Deputy Leader of Welsh Labour

📅Save the date! @carolinenokes and I have a #WorldMenopauseMonth Backbench Business Debate on Thursday 21st October. We’ll be discussing the importance of the #MenopauseRevolution and how we can better support all women.

We're rolling out even more Breakfast Bags today as we move into week 3 of our mission to support kids in #SwanseaEast over the summer hols. Thank you to @Morrisons for the donations! You are making a huge difference to our community.

"I was horrified to see alternatives in other parts of the UK, and feel exceptionally grateful right now we are under the Welsh Government." - A mum from Bridgend w/ two sons aged six & eight.

Bridgend loses out on hundreds of skilled jobs as Boris Johnson dithers on the 'oven-ready' deal he promised. How many more jobs are you going to send overseas, Prime Minister?

CN: Domestic abuse #16days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence reminds us that violence against women and girls is not inevitable. Prevention is possible and essential. Labour won't stop campaigning to #EndVAWG.

🌈 Our @WelshLabour Government has announced record funding to expand the NHS workforce here in Wales. #KeepWalesSafe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 gov.wales/record-funding…

We have some of the best recycling levels in the world, but we want to be even better. Helping our aim to become a zero-waste nation by 2050 - we’re working with partners to trial a digital deposit return scheme for plastic bottles. More information 👇 gov.wales/new-digital-de…

😤 No sign of the money promised by Boris Johnson to pay for storm damage. ❌ No answers on post-EU funding promised to Welsh communities. 💼 Rishi Sunak has once again failed to do the right thing for Wales. #StandingUpForWales | @AnnelieseDodds

💼 Rishi Sunak's Spending Review is a mixture of bad news and no news for Wales. 👇 Welsh Labour Finance Minister @RebeccaEvansMS cuts through the Tory spin 👇

The Chancellor has made the wrong choices and broken promises today. The wrong call on pay is unfair and only squeezes our budgets further. Wales has been betrayed on post EU funding in a Spending Review that does not support a fair recovery across the UK.

New national measures come into effect today 👉 gov.wales/coronavirus ↔️✋😷 Always remember the golden rules: keep your distance, wash your hands, and wear a mask. ❗️Think about who you have contact with, to help keep you, your family and Wales safe. #KeepWalesSafe

❗️This is irresponsible and hypocritical from the local Tory MP who voted for measures in England that he’d opposed in Wales just days before. He should stop playing politics with a global pandemic and start putting the health of residents first.

Next time a Tory MP says they don't want free school meals to make people "overly dependent on the state", show them this. It's not virtue signalling. Free school meals have a real impact on children's lives.

It's brilliant that @SwansOfficial have teamed up with gambling harm reduction charity @the_bigstep to pilot a fantastic new scheme to combat problem gambling. The amazing @nicknongambler explains more 👇 Full story: bit.ly/2HwraxY

New in @TheLancet today: The need for gambling disorder clinics in Wales. "The social impact of problem gambling in Wales has a complex set of drivers across a continuum of harm, with excess fiscal costs of £40—£70 million per year". thelancet.com/journals/lance…
