As we head towards the busy Christmas period, privatised Royal Mail has been fined £5.6 million for failing to meet minimum delivery targets.

This is just the latest saga in the privatisation trend. Profits and cost: up. Level of service: down.

Time for renationalisation 📮

Wales has already banned glue traps and snares, now it is time to do the same with cruel breeding cages.

Great to see lots of cross-party support for a ban at the Senedd event hosted by Vikki Howells MS.

The UK Govt's immoral and inhumane plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda has this morning been deemed unlawful.

Instead of fanning the flames of bigotry, it is about time the UK, like Wales, acted as a nation of sanctuary with an asylum policy that treats people with dignity.

5. 'Helping to correct inaccuracies in the Senedd'. Does this include the denial that Valley track is an inherently dangerous track, with boasts of an 'eye-wateringly sharp bend' where dogs frequently 'come to grief.' #CutTheChase

🧵A thread addressing the bold statements in this article from GBGB.
1. 'Social and economic value of greyhound racing'. Valley track race between 11 a.m. & 2.30 p.m. purely to provide a profit-driven live-stream betting product. Nothing cultural or social about it.

Just reading in the MJ two articles about how awful public funding is set to be for councils next year, and then in terms how little extra Barnett funding for Wales. Councils will be pushed to the brink……

🧵1/3 Derek Davy was banned by GBGB for serial doping offences. They've now lifted his ban so he can work with his wife to race at Valley. This is Sienna, owned by Derek Davy, who lost her leg at Valley. Regulation does NOT & NEVER will protect greyhounds. #CutTheChase

Tonight the Senedd voted in favour of calling for a ceasefire in Gaza and Israel.

My contribution to the debate below, in which I called and voted for that ceasefire, along with other members from across the Senedd.

I am delighted that the Senedd has today voted to support an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

The task now is to move forward with the rest of the international community to make a ceasefire a reality #CeasefireNOW

Fantastic news that the Senedd has voted to join calls for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

And well done to all those who joined in a demonstration outside the Senedd this afternoon, in a cross party show of support for a ceasefire and for lasting peace.

#CeasefireNOW

Today, the Senedd has an opportunity to reaffirm Wales' position as a nation of sanctuary, moral integrity and leadership.

Anything but an immediate ceasefire will lead to the theft of yet more humanity from our world.

I will be voting for Rhun ap Iorwerth's motion #CeasefireNOW

Living on the streets is not a 'lifestyle choice'. No one should be punished for being homeless. We know what works, and homelessness can be ended if we make the right policy and budget choices. With wider, systematic change, we can end homelessness for good.
