Today Stephen Kinnock says “Plaid and Reform offer the same poison”, recycling an attack used by Eluned Morgan exactly a year ago. Thousands of Labour voters went on to back Plaid Cymru. Labour seems more interested in insulting voters' choices than reflecting on why it lost.

I presume that this is down to me mentioning that Queen recorded Bohemian Rhapsody at Rockfield Studios in the Senedd this week!

What should Wales look like in 2050? I want you to help decide. @WelshGovernment is starting a national conversation about our homes, jobs, transport, countryside, climate, Welsh language and culture. Have your say by 20 November. gov.wales/node/77931/respond…

Where was Ed Milliband when Kier Starmer was saying Israel had every right to cut off water to the Palestinians? I’m glad that action is being taken and the obvious is finally being called out, but at least 40,000 Palestinian people have died since this escalation.

And yet Reform claims they want to protect women

🚨 REFORM CONFERENCE DESCENDS INTO SHAME!🚨 I hate protesters storming political events, but what happened next was worse. As security tried to remove her, some Reform supporters allegedly grabbed, slapped and punched her instead of letting security do their job. I repeat: there is nothing the Conservatives can do to win some of these people over. This isn’t politics anymore — it’s a cult. 🤦🏽‍♂️

⚠️ The wildfire emergency continues across Wales. Here’s what the Plaid Cymru Government is doing in response 👇
1. Coordinating the emergency response (Working with Fire and Rescue Services and other agencies to manage the emergency across Wales.) 2. Army involvement (The Army are now helping firefighters following a request for military assistance by the Welsh Government.) 3. Supporting communities (The Welsh Government is also providing support to residents who have lost their homes.)

The impact of these wildfires has been twofold. The immediate effect on land, property, and nature has been devastating. But this new research into the wider impact of the fire on air quality in Torfaen and the surrounding area is incredibly worrying. 1/4

I am also concerned about those who have worked so hard to bring the blaze under control, and the effect these carbon emmisions will have on them. I will raise this matter in the Senedd at the earliest opportunity. 3/4

The data showing Torfaen ranked fourth in the world for the scale of wildfire carbon emissions during July and August must be considered by the Welsh Government and the impact this will have on developing respiratory issues in young people in the future must be monitored. 4/4
