🌹🏡 Spoke at Young Labour Congress today on behalf of @yimbylabour We’re the generation saying ‘Yes In My Back Yard’ to affordable homes, clean energy, and a secure future. Not easy following @AngelaRayner & @darrenpjones but for me housing is personal 🎥👇
Reform UK threw the sink at this and even with a high watermark in the national polls behind them, lost. A great success well done to the whole @cardifflabour @WelshLabour team and to Councillor Lexi Pocknell 👏🌹
@WelshLabour HOLD Llanrumney!! Huge congrats to our brill candidate, Lexi Pocknell. It's a massive blow to Reform (and to Plaid candidly). If current polls were accurate, they should be sweeping us aside - NOT TODAY NIGEL, not in Cardiff! Lab 755 Ref 630 LD 281 Grn 47 Plaid 138

Struggle to see how a sopping wet, upper middle class, North London supper club, lefty party that cannot even organise the proverbial in a brewery does well in Cymru tbh
Sky's Woodward here Does that mean Senedd candidates, though?
Won’t somebody please think of the High Net Worth Individuals the Tories raised taxes on
UK Treasury meets the Laffer Curve 😣. See also: ‘wrecks economy’, ‘epic socialist fails’ and ‘A Dummies guide to growth’.
This is the year the Conservatives were in office 🤣🤣🤣
This is what happens when a socialist government doesn’t understand the Laffer Curve When you hike taxes without understanding basic economics… Capital gains tax receipts fell to 18% (£12.1bn) Remind me again, why we have people in office who have never run a business before?
Great morning meeting local residents in Bassaleg, now back in time for second half of the Lions 🦁🏉🌹
Labour has fended off a by-election challenge to ensure Reform UK did not gain a foothold in Cardiff council ✍️@ShiptonMartin nation.cymru/news/labour-wi…
We know how important it is to have a place to call home. That's why your two Labour Governments are working hard to deliver more affordable housing across Wales.
Quite enjoyed this, it is still much more about 'vision' from @PrifWeinidog, but not long until Welsh Labour can hold up signs promising the kind of generational policies we delivered post-2003 election 👇

Nigel Farage is sat on this app stoking riots. Even then the media will continue to platform him, his clown car of a political party and then wonder why it all went wrong.

Luke Young is the Welsh government's new chief spad after the exit of Wayne David last week
NEW - Wes Streeting confirms strikes WILL go ahead after talks fail with BMA. He says they have "recklessly and needlessly opted for strike action." Action is "completely unjustified, completely unprecedented in the history of British trade unionism.."
Reform UK won't stand up for Wales - they’re too busy standing with scandal-soaked Tories 🤦♀️
Oooft. He is furious.
"It does feel like a bit of a kick in the teeth" Welsh Conservative MS @JamesEvansMS says his party stuck by Laura Anne Jones through "thick and thin" He told @Sion_J of his disappointment that his former colleague has joined Reform UK Read more here: itv.com/news/wales/202…
"Conviction"? I thought she was still under investigation? theguardian.com/uk-news/articl…
Delighted to welcome Laura Anne Jones to Reform UK in Wales today. A woman of energy and conviction. 🏴
