Today we remember people who lost their lives, or were injured or made ill, simply by going to work.

We honour them with our words, but also our actions - by standing up for safe work, dignity at work, and the right of every worker to come home safe at the end of the day.

[TUC Cymru @TUCCymru]

Heddiw yw Diwrnod Rhyngwladol Coffa Gweithwyr.

Today, on International Workers’ Memorial Day, we remember those who've lost their lives at work, or from work-related injury or illness.

And we resolve to fight for safe, healthy workplaces for all.

Conspicuous by their absence from @CymruNAHT #Senedd2026 education hustings were ALL the other party representatives - many thanks to Phillip Owen @Gwlad_Gwlad, @cefincampbell @Plaid_Cymru and @lynne_neagle @WelshLabour for being part of the debate.

[LauraDoel @LauraDoel]

And so it begins - @CymruNAHT kicks off our first #Senedd2026 hustings at Cardiff bay with @Plaid_Cymru @WelshLabour and @Gwlad_Gwlad

Great to hear what they had to say on education, funding, ALN, behaviour and workforce - lots of interesting perspective shared

Bring it on ✊🏻

[LauraDoel @LauraDoel]

@TUCCymru joint fringe event @Plaid_Cymru on tackling the far right was a great event.

A clear focus on what we can all do to promote unity through the trade union movement @NEUCymru @pcs_union @UCUCymru

Teaching unions tell Plaid ‘don't mess with education and give us the money’ https://t.co/5z7aYWxhyf

Busy day in Newport for @CymruNAHT as we lobby @Plaid_Cymru ahead of #Senedd26

Education speech was interesting from @cefincampbell

No vanity projects ✔️
Focus on the basics ✔️

How we’re going to resource it is an ongoing discussion…

[LauraDoel @LauraDoel]

The @WelshGovernment has just passed its budget.

Millions of consequential education funding still unaccounted for…schools will suffer and ultimately so will children.

We believe in fair and we intend to keep campaigning…

Watch this space #Senedd26 @CymruNAHT

[LauraDoel @LauraDoel]

Here’s my interview this morning with @BBCRadioWales on the draft budget - just in case anyone at @WelshGovernment @Plaid_Cymru @WelshLabour @WelshLibDems @WelshConserv @SeneddChildren @WG_Education missed it 👇🏻👇🏻

[NAHTcymru @CymruNAHT]

Listen to @LauraDoel speaking on @BBCRadioWales earlier today
We know that £329m was allocated to Wales by the UK government in so-called education consequentials but only £39m was allocated in core funding for schools in the original Budget proposal @NAHTnews #FairFundingNow

[LauraDoel @LauraDoel]

@CymruNAHT response yesterday to the budget deal between @WelshLabour @WelshGovernment @Plaid_Cymru

Why is it that no one seems to understand the plight of schools?

The fight to save education continues…

#FairFundingNow

[NAHTcymru @CymruNAHT]

PRESS ROOM: 📢Budget deal a 'huge let down' for schools says NAHT Cymru. Read more here: https://t.co/1o7O6pAccB
@WelshGovernment @Plaid_Cymru @WelshLabour

[LauraDoel @LauraDoel]

Look at this 👀

The money is there…

There is recognition that schools need it for core funding…

Now it’s over to @WelshGovernment

Please share

[NAHTcymru @CymruNAHT]

Highlights of @SeneddChildren when @lynne_neagle answered questions on missing education funding

Money allocated to schools is far less than the consequentials ✔️

Inflationary uplift is a real-terms cut ✔️

#FairFundingNow @WelshGovernment @walestuc

https://t.co/Qc86ej1OT5

[LauraDoel @LauraDoel]

What a phenomenal response so far 👏

Let’s hope it is influencing the discussions between @WelshLabour @Plaid_Cymru @RhunapIorwerth @Heledd_Plaid @cefincampbell @lynne_neagle @PrifWeinidog @MarkDrakeford
