Definitely. Something I feel very passionate about.

It’s crucial the Welsh Government responds to the recommendations and takes action. Having worked closely with flooded communities since 2020, it’s clear that progress is far too slow and greater support is needed urgently. 2/2

This is a really important report by the Senedd’s Climate Change committee, and I’m pleased I was able to contribute to it by asking the committee to undertake the inquiry, by providing evidence and also taking part in one day of scrutiny. 1/2

Hynod o drist clywed bod Hefin David AS wedi marw.

Ar y sgrin, roedden ni wastad yn dadlau a herio’n gilydd. Ond tu hwnt i hynny, roedd ein sgyrsiau'n llawn chwerthin, cellwair a charedigrwydd.

Mae fy meddyliau gyda Vikki, ei blant annwyl a'i deulu.

Bydd colled fawr ar ei ôl.

Devastating to hear that Hefin David MS has died.

On screen, we debated each other with gusto, always. Off screen, our conversations were filled with laughter, banter and kindness.

My thoughts are with Vikki, his much loved children and family.

He will be greatly missed.

Siomedig nad oes stondin gan Amgueddfa Cymru ar faes yr eisteddfod eleni.

Arbennig o bwysig mewn ardaloedd lle nad oes amgueddfa genedlaethol megis Wrecsam bod sefydliadau cenedlaethol yn dangos eu perthnasedd i’r ardal a chysylltu gyda cynulleidfaoedd newydd.

A really heartbreaking story from #Pontypridd of this young lad and his family dealing with early onset MND. Great that the crowdfunder has hit its first target - hopefully more will follow.

Great work from local MS @heleddfychan.bsky.social for pushing this to WG!

Plaid Cymru, or Reform? 🤔

With each poll, it's becoming clearer that Plaid Cymru is the only party that can stand up to the rise of Reform across Wales.

In 2026, vote for a Plaid Cymru government to give Wales the fresh start it needs. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿✨

Plaid Cymru, neu Reform? 🤔

Gyda pob pol, mae'n dod yn gliriach fyth mai dim ond Plaid Cymru all atal Reform rhag cipio grym yng Nghymru.

Yn 2026, pleidleisiwch dros lywodraeth Plaid Cymru i roi'r dechrau newydd sydd wir ei hangen ar Gymru. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿✨

Great to see @arc-trust.bsky.social getting @heleddfychan.bsky.social out a couple of weeks ago to see the Great Crested Newt she champions.

Big thank you to @nationaltrust.org.uk Dyffryn Gardens for hosting & well done to Heledd for working overtime & visiting the nocturnal critters in the dark!

Heledd Fychan MS and Peter Hill (from Amphibian & Reptile Conservation) looking straight to camera and smiling. Heledd is holding a bright torch, aimed at the ground, and Peter is holding a plastic tub and long-handled orange net. They're lit up oddly beautifully from the inadvertent torch light.

(C) Chris Dresh. A close up of a great crested newt (not from this visit), floating in grey-ish water. The newt is a vibrant bright orange, with differing sizes and shapes of black spots all over its body except it's orange belly. The tail, like a fish, fans out from the back as a fin and continues up its spine. The newt looks straight to camera, as though it's thinking, 'what are you looking at? Yes, I'm marvellous, I know'.
