#PrideMonth is a powerful reminder that everyone should feel safe, seen, and supported - in our #furthereducation #colleges and across Wales.

Here's Cardiff and Vale College Principal, Sharon James Evans, on why this matters.
Let me tell you why Pride matters, 40 years after the first parade in Wales
'As a gay woman, Pride means so much more than just a celebration of who we are. It's a direct response to the ever-present danger of regression affecting many in our society'

To revive economy UK govt must redistribute wealth.

Bottom 50% of the population has 5% of wealth; bottom fifth has 0.5%. 1% have more than 70% population combined.

Median wage is £29,604. Real average wage unchanged since 2008.

Cut taxes on the bottom 50%. Tax wealth. End tax perks of the rich.
Here’s how Rachel Reeves’ Spring Statement must offer hope
