From paralysis to parliament in ten years. Almost exactly ten years ago I was totally paralysed while studying in Argentina. Fortunately I made a full recovery thanks to our NHS, care system and a big dose of good luck. Am now here to fight for others 💪

A colossal waste of money when public services across Wales are facing steep cuts.

Wales has already had a Commission on this exact topic & we have dozens of previous reports on devolution that haven't been acted on.

Plaid needs to focus on the day job.

Yet more daming headlines for Bute Energy & GreenGen Cymru and their links to the Welsh Labour Party. I will continue to use my voice to campaign against these deeply flawed companies.

This is what we’ve doing to raise the alarm about the plans to cut hospital services across Powys. Cutting community hospital beds and X-ray units is not an improvement - it is a downgrade of our hospitals by stealth.

[Welsh Liberal Democrats @WelshLibDems]

Wales needs powers over rail, the Crown Estate, borrowing & R&D to grow our economy and create jobs.

Today, @LibDemDavid challenged Welsh Secretary Stephen Kinnock to give Wales the same powers as Scotland.

🥀 He dodged the question.

Why won't Labour treat Wales equally?

With firefighting equipment. I hope this move will help fire crews and the Armed Forces across Wales to help keep communities safe when these fires reappear next year.

[David Chadwick MP 🔶 @LibDemDavid]

Last summer Wales was ablaze with hill fires. Unlike our European neighbours, the UK had not invested in dedicated firefighting capabilities. Fortunately the government has listened to my concerns and has now agreed to equip RAF aircraft…

This week, I paid tribute to my constituent Peter Morris, who was diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer at just 56

I'm incredibly grateful to Peter for sharing his story & using his diagnosis to campaign for change

I'll continue to call for national screening to save lives

[LBC News Wales @LBCNewsWales]

David Chadwick says he wants to re-build the Welsh Liberal Democrats after confirming he'll stand to be the next leader.

The MP is expected to succeed Jane Dodds unopposed next month - she's stepping down after nine years in the job.

[Welsh Liberal Democrats @WelshLibDems]

A damp squib for Wales. 🥀

Less additional funding for Wales than last year's Budget, barely any new investment in our infrastructure and economy, and little to help young people.

Wales needs ambition and a serious plan for growth. This Budget delivers neither.

[Countryside Alliance @CAupdates]

New analysis from the Countryside Alliance shows that rural people pay almost £500 more a year on petrol than people living in towns and cities.

[David Chadwick MP 🔶 @LibDemDavid]

This would be a gross betrayal of former miners across Wales and the UK, including those in my own constituency!

These miners worked hard all their lives. Many are now elderly and in poor health. They deserve to receive the pensions they were promised before it is too late.

[Harriet Symonds @harriet_symonds]

EXC: Ministers poised to break promise to former miners over £1.2bn pension fund

Labour MPs tell me they are ‘furious’ and ‘very disappointed’ about the last-minute decision

They are now making urgent representations to No 10, Treasury and whips ahead of tomorrow’s Budget

Thank you to @breconrafa for hosting my Veterans’ Surgery last week, where I gave an update on Troubles legislation. Representing people well requires an understanding of their experiences. Thank you to everyone who attended. Contact: [email protected]

@MarstonGareth @tfwrail A good take. Thank you for putting my thoughts into words.

[Cllr Pete Roberts 🔶 @petedroberts.bsky.social @petedroberts]

Really pleased to see my MP, @LibDemDavid, on this list. @powyscc has a long connection to the armed forces, and it is shameful that successive governments have failed to address this clear discrimination against injured veterans.
