Talking to people in Caerphilly today the surprise wasn’t that Labour’s vote crumbled, it was that Plaid beat Reform itv.com/news/wales/202…

❤️. Made in Llanrumney. Made for Wales.

So @WelshRugbyUnion women have a new Head Coach. Fresh from an unprecedented three @ThePWR titles in a row, family has always been central to his approach. So I asked him what exactly that meant.... would he reveal the secret?!

Ever heard the one about the daffodil contributing to World Peace....?🌼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 ⬇️Hidden histories of Wales' national flower 📽️ itv.com/watch/news/the…

Everyone in our newsroom knows how important this story is for the people of Port Talbot and further afield. How we tell it really matters to us and it’s amazing to see that being recognised by one of the biggest awards in TV news.

Tomorrow's results return to pre-pandemic marking

We spent the day with world class hat maker Alison Tod, from Abergavenny ⬇️

@Tomoswood Hi, I'm a reporter with ITV Wales I'm working on a piece involving Welsh students going to Oxbridge and wondered whether we could have a chat? My email is megan.boot@itv.com Diolch

So @PrifWeinidog shatters the glass ceiling but long established difficulties remain 🎥 54 secs explainer ⬇️ The full article itv.com/news/wales/202… #megsminutes

"We've finally smashed through that glass funnel" @yLlywydd finishing a historic plenary in the Senedd today

"At last" @DoddsJane on @Eluned_Morgan as the second female party leader in the Senedd "I'm really delighted to see a woman leading a party" "It's about a more equal politics, a more compassionate politics"

Next, @Plaid_Cymru give their congratulations, but add "this isn't a tidy transfer of power" @RhunapIorwerth & say labour in other parts of UK have called for elections when there have been so many leadership changes.

Congratulations and humour from @AndrewRTDavies towards @Eluned_Morgan -- "I think you'll be the fourth FM I've had the opportunity to do that with [debate], that most probably speaks maybe more to my electoral failure... than ultimately your ability to answer those questions!"

"I couldn't ask for a more capable political partner" @Eluned_Morgan on @huw4ogmore - he will be her deputy, and the combination of the two of them is also designed to unite a Labour Senedd group that's been divided.

@Eluned_Morgan 2/2 "I look forward to the day when a women becoming First Minister is no longer extraordinary"

1/2 On becoming the first women FM: @Eluned_Morgan "this isn't just about shattering glass ceilings, it's about shattering them forever" "women watching today, you need to know your potential is limitless"

@Eluned_Morgan @Eluned_Morgan first words are 'diolch' - thank you, describing it as the 'honour of her life'.

BREAKING: @Eluned_Morgan gets the votes to become First Minister of Wales. The King will officially appoint her.

So @DoddsJane has just abstained in First Minister nominations, Labour/Plaid and Tories nominating their party leaders as expected, so @Eluned_Morgan expected to get the numbers for nomination

Task facing Eluned Morgan: ➡️ Unite divided Labour group in Senedd ➡️ Get opposition party support for budget/legislation ➡️ 2026 election when "funding is shrinking and the ability to blame Conservative UK governments has disappeared" @adrianmasters84 ⬇️
