Reform’s most recent leader in Wales (they haven’t had one since) sent down for ten and half years for accepting Russian bribes. Farage, his always eager for media colleagues and his keyboard warriors all unusually quiet today…..

I support @AnthonyNolan and Communities vs Blood Cancer. Every year in the UK, more than 2,000 blood cancer patients need a stem cell donor to save their life. Join the register, save a life https://t.co/JKLYifbQFM

Illegal off-road bikers and anti-social drivers are a menace. It’s been great to see such strong action taken by Gwent Police recently. I was pleased to hear the Prime Minister reaffirm Labour’s commitment to keeping our streets safe in response to my question #PMQs

I visited a local sports club – the Aberbargoed Pistol and Rifle Club – recently to hear about a dispute the club is in with Vodafone over rent paid for hosting a telecoms mast on their land. I raised this issue on their behalf today and will be following it up with Vodafone.

As Chair of the Parkrun APPG, it was a pleasure to welcome parkrun staff and new CEO Elizabeth Duggan to Parliament to celebrate parkrun's 21st birthday. Parkrun has grown into a global phenomenon. It's 21st year is a testament to the power of friendship, fitness & volunteering.

New UK Government fund of more than half a billion pounds will create jobs, grow the economy and boost living standards. Decisions about how to spend this money will be made here in Wales, because local people know what's best for their communities.

I am horrified by the attack outside the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. My thoughts are with the Jewish community, the loved ones of all those affected, and the brave first responders.

We will end decline, reform our public services, and grow our economy. Britain can come together, pursue a shared destination, and unite around a common good. That is the purpose of this government.

People have a right to peaceful protest. It is core to our country’s values. But we will not stand for assaults on police officers doing their job or for people feeling intimidated on our streets because of their background or the colour of their skin. Britain is a nation
