Last night I visited Clwb Cwtsh at Deeside Leisure Centre and spoke with families, children and the team about the difference the club makes. Children with additional learning needs and special educational needs have a safe place to play, explore and spend time together. Parents also told me how valuable it is to meet, talk and support one another. I was told the club needs around £60,000–£80,000 to continue. This must not be treated as just a pilot. I’ll be pressing for the funding needed to secure Clwb Cwtsh’s future. #ClwvCwtsh #Flintshire #ALN #SEND #CommunitySupport #ChildrensWellbeing @ReformUKWales

On my recent visit to Wrexham Maelor Hospital, I heard first-hand how outdated facilities, inefficient management systems, corridor care, parking pressures and staff abuse are creating a vicious cycle of declining performance. Patients and staff deserve better. I’ll keep fighting for meaningful change and a new, fit-for-purpose hospital for Wrexham and beyond. #WrexhamMaelor #Wrexham #FflintWrecsam #NHSWales #NorthWales

The Left loves migrants … until we refuse to think the way they expect us to. Then suddenly my Romanian roots or Zia Yusuf’s Sri Lankan heritage, become fair game. That’s the hypocrisy: if the Right did it, they’d call it racism. When they do it to migrants on the Right, apparently it’s acceptable. You don’t get to preach tolerance while practising the prejudice you claim to despise. I called it out on @Iromg this morning👇

Couldn’t have put it better myself. Whose side are Plaid on? … well it’s not the ordinary folk of Flintshire and Wrexham that’s for sure.

Two weeks ago, at the Ceremonial Opening of the Seventh Senedd, I had the privilege of meeting Her Majesty The Queen 👑 The Llywydd spoke that day about the different lives and experiences Members bring with them to the Senedd. My conversation with Her Majesty rather wonderfully reflected that. She was interested in the road that brought me here: from policing in Romania and deployment in post-civil war North Macedonia, through my less-spoken-about time working in national security at the Foreign Office, to campaigning for women’s rights and, eventually, being elected to represent Fflint Wrecsam. Royal conversations are rightly private, so Her Majesty’s words will remain exactly that. But sometimes a photograph says enough. The warmth of her smile, that firm handshake and this moment will stay with me for a very long time. 👑🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I voted for Brexit for exactly this👇 And I’d do it again tomorrow. To take back control of our borders. To decide who stays in our country. To cut welfare dependency, cut taxes and build a dynamic economy, not follow the EU down the path of stagnation. The Tories squandered that opportunity. Labour would take us backwards. Now Reform will prove we can deliver it. We will finish the job. That’s what we’re here for 🇬🇧
Britain’s economy has been catastrophically mismanaged by Tory and Labour governments. But somehow EU countries like France are doing even worse! We must secure our border, deport illegals, cut welfare spending and cut taxes. And accelerate AWAY from the EU malaise. 🇬🇧

Wales is in the last chance saloon. Fflint Wrecsam voted for change. @CristianaEmsley MS and I are focused on health, education and local priorities - doorstep conversations we have confirm that people want ‘real change’ - on the cost of living, services, borders and politicians who listen. Polls are snapshots. The hard work of proving change is happening now. Read: nigeldwms.substack.com/p/las… #LastChanceSaloon #ReformUK #Wales #Senedd #FflintWrecsam @RUKWales

How very revealing. A Labour spin doctor reaching for Zia Yusuf’s Sri Lankan heritage as the punchline because he doesn’t like his politics. I recognise the tactic. The same “tolerant” Left regularly reaches for my Romanian roots the moment I say something they dislike. Apparently diversity is wonderful, provided migrants know their place politically. A migrant who refuses the victimhood narrative, opposes mass immigration or votes Right? Suddenly their heritage becomes fair game. Nothing exposes the hypocrisy quite like a migrant who thinks for themselves.
I have heard it from far better people than you and they were wrong too. What I enjoyed was seeing you running away from an argument about Brexit because you would rather talk about anything else. And I loved the smile being wiped from your face when the young woman tore apart your net zero BS. You’ve not nice suits and nice shoes but you’ve got more chance captaining the Sri Lankan cricket team than you have of becoming Home Secretary.

A daughter of Britain who gave her heart to Romania 🇷🇴🇬🇧 Born in Kent, granddaughter of Queen Victoria, Queen Marie became one of Romania’s greatest Queens - the Soldier Queen who stood beside her people in war and carried Romania’s cause onto the world stage. Her links with Britain and with Wales ran deep. In 1925 she came to North Wales for the National Eisteddfod at Pwllheli, where she wore the bardic robes and was honoured as “Marie Gwalia” - Mary of Wales. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇷🇴 British by birth, Romanian by destiny and with a special place in Welsh history too. 150 years after her birth, as a Romanian who has made Britain and North Wales my home, her story has a very special resonance for me. La mulți ani, Regina Maria. România nu vă uită 🇷🇴❤️🇬🇧
Today we honour Queen Marie of Romania, born on 29 Oct 1875 at Eastwell Park, Kent, granddaughter of Queen Victoria. A remarkable Queen, diplomat and symbol of courage and devotion, her legacy continues to inspire and strengthen the historic bonds between Romania and the UK. 🇷🇴🇬🇧

“ADHD denialism”? 😂 Show me where I denied ADHD exists. Quote me. I’ll wait. I mocked the ever-expanding entitlement to public concessions. You responded by inventing an argument I never made, because apparently rebutting the one I actually made was too difficult. So here’s the challenge: quote the “denialism” verbatim, or admit you made it up. Should be easy if it’s as “flat out” as you claim.
oh cool reform politicians just doing flat out ADHD denialism now

Labour socialists are completely out of touch with the realities of farming. The Chancellor has announced **up to** £194 a week in paternity pay for self employed fathers. Sounds great, right? But what use is that to a dairy farmer working 90 hours a week and milking cows twice a day 365 days a year? That’s 14 milkings a week. £194 won’t even pay a relief milker to cover four of them. Hey @LabourParty 🥀 If you really want to help self employed farmers then scrap the family farm tax. @reformparty_uk will help self employed farmers by scraping the cruel death tax!

“Shoved out of the way”, “sent flying”, “left shaken”. Then the footage emerges. She walks alongside Farage, appears entirely composed and ultimately gets in front of him. No “flying”. No visible aftermath of the dramatic encounter now being described. Either there is footage we haven’t seen, or someone has taken a very ordinary jostle for position and turned it into political fan fiction. The Lib Dems should produce the evidence, because this clip certainly doesn’t!

💻 HOSPITALS CAN’T FUNCTION EFFECTIVELY ON OUTDATED IT SYSTEMS THAT DON’T TALK TO EACH OTHER 🖥️ As your Member of The Senedd for Fflint Wrecsam, I am regularly approached by local NHS staff, informing me of how the problems we all hear about, frustrate their working lives, day to day, in practice. Patients and staff deserve better. #WrexhamMaelorHospital #NHSWales #NHS #Senedd

£3.3 million charged to overseas visitors for NHS treatment in Wales. Just £1.55 million recovered. That leaves Welsh taxpayers footing the bill for the rest. Only Reform will put Welsh taxpayers first.

You know we’re in serious trouble when the separatists are reduced to spinning a Labour-funded £100 payment as a Plaid Cymru triumph. Labour announces £100 for households in England and provides Wales with the Barnett funding to offer equivalent support. Plaid’s contribution? Choosing to use that money to mirror Labour’s £100 scheme in Wales, then sticking a green tick on it and announcing: “Plaid is acting!” 😂 Even Community Notes had to add the rather important bit they left out. Who’s doing your comms - Pinocchio?
BREAKING NEWS: £100 payment to every household in council tax bands A-D across Wales ✅​‌ As energy bills rise, Plaid Cymru is acting to help families with the cost of living 💚
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The £100 payment for Welsh households follows UK Chancellor John Healey's Budget announcement of the policy for England, with equivalent funding provided to Wales via the Barnett formula; the Plaid Cymru-led Welsh government is passing it on. gov.uk/government/new… bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Had an eye-opening meeting at Citizens Advice in Wrexham with Natalie Jones (Frontline Manager), Salli Edwards (Head of Flintshire CAB), and Emily Morton (Head of Wrexham CAB). With queues out the door, every room was full of people seeking help with soaring bills, debt, and housing issues. Citizens Advice truly is our ‘fourth emergency service’ - saving lives and taking on immense casework that supports Members of the Senedd. Yet they are chronically understaffed and stretched to the limit. The Welsh Government must ensure the Single Advice Fund (#SAF) properly funds and protects these frontline services. We cannot expect them to catch our communities if we don't back them.
