Aren’t these things already illegal? . Existing laws against harassment, intimidation and physical violence should be enforced properly. We do not want or need laws which criminalise criticism or scrutiny of Islam or Islamic practices.

Protecting believers, not beliefs. For example: bacon pinned to mosque doors, bricks thrown through mosque windows, hijabs being pulled from women’s heads, abuse directed at people because of their religion. All things that have happened to my Muslim constituents.

Deeply concerned to hear Lis Burnett, Labour Leader of the Vale of Glamorgan Council, apparently threaten to use the standards process against councillors who speak out against her authority's inappropriate and widely unpopular decision to open an aqua park at Cosmeston Lakes.

There's lots to digest from this report. However, one thing that concerns me is the prospect of giving more powers to Natural Resources Wales, the Senedd's failed environmental regulator. Don't forget, of the top 20 most polluted rivers in Britain, 5 are located in Wales. I've

It’s with remembering that on the first day of the Royal Welsh we are still waiting to hear if the Welsh Labour Government agree with the U.K. Climate Change Committee’s recommendation to reduce livestock numbers in Wales by 19%. Might also be worth asking Plaid and Lib Dem’s the.

Another Saturday morning spent out speaking to residents in Barry. Yet again, the two main topics that came up were overdevelopment and immigration. Last week, an activist from another party claimed there was no link between the two issues. I disagree strongly. And from the

Many don’t understand how Labour and Plaid, at least as far as the Senedd is concerned, are joined at the hip. Keir Starmer has, rightly, refused to devolve youth justice, probation and the Crown Estate to the Senedd, presumably because he recognises the mess ministers have.

The only love affair happening in Wales, is the never ending one between Labour & Plaid Cymru in the Senedd. The only way to stop the 'Clocks' on this relationship is to vote @WelshConserv. We will #FixWales at the 'Speed of Sound'.

Senedd expansion must be reversed. We do not need 36 more Senedd members. We need more doctors, nurses and teachers. Since we've had devolution, there's been an assumption that things can only go one way. That once the Senedd gets bigger, we can't go back to how things were.

Suggestions the Cosmeston aqua park lease could last as long as 15 years deeply concern me. But emails obtained and shared by the "Save Cosmeston and the Vale" action group appear to show this could be the case. A document titled “Cosmeston Meeting 30/1/2025 – Advance Notes For

The Nation of Sanctuary came up on the doorstep in Barry on the weekend. Residents, who face an inappropriate development of up to 400 houses on land near a busy road junction, realise the pressures uncontrolled immigration causes. The Vale has faced overdevelopment for years.

Building almost 400 houses on land at Weycock Cross in Barry will be disastrous for the local community. The adjacent road junction is already at capacity, and residents tell us they struggle to get GP appointments as it is. Local schools, meanwhile, face a funding crisis.

Frankly unbelievable that on the day the Welsh Government’s new farming support scheme is published with huge consequences for Wales, the Plaid Cymru leader stands up at First Minister’s Questions to argue for Wales to leave the United Kingdom. On another planet.

It’s both concerning and unacceptable Senedd ministers have failed to publish an impact assessment into the revised scheme. Let’s not forget, it was the impact assessment into the previous scheme, brought forward as part of the “co-operation agreement” between Labour and Plaid

Labour Senedd member backs YesCymru, a group committed to breaking up our nation. I won’t mislead and say Labour is a separatist party. They aren’t. Most Labour MPs are pretty sensible on this. But their Senedd group is a different matter. Keir Starmer needs to step in. Urgently.

Standing with @YesCymru at the Senedd in support of devolving the Crown Estate to Wales. With backing from all 22 Welsh local authorities and cross-party support in the Senedd, it’s clear: it’s time for Wales to take control of its own natural resources. #DevolveTheCrownEstate

No it isn’t. It’s obvious uncontrolled migration causes huge pressures on housing and public services. Overdevelopment is one of many consequences. Many politicians lie and pretend the two aren’t linked, but I’d rather be honest with the public. I make no apologies for saying the.

@AndrewRTDavies Pressures on infrastructure such as roads, GPs schools etc have to be considered with respect to any development of this scale. Clearly people want to live in Barry and why not. But to attempt to link that to migration is just dog whistling.

This is a disgrace. This man should never even have been considered for an honour and those who awarded it have serious questions to answer. There’s something very rotten at the heart of many institutions and it needs rooting out.

That smear doesn’t work anymore. It’s perfectly reasonable to raise concerns about immigration, and warn that overdevelopment is a consequence. And it’s “Nant Talwg”, not “Nat Talwg” 👍.

@AndrewRTDavies Nimbyism is alive and well in Nat Talwg, Barry, supported by the Welsh Conservatives, who link it to race baiting.
