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
00:00 - 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.

00:00 - 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
00:00 - ๐ฉธ This week is National Blood Donor Week! โค๏ธ Did you know, one donation can save up to 3 people's lives! ๐ Help @WelshBlood by booking a lifesaving appointment wbs.wales/nbdw2026
- 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
00:00 - 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 ๐ Read more on this here
