Wales is ready for its next chapter: New candidates. New opportunities. New jobs on the way. The most exciting part of our story is still to come.

A new generation. The next chapter. A fairer Wales. That's what we're offering at this election.

Wales has always believed in equality and fairness in how we treat each other. Welsh Labour is the only party with that as a value at its heart.

A generational commitment to Welsh Rail, and an end to the injustice of Tory underfunding. That's what your Labour Governments are delivering for Welsh rail.

A new chapter for Wales - rail investment that means jobs, growth and better journeys. £14bn for Welsh rail. 12,000 jobs supported. Stronger connections across Wales.

Allowing 18 year olds to become train drivers is good news. ASLEF have long campaigned for this to address a future shortage because of the large numbers of current drivers approaching retirement. Industry supports it too. Training is tough. I’ve had a brief go! news.sky.com/story/minimu...

Nigel Farage has just said Reform will vote AGAINST lifting the 2 child cap, despite promising to lift it in May. Reform doesn’t care about working class kids - or their families.

We said we’d protect the NHS, and we did. We backed family budgets, invested in education and skills, and are giving every child a fair start.This is delivery, not slogans. Promises made. Promises kept. 🌹 @welsh-labour.bsky.social #WelshLabour #FairerWales #PromisesKept

Snow scenes from Swansea made it onto @itvnews.bsky.social proud to see our local beauty shown to the nation! But beneath the snow, let’s remember our duty: check on your neighbours, especially the elderly. #BreconNeathSwansea #WinterSafe #WeCareOurNeighbours
