No other traveler has ever journeyed so far from home.
Voyager 1 is about to become the first human-made object to reach a distance of one light-day from Earth, or about 16 billion miles. ½

After months on strike, Cwm Taf Morgannwg health visitors have succeeded in ending their pay dispute with the Plaid Welsh Government.
A deal is welcome, but workers and families waited too long for a resolution.
We stood and continue to stand in solidarity with health visitors.

Delighted the supplementary budget has passed, securing £60m for ALN.
Plaid originally allocated £0. After pressure from Welsh Labour, it proposed £40m. That wasn’t enough. Plaid then put forward £60m, which we supported.
A positive step, but we’ll keep pressing for more.

Here’s why strong opposition matters.
If tonight’s supplementary budget passes, an extra £60 million will be available to support children and young people with additional learning needs in schools across Wales.
Scott Emanuel retweeted
Every child with additional learning needs deserves the right support.
Sarah from Flint raised her concerns with me, and I put her question to the First Minister in the Senedd this afternoon.

We’re calling on the Plaid Cymru Government to extend the £100 energy bill support announced today to households in Wales.

We secured £445 million for Welsh stations last year as part of a long-term commitment to £14 billion of rail upgrades.
Today’s announcement of £30 million towards Cardiff Parkway is a welcome step towards delivering the station.
Now the Plaid Cymru Government must play its part and make clear its commitment to the project.

Today’s Labour Budget gives the Plaid Welsh Government an extra £450 million to invest in public services. It’s welcome news for local communities across Wales.
Plaid Cymru now needs to focus on making sure this funding reaches the services that need it most.

An unfathomable act of economic self-harm by Plaid Cymru, supported it seems, by the Tories.
This will mean fewer renewable projects, fewer jobs created in rural Wales, greater environmental harm, and more expensive electricity bills for us all.
Utter madness.

There are real-life consequences to Plaid Cymru’s inaction in government. Their priority should be the NHS, not independence.
Scott Emanuel retweeted
The latest figures show the total number of NHS waits has risen to its highest level in 10 months.
Patients need action and a Plaid government focused on getting waiting lists down. The NHS must come first.

Plaid’s plan for Newport and the surrounding towns is deeply unpopular with thousands of residents - and it’s easy to see why.
Closing M4 junctions would push more traffic onto local roads, bringing greater congestion, disruption and pollution to our communities.

Proud to speak to Co-operative conference today.
The Labour and Co-operative parties share a belief in fairness, equality, and the power of working together.
It’s great to be celebrating that shared vision today.

The racist language exposed by ITV has no place in Welsh politics.
Reform UK must explain how Martin Roberts was selected as a candidate and given a taxpayer-funded Senedd role.
Wales deserves answers. Another “bad apple” excuse won’t cut it. itv.com/watch/news/undercove…

Today, Welsh Labour has secured an additional £60 million for additional learning needs.
Scott Emanuel retweeted
Today was a step in the right direction, but Welsh Labour will keep fighting to secure more for our schools.
