I have had the joy to work with Lee in Cardiff council & following in his footsteps as CYP chair.
I have seen Lee’s drive & passion to improve the lives & opportunities for children & young people.
Lee would be an asset to the Welsh Government & I am very glad to support him.

“Accusations ruin people’s lives” yet I see Chris Brown and Marilyn Manson posters plastered all over Cardiff for their gigs in the utilita 🙄
I had the honour of meeting Claire during the 2022 local elections.
She was a strong, passionate and caring woman who inspired me and many other women.
My thoughts are with her friends and family
We are heartbroken to share that Claire O’Shea passed away today surrounded by her loved ones.
Anyone who had the privilege of meeting Claire will remember her vibrancy, humour, and incredible determination.

@DaisyBlakemore perfectly sums up what it is like to be a young woman in politics.
Fantastic article Daisy!

Thank you to @09bridgey for coming to my scrutiny today to talk about personal/period dignity today and showing members the free period products available to hubs across Cardiff for FREE!
I love how everyone is referencing Scotland for votes at 16, as if it is the only county in Britain to do it.
Wales has it too…
👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
As it’s been a year since I was selected as a Labour councillor-
Being a young, elected woman in politics is never easy. I’ll never forget the day after I was elected—someone said to me, “It’s not going to be easy. The other women will see you as a threat.” That stuck with me. But I’ve never believed in tearing others down to lift myself up. I believe in empowering one another, in collaboration over competition, and in driving real, meaningful change—together.
What I’ve come to realise is that people often mistake youth for naivety, and kindness for weakness. But that couldn’t be further from the truth—not for our generation. We’re not naïve, we’re not gullible. We’re the generation that’s been forgotten in policy after policy. We’re the ones who’ve had to fight to be heard. And we are fighting.
Then there are whispers—warnings for others to stay away from me. And I have to ask: why? Is it because I’m a woman? Because I’m young? Or is it because I’m a threat to the status quo?
Politics isn’t easy. And if a young woman—or any young person—came to me and said they wanted to get involved, I’d tell them this: nothing is ever quite what it seems.
There are two kinds of people in politics—those who want to change the world, and those who want to rule it. If you’re going to step into this world, walk in with your head high and your values unshakable. Never compromise your morals. Stand for something, or risk falling for anything.

My little sister has gone for her first big school trip early hours this morning. I cannot wait to hear all about it when she’s back but for now X is how I will have my updates.
Wishing everyone a great time!
We’ve arrived safely, and we are about to get on a coach to the hotel. There is even a little bit of snow on the ground!

What an honour to speak to year 4 today!
Fantastic questions and a great to see young people interested in engaging in politics to benefit their community.
Dosbarth Severn (Y4) have had a great morning meeting @MoultrieJess our local councillor for Pentwyn within our @PoliticsProject campaign! Jess was a great, and promised to take action towards getting a zebra crossing to keep us safe 🚦❤️ #stdavidsciwSevern #stdavidsciwHumanities
What a year 2024 has been!
The year we were finally blessed with a Labour government 🥳
I became scrutiny chair, and started working for an MP. I got elected as WYL rep on the NYLC and elected on the NPF!
Thank you to those who helped create unforgettable memories this year.
Fantastic biscuits at tonight’s @Springwood_Prm full governing body meeting!!!
Thank you to officers and workers of the council on the ball last night and tonight.
Tree had fallen on Pentwyn drive this morning and cleared quickly so that the buses were able to resume!

Today we said good bye to the best campaign pal I have ever had.
13 years with you was not enough Elwood, I can’t wait to hold you in my arms again one day.
Thank you for being the best good boy there was 💖
