Strong journalism matters — it strengthens democracy, challenges misinformation and holds power to account. Proud to speak at @NUJofficial @IWA_Wales conference on the future of media in Wales, and humbled to receive Honorary Life Membership of the NUJ, my first union @TUCCymru

⚠️ Nid yw straen yn ddiogel. Stress is the biggest workplace risk to workers according to Health & Safety reps across Wales. Our General Secretary, @LauraDoel, shares the facts and discusses how workers can be protected from burnout on @BBCRadioWales.

Feeling very Rogers & Hammerstein - could have been worse, I could have been singing… 🎶 Getting to like you, getting to hope you like me. Getting to know you, putting it my way but nicely. You are precisely my cup of tea… @TUCCymru ✊🏻

Visited @hd_materialsUK with @TUCCymru and its decarbonisation plan. Capturing 800,000 tonnes of CO₂ a year could secure the site’s future while delivering near-zero cement. Great example of investment and @unitetheunion partnership working.
