Labour candidate for Caerdydd Ffynnon Taf. In the weeks ahead I’m looking forward to speaking with members and hearing about the issues that matter to them ahead of next year’s election.

Ramming through assisted suicide and disability benefit cuts in the space of 2 weeks. Hard to believe how little this government values disabled people.

If I wanted Welsh Labour to lose next year, I'd keep doing exactly what UK Labour are doing. nation.cymru/news/treasur...

That hairline at 22 is a punishment

The refereeing of both cymru games this week has been awful. Why does the women's game not have VAR when the men's does ?

This country is incredibly weird for how much it hates young people

It's almost like working class people want a centre-left party, not what Labour has become

You’re telling me that right wing voters that Labour was trying to appeal to voted for a right wing party anyway and left wing voters decided not to vote for Labour because they’re too right wing now? Who could have possibly predicted this.

the gordon brown 'bigotted woman' incident broke the brains of labour centrists so completely that 15 years later she is literally the only voter they can conceive of trying to appeal to

Judgement day X only having 28k attendance shows how much damage the WRU has done to the game. Lowest ever attendance at the Pricipality. Over 10k less than the last time it was here. Less than half of the peak attendance.

getting a bit tiring to think "ah yay, the worst people you know are having a great day" several times a week, every single week

The author had half a point over bad information online, but the article as a whole has such a medicalised anti-neurodivergent vibe www.independent.co.uk/life-style/b...

This is one of the most ill-informed pieces about autism/ADHD I have read, which says something, and the lack of options for diagnosis people have. It shouldn't have been run once, let alone twice. Absolute lack of engagement with the reality faced by many neurodivergent individuals.

Latest in the brewing row over benefits cuts and how they impact Wales - now the Welsh government says it won't release a response to its formal request for an impact assessment for Wales www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

[every assassin’s creed game] NPC: hello it is i, your best friend wolfgang amadeus mozart! i made you this crossbow

When someone is housed, a local authority evicting them flys the the face of the "prevention" approach they all claim to be subscribed to. There was obviously more that Cardiff council could have done (as always), how it got this far needs to be questioned. nation.cymru/news/activis...

Today is the day

I recently spoke with Mia from the BBC Wales News young reporters scheme about her experience of homelessness and how we can do more to support young people in her situation. BBC News - Homelessness: I sat my GCSEs while living in a hotel temporarily - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Maybe the worst thing about today's radical, unprecedented cuts to PIP and UC health, at least from a policy-making perspective... These savings won't even be achieved. At best they'll be displaced onto NHS or reduced tax from anti-growth impact of declining public services quality

If he believes this then he should be arguing against cutting benefits and spending on services. Fairly obviously.

The thing about the govt is that it wants change, but without upsetting capitalists - hence reforms to local govt & attacks on the civil service & disabled whist not recognizing that our sclerotic productivity growth might be the fault of bosses, rentiers & vested interests.

PRESS RELEASE: Billionaires amassed more wealth in January than poorest third of humanity owns oxfam.org.uk/mc/4r9q8g/

One time, I heard him give a speech where he said his fight against the EU was as brace as "battle of Britain fighter pilot". When I quoted him on Twitter, he called me a liar. I now see I confused Spitfires with MIGs

Maybe Gatland was the problem?

Jane Hutt and Julie James gone. Welsh gov may never recover

The Conclave Oscars campaign is getting intense.

Why is nobody talking about this?

We should have sold Harry Darling in January

Jay Fulton has come on. Inevitable loss now.

Just 42 days.

Nigel Farage: Keir Starmer won’t wrestle me in the mud, he’s too good for it. Keir: *not even allowing Farage to get halfway through the sentence*

It's taken a little while but today EYHCs new report goes live. Nowhere For Them To Go: Young People In Temporary Accommodation In Wales. End Youth Homelessness Cymru began its campaign to end the use of unsuitable temporary accommodation for young people in 2017.

Swansea City

Yes, I'm trying to write. Yes, I have a headache.

I want the Metro/arena built but the fact it means weeks on end of unbearable noise that will undoubtedly turn into months as it's inevitably delayed is getting to me.

South Wales police equally as bad.

A reminder to Welsh Government: you run higher education in Wales and your party colleagues are in power at Westminster. If you want devolution to survive - indeed, if you want Wales to survive - you have to actually do something about the crises happening under your watch.

In the next week or two (hopefully) I'll put out a report that shows that the time children and young people are spending in TA in Wales is spiralling, up 71% in 7 years.

Now Swansea are set to lose Matt Gimes with a week of the window left.

Think Williams might be cooked. Not sure how he comes back from this. We need half a dozen players to stop this rot.

By this logic, if a second tier club qualifies for Europe, they'll have to be banned from taking part due to fixture congestion surley?

It is remarkable that competition integrity and player welfare matters to the FA when it's the FAW trying to grow the gam. but when it's a petrosate breaking PSR or another preseason tour by an English club, it's A-okay.

Not ideal when your entire hosuing policy is "Build more"

Hard day in the office

Last week, the staff of a Welsh refugee charity funded by the Welsh Gov received death threats due to the actions of a Trump Cabinet appointment. Good to know the FM is taking a hard line on this eh?

Not saying I'm a prophet but we won 9-4
