Named as BBC 's 100 women of 2021.
๐ Over the moon to be elected @WelshConserv MS for Newport and Islwyn!
๐ Thank you to everyone who voted for me and supported my campaign.
๐ฃ๏ธ Canโt wait to get back to work serving our fantastic community!
11 Reform MSs broke the whip yesterday to side with Plaid Cymru in criticising their own Party.
Even their own Members know Reform has a childcare problem.
When we said it would be interesting ....
The ONLY @Plaid_Cymru signatory (so far) to this Statement of Opinion has mysteriously disappeared from it.
We can only presume he removed his support. What we don't know is WHY he has become reluctant to say he supports women's rights
It will be very interesting to see which MSs sign @natasghar's excellent Statement of Opinion ๐on the EHRC Code and the protection of women's rights in Wales. Who could possibly disagree with any of the points?
And we are delighted that our own hard work gets a mention too!
โ A government cannot pick & choose which laws it follows
๐งโโ๏ธYet that's exactly what is happening inside the Welsh Government in relation to the Supreme Court's ruling on sex.
๐We need action - not more excuses and delays
๐ I have tabled a Statement of Opinion on the importance of restoring & protecting single-sex spaces
๐จ The Welsh Government must now take action.
๐ Huge thanks to those MSs who have already supported my Statement, and I hope more will follow.
๐จ Labour dragged its heels in implementing the Supreme Court's ruling on sex & it looks like that will continue under Plaid
๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ By not acting now, we are leaving women & girls across Wales at risk.
๐ It's time for the Govt to put the safety of women and girls first
๐จ Potholes are a major problem & pose a real danger to all road users
โ Recently I witnessed a woman using a mobility scooter topple over as she hit a pothole whilst trying to cross the road
๐ Welsh Govt needs to provide extra funding to ensure our roads are fit for purpose
๐ฉธ This week is National Blood Donor Week!
โค๏ธ Did you know, one donation can save up to 3 people's lives!

๐จ Plaid Cymru's 4 MPs voted against the protections women-only spaces provide to vulnerable women across Wales.
โ Plaid needs to explain why they are siding against women-only spaces
๐ Women in Wales deserve clarity, dignity and safety

๐ Today marks the start of Carers Week, a chance for us to shine a light on the fantastic work unpaid carers do every single day
โThe care they provide is immeasurably valuable, yet many feel forgotten
๐ That must change & I just want to say a huge thank you for all you do
๐ฅ The NHS should be an apolitical organisation, where everyone feels safe
๐จ Following a very concerning review, I've written to the Health Minister about what steps he will be taking to tackle antisemitism in the Welsh NHS
