#students in receipt of a Welsh #NHS bursary should have a clear pathway into an NHS job here
That’s not happening for speech & language therapy graduates despite their #skills being in high demand
We must stop the Welsh #braindrain & empower graduates to work in Wales!
🌊 Our local authorities are at risk of drowning in a sea of #debt
🧗♂️Across Clwyd and Wales they are getting closer and closer to the cliff edge especially at this time of high #InterestRates
📚 #libraries are a vital public service, but some in Clwyd have had a 40% cut in opening hours
💷 I’ve called for a change in how our local authorities are funded so that they can be supported to keep libraries open for longer
The strategic road network in Wales has a maintenance backlog of £1.4bn. On top of that local authorities have a £1.7bn backlog!
This could compound debt levels at our local authorities. The Welsh Gov solution: prioritise projects…
All debt has to be managed and paid for!
What a nasty post @SarahCLesadd
🗳️71 MSs including you backed my @RUKWales motion this week. You liked & agreed with our contributions!
📚Judging others for using a library is shameful.While Plaid is spending thousands on credit cards @Cai_ParryJones is careful with public money

🚨 BREAKING 🚨
Whisky tasting in France. Cannes Film Festival tickets. A £1,300 dinner in Dublin. Campervans hired for festivals.
All paid for by YOU on the Welsh Government’s credit card since Plaid Cymru took office in May. And they thought no one would notice, given it took an FOI request from me to find out.
You can tell a lot about a government by what they think they can get away with spending on in their first few months in office.
Keir Starmer was rightly called out for receiving gifts worth tens of thousands of pounds. At least he didn’t force the taxpayer to foot the bill for his frivolous items.
Rhun ap Iorwerth’s government is a different story. Taxpayers should be angry, and they deserve answers.
🌉 Menai: Third Bridge / Trydedd Pont
⏰ Timings/Amserlen:
1. 3 - 5 years/o flynyddoedd (design, assessments, environmental work, statutory consent)
2. 8 - 10 years/o flynyddoedd (to project completion)
Welsh homes should go to Welsh people first
The Welsh Green Party Leader believes that such calls are hateful
There’s nothing more hateful than Greens declaring that believing in the state of #israel is racist
The Plaid & Labour benches were silent when I called out the Greens

💷 £330m has been spent on Active Travel in Wales since 2018
🚴 In 2014 6% of adults cycled for active travel purposes at least once a week. A decade later, there has been no increase
⁉️ Is this a good use of your tax payers money? Absolutely not!
🛣️ £2billion was spent on the Heads of the Valleys Road
⬆️ The projected cost was £1billion
💷 Now the Welsh Gov want to spend another £49million on it… all for a 1% reduction in traffic around Newport. What a total waste of our taxes!
🏃♀️ 🏃 🏃♂️ Hanner Marathon Caerdydd/Cardiff Half #marathon
Good luck to all competing today: the largest mass-participation and multi-charity fundraising event in Wales and second largest! Pob lwc!
