A lovely honour to be invited to cut the ribbon at the opening of the Santa Express at the beautiful Llangollen Railway at the weekend.
I used to take my children on the Santa Express, and now take my grandchildren too.
The railway is one of the many reasons why Llangollen is such a special place.

I am delighted that over 21,000 potholes have been repaired across North Wales in just the last 6 months.
This comes after more funding was released by the Welsh Government on the back of my campaign for highway improvements to be prioritised.

This week, at FMQs, I asked Eluned Morgan for the adoption of a 'not for reassessment' marker for a fairer Blue Badge renewal process.
I’m pleased the First Minister confirmed this approach is now being strengthened with new guidance and training for local authorities. A positive step forward! ♿🚗

Patriotic Millionaires came to Stroud and ‘parked the bus’. On their way to London campaigning for a wealth tax. Seems an overwhelmingly popular idea to me, in all my interactions - fans according to all polling, our Giga Poll and the polling of millionaires that PM did.

Lovely to take in the stunning Welsh countryside this weekend on a trail walk in the Eryri National Park.
In North Wales, we are particularly lucky to live with so many areas of natural beauty right on our doorsteps. As custodians, we must protect them so they can be enjoyed by future generations.

Nigel Farage thinks the minimum wage for young people might be “too high”.
When many are struggling to make ends meet, Reform UK’s answer is to make life harder for young workers.
While they talk about cutting young people’s pay, Labour in Wales is capping their bus fares at £1.
