    I am certain that by the end of this Parliament Labour will be cutting child poverty in a way we've not seen for 15+ years It will have absolutely nothing to do with the 7 attention-seeking MP's voting with Nationalists We're less than 3 weeks into a Labour gov't..

    Ordinary people are running past cars at 20mph? Team GB at next year's Olympics is basically going to be Welsh pedestrians smashing records. Medal table will be amazing! Unless.. it's a lot of hyperbole & bluster trying to stir up trouble for a policy that's largely gone fine?

    'You can practically run faster than drive at 20mph - you see push bikes go past you' What do people think about the new speed limit in Wales? bbc.in/3Fm0SZQ

    So on Cosmeston Street in Cathays, we've had 'doorstep concerts' over the weekend in lockdown and my neighbour agreed she'd sing tonight. Utterly amazing @huwthomas_Wales @ILovesTheDiff @WalesOnline

    That does appear to be what you said. She screenshot it, so your denial looks a bit ludicrous. Even though you used capital letters, which is always more convincing

    New signs up in Cardiff, offering antisocial litterers multiple choice as to why they do it Whatever you take out in public, either put it in a bin or take it home. It's not hard

    He has been treated appallingly His leadership campaign had a large donor, which he declared as per the law: Vaughan broke no Labour Party or Senedd rules, he broke no law, & told the truth about why he sacked a Minister as a leak came from their phone

    David Davis has quit the cabinet, but he's pretty certain that means he can retain the exact same benefits, just on the backbenches. #DDexitmeansDDexit

    Very, very powerful speech from @LyndaT48 about the inequalities that so many #WASPI women have experienced over decades.

    You cannot solve every problem from day one. The priorities of this government are impressive. Child poverty will be reduced *because* of the decisions Labour make now Performative politics is not radical For the first time in 14 years, I'm looking forward to what gov't can do

    Vaughan's service for Wales over many years, & his vision and passion for our future, continues to be impressive There will be many people in Wales - and beyond - inspired by seeing what you achieve; this country should be for all of us. Thank you Vaughan

    I have today written to His Majesty The King to tender my resignation as Prif Weinidog. It has been an honour to serve the people of Wales. The decency, generosity and creative spirit that defines our nation is, and will continue to be, our greatest strength. Diolch o galon.
