@NickTorfaen
Welsh Labour MP for Torfaen. Paymaster General and Minister for the Cabinet Office (Minister for the Constitution and European Union Relations).
This Labour Government is establishing a public inquiry into the violent confrontations at Orgreave 41 years ago. Promise made, promise delivered.
On 18 June 1984, the violent clashes at Orgreave and the discredited evidence that followed left lasting scars on the community. This autumn, a public inquiry will begin to uncover the truth, holding those responsible to account and helping to restore confidence in policing.
Business win ✈️ Germany will open passport e-gates to UK frequent travellers by the end of August, cutting queue times and helping people get where they need to go sooner. Find out more: gov.uk/government/new…
Today work begins on building a new electric arc furnace in Port Talbot that will preserve the steel industry and secure over 5,000 jobs. Together, we are shaping a greener, more prosperous future for Wales.
Fewer quangos, stronger powers. Today we set out our plans for a shakeup of the standards landscape with a new Ethics and Integrity Commission and new powers of enforcement. theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

Good 2-0 opening win to start the @ArdalSouthern League season for @blaenavonblues. Well done to @UndyAFC who kept going and never gave up.



With @lynne_neagle & @PantegAnthony campaigning for Chris Peploe, @WelshLabour candidate for the Pontypool Community Council by-election in Trevethin on 31 July. Chris has a record of getting stuck in to deliver for the community-I’ve no doubt she’d do the same for Trevethin.

As local MP, I’m delighted I could deliver this apprenticeship fair bringing together young people and local schools in Torfaen with businesses and training providers. @southwalesargus coverage here: southwalesargus.co.uk/news/25323055.…




Pleased to visit the new @LidlGB store in Cwmbran today - great to hear about their investment and long-term commitment to Torfaen.


Great news that e-gates will be opened in stages for UK travellers to Germany! Prost 🇩🇪 mirror.co.uk/travel/europe/…
International co-operation to break the chain and business model of vile people smugglers 🤝
Germany has committed to change their law so we can disrupt the supply of small boats. Working with our international partners gets results for British people. We will smash the people smuggling gangs and secure our borders.
Me in City AM, talking at the New Covent Garden Market about the strategic partnership between the UK and EU ⬇️ 🇬🇧🤝🇪🇺

My Labour government is delivering for working people across Britain. And we’re only just getting started.
A UK/EU SPS deal will make trade easier, smarter and cheaper for 🇬🇧 growers and traders. Today Minister @NickTorfaen visited New Covent Garden Market to talk about fixing the issues they face getting produce in and out of the UK. gov.uk/government/new…
A very significant day today for Port Talbot and all our Welsh steel communities.
A new era of steelmaking in Port Talbot begins today. Supported by £500m from UK Government, work starts on the construction of @tatasteelUK’s electric arc furnace, securing 5,000 jobs and steel production in the town for generations to come.
Terrible news that four people tragically lost their lives in yesterday’s plane crash at Southend Airport. My thoughts are with their families and loved ones. I also want to thank all the emergency responders who attended the scene.
“It’s not just a state-of-the-art facility, it represents opportunity!” 💬 Torfaen is the latest local authority to benefit from our Fit-For-Future Facilities Programme 🤝 #TogetherStronger
Thank you to everyone involved in organising the Mic Morris Torfaen 10k today. It was a pleasure to run in such a friendly atmosphere, with the marshals giving encouragement, and local people all along the route giving incredible support - and great banter with the MP!
