🐶 I'm proud Wales will become Britain's first Home Nation banning greyhound racing as a so-called "sport" after a cross-party campaign gained success. Scotland should now follow us, as animal mistreatment doesn't discriminate geographically – 2/3rds favour this too! 🏴&🏴
Scots support a complete ban on greyhound racing by two to one, a new poll has found as a bill aiming to outlaw the sport is lodged at Holyrood thenational.scot/news/25107481.…
🚑 I'm proudly Stroke CPG Chair. Wales's orange category changes are an improvement in helping stroke sufferers. However every second can count, stroke still needs more attention with progress painfully still slow, Wales needs national (regular) Act FAST public health campaigns!
🌬️ I've publicly opposed onshore wind within South Wales West detrimenting countryside communities, arguing a sensible solution to tackling climate change must make land-usage integral if we want to take people along. Often, with wind turbines, they're destroying nature! 🌍
Our self-defeating, sclerotic system of environmental regulation is nature’s own worst enemy. Nuclear uses 3,000 times LESS land than wind farms to produce the same amount of energy.
🚨REMINDER: Labour spent £4.75 MILLION of taxpayers' money for a farm to host the Green Man festival. After finding a pair of ospreys, they turned the place into a conservation site - the world's most expensive bird nest...🪺 Now it's lost £500k in value. 📉
As the first week of the summer holidays ends, never forget that under Labour in Wales, the average pupil performs WORSE in reading than disadvantaged pupils in England.
💙 I'm here to serve you! Lovely day talking to residents of Oldcastle, always a privilege speaking with residents regarding what matters most. Overwhelmingly, it's in health, education, schools, housing & transport that Labour-run Wales falls behind. @WelshConserv will #FixWales
Conservatives will build the homes families need, but we won’t concrete over every green field to do it.
They can’t say they weren’t warned. In my entire time as Ed’s Shadow, I’ve never heard a Labour (or Lib Dem) MP ask HOW he is going to cut bills, they’ve only ever repeated the ‘renewables are cheap’ lie. No scrutiny, no attention to facts. Just blind parroting of lies despite…
🚨BREAKING🚨 Maximum strike prices for Ed Miliband's missing wind auction are out. Gruesome. Offshore wind: £113/MWh Higher than last year. Highest in a decade. And that's before all the extra costs of grid, backup, and wasted wind. As a comparison, the average cost of…
🩼 It's really regrettable prospective patients will wait far longer than their English-based equivalent counterparts oft experiencing perpetual pain, deserving much more attention as NHS Wales waiting lists grow higher. @WelshConserv will tackle this health emergency! #FixWales
🚨 BREAKING: The longest waits for NHS treatment in Wales have increased again. 10,300 patients are waiting 2+ years, that's an increase of nearly 7% in just one month. 📈 Labour's health strategy is failing abysmally. Progress is in reverse. ⏪

🥀 The Welsh Labour Government hates me talking about immigration. I won't stop until our country gets a grip on this issue and all foreign criminals, including migrants who arrive illegally, are deported. Wales is not a hotel.
🚜 It's great talking to rural Wales @royalwelshshow on important issues like Labour's diabolically myopic tax that will decimate generationally-inherited family farms. 💙 @WelshConserv will #FixWales, by backing our countryside champions! #NoFarmersNoFood #StopTheFamilyFarmTax
Thank you @AltafHussainSWW for coming to see us today and for chatting to our chef about wonderful game! Thank you for re-iterating your support - much appreciated!
Reform are pretending to be tough on crime, meanwhile their newest MP let off a dangerous drunk driver last year and told her: “It is what it is.” You couldn’t make it up.
Repeatedly, @WelshConserv argued against Labour's "tourism tax" within Wales. They've gone ahead anyway, really risking our health-challenged hospitality, retail & leisure industry if it dissuades visitors actually arriving. New ONS statistics show 45pc of job losses hospitality!
This would be the final nail in the coffin for many pubs, bars and restaurants. The Prime Minister and Chancellor need to stop pretending that business confidence is high and explain to the rest of the cabinet the consequences of their Jobs Tax and the job-killing red tape…
Ed Miliband’s wind auction is 8 MONTHS LATE. And now it looks like he will start it in recess so he doesn’t have to face questions in Parliament. Why? Because he knows it will prove that his promise to cut your bills by £300 was a lie. Here’s why👇🏾
Don’t let Labour gaslight you. They haven't stabilised the economy, they’ve derailed it.
💉 "A shortage of anaesthetists will have a significant impact on our ability to conduct surgical operations and tackle waiting times", 90,000 shortfall annually. 📝 I've repeatedly raised this to Welsh Government Ministers & also asked that they give funding for extra learners.
🤰 I listened to testimonies of women at a Senedd-based event hosted by @SamRowlands_ & @BirthTrauma, it's important that this work can continue. We must ensure equity cross-Wales, high-level clinical care & transformational cultural change. #GoodMaternityCareForAll
It's Birth Trauma Awareness Week - this year's theme is #GoodMaternityCareforAll We hosted a successful event at the Senedd earlier this year, which raised awareness & brought together politicians & health professionals. You can find more information & support via @BirthTrauma.
💊 Another great meeting talking through @rpharms's policy platform before Senedd elections during 2025, it's important external expert groups can contribute their thoughts on how we might #FixWales. @WelshConserv have their own exciting plans, further to this!
