Wear It Pink is today, Friday 23 October. 📷
Whether it’s a pink hat (like mine!), a jumper or a pair of pink socks, well done to everyone getting involved at work, at school or at home.
Diolch to everyone across Gŵyr Abertawe who is taking part and supporting.

It was a pleasure to meet students from Swansea University during their visit to the Senedd yesterday.

How we treat animals is a sign of the type of society we are and want to be. If we allow animals to be mistreated either via ignorance or cruelty, then it reflects badly on us as a society.

We are kicking off this year’s #MigraineAwarenessWeek with our new animated campaign film!
Migraine affects around one in seven people and, for many, it impacts all areas of life – from education and careers to personal lives and mental health.
Read my views on further education and those not in education, employment and training on the Welsh Fabians blog.

Great morning celebrating 25 years of the incredible The Phoenix Centre.
Their unwavering commitment to the community is truly an outstanding achievement.
Well done to all involved.

Wales has established itself as a leader in animal welfare. But caring about animals must mean more than having laws written on paper. It must also mean properly enforcing those laws. Under our strained system, this is far from guaranteed ✍️ @MikeHedgesAM wp.me/p8Mk4U-1i1V

Paul Williams explains the withdrawal of the original report, why it's not the end of the story and what we are doing now.

Plaid Cymru have asked for rail to be fully devolved to Wales. This comes a no surprise. Is there an area of Government currently the responsibility of Westminster that they do not want devolved? ✍️ @MikeHedgesAM nation.cymru/opinion/good-ne…

Many of you have followed the news around 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘘𝘶𝘪𝘦𝘵 𝘙𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘭 report over the past year. Today, we want to share some disappointing news.
YouGov has informed us that the 2024 survey sample our report was based on was faulty. While this error does not mean all the findings were wrong, it does mean we can't stand behind them on the basis of this survey alone.
We’re deeply disappointed that YouGov has only recently identified this issue, especially after repeated assurances about the data’s reliability. We know many of you may feel discouraged too. YouGov has taken full responsibility and issued an apology.
