Today, these people are bending the knee to a man who threatens untold damage to our peace, security and prosperity. I can't do much about it, but one thing I can do is get myself off here. If you care to, you can find me on Bluesky.

genuinely lost my respect for this and i regret my vote. rhun’s entire platform for the election was that he wouldn’t seek independence during this electoral term but then does publicity stunts like this.
A privilege to welcome the leaders of the SNP and Sinn Féin to Wales at what is an important moment in our politics.   Our parties have much to gain from working together, as partners and as equals, where we share common interests and where cooperation can improve the lives of the people we represent. Today, we have commited to strengthening cooperation between our parties and identifying practical areas where working together can make a real difference for our nations.

We can't let British democracy turn into a plaything for overseas billionaires with short attention spans. At PMQs, I urged the Prime Minister to work with us to make sure power always sits with the voters, not wealthy foreign oligarchs.

Today I was granted an urgent question to ask @FCDOGovUK about the humanitarian crisis in Northern Gaza. To ask if the government is really doing everything they can to achieve a ceasefire. And whether they were doing all they could to save Palestinians form needless suffering.

This is such sad news for our entire @LibDems and @WelshLibDems family. Jenny was a true force for good in our Lords team and as a minister in Cardiff Bay and Westminster. She was dedicated, kind and respected. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends.
Our hearts are full of grief and sadness today at the passing of our own Jenny Randerson. Jenny was a great friend and colleague to us all, and worked so hard for the Lib Dem group in the Lords, as she'd done for the Party the whole of her life. She was one of the very best.

Immensely sad to hear this news today. Jenny was one of those people I always looked forward to seeing and hearing from. She was ever wise in her advice, and her influence is still felt to this day by people here in Cardiff and beyond. – at Cardiff, Wales
It is with huge sadness that we announce the death of Baroness Jenny Randerson, who passed away at her home in Cardiff on Saturday at the age of 76.

I was shocked when she said yes to launch the 2016 Senedd campaign of a bolshy 20-something who'd not even held his deposit the previous year. But that struck to the core of who she was - always willing to do what she could to help the party and to spread our liberal message. – at Cardiff, Wales

Why won't they answer the question? Yesterday I questioned Amazon on why so many workers in the UK have gone on strike.

So many pensioners in Splott, Tremorfa and Pengam Green tell me they're worried about how they'll afford to heat their homes this winter. Some of them are just above the pension credit threshold - far from well off - yet had hundreds of pounds taken off them by the Labour Govt.
While the Conservatives undoubtedly left this government a dire fiscal inheritance, that's no excuse to push more pensioners into poverty as the temperature plummets. Cutting this allowance will drive more vulnerable older people into poverty, forcing them to choose between heating and eating.

Politicians must do all we can to restore public trust in politics after the chaos of the last Conservative government. It is way past time for a proper democratic reform of the House of Lords.

Hospitals across Wales are unable to discharge patients due to a lack of social care, while local councils are buckling under the financial pressure of providing these services. We cannot solve the crisis in the Welsh NHS without tackling the problems in social care.

It's bin day tomorrow in Splott. This week, it's general (bin or max 3 bags), glass & food bin with red & blue sacks, bring your bags in as soon as can. Top tip: put your house numbers on your red/blue bags so you can identify them after collection. – at Cardiff, Wales

I don't normally dress up for Halloween... But thought the @KeepSplottTidy Spooktacular litter pick should be an exception. Great to see so many people out on a Sunday morning helping to clean up our community. Rhys and I filled four bags between us! – at Cardiff, Wales

Tried to raise safety in Splott Park at Council today. Disappointed that instead of focusing on solutions, I was accused of politicising a very serious issue without any thought to personal experience I might have with sexual assault. I just want to make my community safer. – at Cardiff, Wales
There are 2 public questions today. The first is about the safety of parks in Splott, Tremorfa and Pengam Green from @CadanapTomos . He raised concerns about lack of action to tackle violence and anti-social behaviour in parks. He called for better lighting to make parks safety

Chris Hoy is an absolute hero. Thoroughly kind and decent in every fibre of his being. The best of humanity.

Lovely to welcome @CamThomasMP to Cardiff last night for @cardifflibdems' annual dinner. He told of how he won Tewkesbury through sheer hard work and determination, building momentum in an area neglected by the ruling party. Something to aspire to..! – at Cardiff, Wales
