Welsh Labour has secured more funding for children and young people with additional learning needs. We will continue to work with teaching unions, local government leaders and teaching professionals to ensure we always get the best possible deal.

In an ever-changing world, the UK having its own tech infrastructure is crucial. We do not want to be reliant on other countries. With the right planning they can be powered with clean nuclear power. But we need skilled union workers to build the data centres.

I’m not usually one to defend Zack Polanski, but the idea he doesn’t have at least one single connection to Camden is just nonsense. Look, here he is standing for the council there in 2015… as a Lib Dem… during the austerity coalition…

Having worked alongside @JoStevensLabour for many years, I’ve seen first-hand her passion & commitment to Cardiff and Wales. Few Welsh Secretaries have come close to delivering what Jo has - securing £14bn of rail enhancements, AI Growth Zones, new nuclear in North Wales & more.

The fact that Welsh Green Party leader @as_penarth did not turn up for this vote either is deeply concerning. Link to article: bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crmr…

Funny how some think voting the same way as Reform is a "betrayal of Wales" when Labour does it to secure more money for schools. But when Plaid Cymru votes with Reform to open the possibility of culling badgers? Silence. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crmr…

The truth is Plaid Cymru didn't give ALN a penny. They were shamed into putting £40m on the table this year, and maybe £40m next year. Teachers and Unions are clear it's not enough. Labour would agree a deal that gives schools what's needed, but Plaid would rather play politics.
Plaid Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
@Plaid_CymruJul 10
The Plaid Cymru Government has put £80m on the table to strengthen the ALN system. Labour have walked away. By voting against the Supplementary Budget, Labour would also be blocking £145m for the NHS, £55m for childcare and £15m for free school meals.

Imagine waiting 100 years to win an election and then your first act on the Economy is to hand some of your strongest lever to a bunch of unelected technocrats! There will be huge concerns in many key Welsh industries tonight about what some of these Cabinet appointments signal.

@Joe___AllenMay 13
Despite Plaid putting a lot of emphasis on their economic plan, when pushed for an early, tangible change that people will see the answer on the economy is: "We're going to start devoloping a new quango."

Farage isn’t offering anything new for Wales. He’s just parachuted in a former Tory Council Leader from the London Borough of Barnet to lead his party in Wales. Reform Wales: Led by Tories.
