Good to meet the Children’s Commissioner to discuss the issues facing children, young people and families across Wales. We discussed how, as the Shadow Minister for Education and Families, I can help ensure their voices are heard and continue to push for better outcomes.

Wales needs a skills system that delivers for businesses now - not years down the line. We must tackle skills shortages, expand apprenticeships, support our universities and give people of all ages the opportunities to learn, upskill and succeed. #Skills #Apprenticeships

It was a pleasure to meet with the @ScoutsCymru team at Y Farchnad. We discussed the fantastic work they do supporting young people and volunteers across Wales, and the importance of recognising the value of youth organisations in building confidence, skills and brighter futures.

A fantastic time at the @royalwelshshow The show is a reminder of just how important our farmers and rural communities are to Wales. They deserve a government that backs farming, protects food security, and stands up for our countryside. #SupportOurFarmers #RuralWales

A great day at the Royal Welsh Show! 🐑🌿 It’s been fantastic meeting up with friends old and new, celebrating Welsh farming and enjoying everything the show has to offer. #RoyalWelshShow #RWS2026 #WelshFarming

I'm urging everyone in and around Penley to have their say on the future of Penley Hospital. While I'm disappointed inpatient beds won't return, it's vital local voices are heard as BCUHB consults on the hospital's future. Take part before 7th October, link below👇 #Penley

In my latest Wrexham.com column, I share my concerns about the Welsh Government’s supplementary budget and the need to support businesses, farmers and economic growth. Link to the article in the comments 👇 #FflintWrecsam #Wrexham

Great to meet with @SandsUK today at the Senedd Marketplace event. It was a pleasure to discuss the important work they do to support families affected by baby loss, providing bereavement support, information and a voice for families across Wales.

👁️ People in Fflint Wrecsam are waiting over 2 years for cataract surgery, while patients just over the border in Chester can be treated in weeks. That gap isn't good enough, we need faster access and shorter waits. ⏳🏥 #NHSWales #PatientCare

🔊 @SamRowlands_ spoke to BBC Radio Wales this morning about the Plaid Cymru government's Supplementary Budget

A privilege to attend the Mayor of Wrexham’s Civic Service at St Giles Church yesterday. A wonderful occasion bringing together the community to bless the year ahead for the new Mayor @JeremyWrexham. #Wrexham #Community #CivicService

Following Flintshire Council's seeming gagging order on its elected Councillors, I challenged the Welsh Government to clarify whether Councillors should require permission before speaking with MSs and MPs. #Wales #LocalGovernment #Accountability

Backing Wrexham’s City of Culture bid. Small and independent businesses will be at the heart of welcoming visitors and showcasing all Wrexham offers. We must ensure they have the support to thrive and deliver lasting economic benefits. #CityOfCulture #SupportLocal

It was a pleasure to once again be elected Chair of the Cross-Party Group on Faith in our first meeting this Senedd term. I look forward to continuing to work across party lines to support faith communities across Wales. #Senedd #CrossParty #Faith

It was great to attend the launch of the Wrexham Poverty Action Collaboration (WPAC) event last week and hear their ideas for prosperity in our area. Thank you to everyone involved! #Wrexham #Prosperity #Community

A privilege to spend time with Stepping Stones North Wales in my Fflint Wrecsam constituency and see first-hand the vital support they provide to adult survivors of child sexual abuse, and to their families and loved ones. #FflintWrecsam #Charity #Support

No one in Wales should be left without access to a GP. I’ve raised the ongoing issue affecting residents in Saltney Ferry who still can’t register with a local doctor. The Welsh Government must act to ensure everyone can access the healthcare they deserve. #GPAccess

No school should be forced into deficit simply for meeting its duty to support pupils with Additional Learning Needs. The funding is there - it must reach the frontline, where it's needed most. #ALN #Education
