Claire Archibald MS

From entering the care system at three weeks old to standing in the Senedd. I don’t stand here today as someone who failed — because along the way, people refused to fail me. That’s what drives my work. Grateful to the BBC for covering it. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Great to speak with @policylaila about the late, great Ann Widdecombe and how vital it is for politics to truly represent the people @RUKWales @reformparty_uk

Reform wins again. The Senedd has backed Reform Wales' motion requiring the Welsh Government to properly consider targeted wildlife control to eradicate bovine TB.

Two months in the Senedd. 11 oral questions. 67 written questions. 54 pieces of casework. 30 organisations met. 5 speeches. And one motion- to give care-experienced children in Wales the statutory protections they’re owed. It passed unanimously. It’s not binding- but the Government is open to legislating, and I’ll be meeting with the Minister in the months ahead.

Behind every bovine TB statistic is a farming family facing heartbreak. This is not about politics. It’s about standing with farming families and finally taking action. @LauraJ4SWEast

Rhun doesn't do detail. No detail on two-year waits. No detail on M4 congestion. No detail on childcare. No detail on what Plaid's definition of a woman is.

🚑 In October 2025, 528 ambulance handovers in Hywel Dda took over an hour. I pressed the Welsh Government for action, but its response gave no deadline and no clear target. Warm words are not enough. I will keep pushing until these delays come down.

Today I visited HAHAV’s Living Well Centre in Aberystwyth. Having worked in end-of-life care, I know how vital these services are. Everyone deserves dignity, compassion and peace at the end of life. I’ll keep pressing the Welsh Government on hospice and palliative care funding.

Today I vote on the Welsh Government’s Supplementary Budget. With councils struggling to fund ALN, newly qualified healthcare workers needing jobs & families under pressure, Wales must come first.

Nigel Farage has made it clear. This by-election is the establishment vs the people.

It’s typical of Labour that Andy Burnham’s first instinct is to raise taxes. Britain can’t afford it. The only solution is to cut wasteful spending so we can give hard-pressed families some relief.

Ryan Morgan is a brilliant candidate, it was great to knock doors with him over the weekend 💪

Proud to join the Health & Social Care Committee. I’ll be scrutinising NHS services, social care, public health, mental health, workforce pressures, waiting lists and health spending. I’m ready to hold Welsh Government to account.

@Hillofwad I am incredibly happy to see that has gone ahead. So much work we do as Members is behind the scenes, and the real tangible wins like this are worth celebrating.

@Claire_ReformUK The Paul Sartori Foundation have enjoyed a continuing and long standing cooperation with Withybush Hospital since it was set up in 1982 With or without the support of local MSs Yet another photoshoot opp.

I’m delighted to have helped secure a new weekly Paul Sartori support service at Withybush Hospital. After raising this directly with healthcare representatives, Paul Sartori will now be at Withybush every Friday, helping patients, families and carers access vital support.

@Hillofwad Hi, when I met with Paul Sartori recently, they said they were struggling for referrals, and would like to use this space inside the hospital. Then when I met with the health board a few weeks later, I brought this up & requested that Paul Sartori use the space. I

@Cai_ParryJones Thanks Cai :)

@Claire_ReformUK Brilliant result Claire, that’s going to help so many people. Keep up the amazing work!

What a result!!! WIN for @reformparty_uk 💪🏼🩵🥂 HUGE Congratulations to new Councillor Jonathan Hollins for Llantarnam! 👏🏻👏🏻 Excellent news and thoroughly deserved!

A lovely moment in the Pembrokeshire County Council chamber, with a councillor recognising the support that has been given locally.

@Hillofwad @reformparty_uk @RUKWales @LlyrPowell @LauraJ4SWEast @joemartin1066 There were a few members of other parties, quite literally a couple from each. We far outnumbered the others, it’s a sad fact.

@Claire_ReformUK @reformparty_uk @RUKWales @LlyrPowell @LauraJ4SWEast @joemartin1066 Are you intimating that the other parties were not repesented ? Cheap shot That certainly wasn't the case

Last week’s armed forces event in the Senedd. Which party came out in force?
