Great to be out campaigning in my home town of Blaenavon ahead of the Senedd Election on 7 May for Sir Fynwy Torfaen’s @welshlabour candidates: @lynne_neagle, @panteganthony, @LauraWrightAber, Catrin Maby, Ben Callard, Nick Byrne & Su McConnell.

With @UKLabour new Steel Strategy, the future of Welsh steelmaking has never been brighter. We are doing whatever it takes to boost production and protect the steelmaking jobs in our communities. Vital for our national security, infrastructure and wider economy too. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Waiting lists have fallen for eight months in a row. This is the most sustained period of reduction on record. This follows the largest budget settlement since devolution, with our @UKLabour & @WelshLabour Governments working in partnership to deliver for our NHS.

“I’ve got it in front of me…it's 22 pages long and it's got 56 wet stamps on it.” Cabinet Office minister Nick Thomas-Symonds expresses his frustration with red tape caused by Brexit, saying the forms businesses need to fill in are damaging trade. @KateEMcCann @StigAbell

🇬🇧🤝🇪🇺 Minister for @cabinetofficeuk @NickTorfaen met with @EP_President Roberta Metsola in Brussels ahead of the 7th UK-EU Parliamentary Partnership Assembly. Discussions focused on EU‑UK parliamentary cooperation and the role of the PPA in supporting the UK‑EU relationship.

In Brussels today for meetings with @EP_President Metsola, Commissioner @MarosSefcovic, and to address the UK-EU Parliamentary Partnership Assembly. 🇬🇧🇪🇺🤝 The UK is committed to working with the EU to address shared challenges in security, defence, and the economy.

The UK and the EU are facing very similar challenges going forward. On both sides of the Channel we are looking to generate growth. Read my interview with @DavidPBMaddox here:  independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

Well done @WelshRugbyUnion! Commiserations to @Federugby #WALvITA

I’m sorry to hear about the loss of Phil Woolas who served the people of Oldham East and Saddleworth as their local MP, and served the wider country as a Minister. My thoughts are with his family and many friends.

A privilege to open the 60th Anniversary Exhibition at Llantarnam Grange Arts Centre today alongside @lynne_neagle. Leo Abse performed the formal opening of the Centre in April 1966 - thank you to everyone who has worked to make it such a success since.

Out campaigning today in Pontnewydd ahead of the Senedd Election on 7 May for Sir Fynwy Torfaen’s @WelshLabour candidates: @lynne_neagle, Anthony Hunt, Laura Wright, Catrin Maby, Ben Callard, Nick Byrne & Su McConnell. Thank you to everyone who took the time to chat to us!

Yesterday the final stages of the Bill to remove hereditary peers concluded. Parliament should be a place where talents are recognised. It should never be a place where titles handed out centuries ago hold power over the people. I’m proud to have delivered this manifesto pledge.

I also want to pay tribute to everyone who made sacrifices during the pandemic to keep the British public safe. This government remains committed to learning the lessons from the pandemic to ensure that the UK is better prepared for the future. (2/2)

Six years on from the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, this is an important day for people across the country to come together, reflect and remember the quarter of a million people who lost their lives. (1/2)

On #InternationalWomensDay I want to thank three extraordinary women: my late grandmother Olwyn who advised me to enter politics to deliver change, my late mother Pam who taught me the importance of putting compassion into action and my wife Rebecca who inspires me every day.

Delighted to welcome @JamesFrith to the @cabinetofficeuk ministerial team today, and to celebrate @RuthAnderson’s promotion to @cabinetofficeuk minister in the @UKHouseofLords. 👇

The UK is fully committed to the security of Cyprus and British military personnel based there. We’re continuing our defensive operations and I've just spoken with the President of Cyprus to let him know that we are sending helicopters with counter drone capabilities and HMS Dragon is to be deployed to the region. We will always act in the interest of the UK and our allies.

Working with the Chancellor delivering for the country on the UK-EU reset is one of the favourite parts of my job. We're tearing down trade barriers and growing our economy-we're determined to keep delivering for people on jobs, bearing down on bills, and securing our borders.

Fairness you feel, in your payslip, your community, your public services. That’s our promise to you. Great morning at #Newport Market for the launch of @WelshLabour’s Senedd election campaign with @Eluned_Morgan and our brilliant candidates. A new chapter for Wales starts here.

I know the situation in the Middle East is worrying for British people in the region, and at home. It’s my duty as Prime Minister to keep British people safe. I will be answering questions on the steps we took over the weekend in Parliament. Watch at 3:30pm. parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/83…
