Another scabies outbreak closing 4 wards at 2 Welsh hospitals today 🤮Infection Prevention Control fighting a losing battle on aged 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 hospital wards 😢 Hospital acquired conditions rarely happen in private sec btw. Much better facilities/IPC and patients sue them! 💰

Remembering my Gt Grandfather, George Smith, today. He never met his son (my Grandad) as he was at war the entire time. He died on his son's 3rd birthday and is buried in Iraq. What a sacrifice. #RemembranceSunday

🐺Sadly, @RhunapIorwerth appears prepared to throw two of his most loyal soldiers to the wolves. Before the election, @Heledd_Plaid and @mabonapgwynfor made statements to us, both publicly and privately, which we now know were false and designed to misrepresent the meaning of Plaid Cymru’s manifesto commitment.

Those assurances mattered. Voters and bereaved families were entitled to take them seriously.

Does @Plaid_Cymru really want to go here? We don't.

[Sam S-H @SamSmithHiggins]

@1swancelona @PlaidExposed He did 👍 Fortunately we have the meeting minutes too

[Sam S-H @SamSmithHiggins]

@1swancelona @PlaidExposed You would! You’re obsessed with our bereaved families 🤦‍♀️

[Sam S-H @SamSmithHiggins]

@socrates2sox @vicswift Sorry to hear that 😢

[Sam S-H @SamSmithHiggins]

@1swancelona @SarahCLesadd @CovidBereaved Of course I understand that!? Weird comment 🥴 I just like to believe that some politicians go into politics for the right reasons and have integrity. Thats how I’d behave. There is nothing that could make me tow the party line if I thought it was fundamentally wrong.

[Sam S-H @SamSmithHiggins]

@iamcrazydave @ViewsToGo @Jordon3Jane @mabonapgwynfor Yep, same!

[Sam S-H @SamSmithHiggins]

@elwyn04 @wire_squire @AnnieEaves @Plaid_Cymru @RhunapIorwerth @mabonapgwynfor And it wasn’t attributed to the Health budget either….seriously @elwyn04. Just call me. You have my number on your emails! We’re not saying all this for a laugh! 🤦‍♀️it’s Saturday night - go and enjoy it 🥰

[Sam S-H @SamSmithHiggins]

Crikey. @elwyn04 is a bit of a div here. Or do all @Plaid_Cymru MSs think like this? A £10m statutory inquiry delivering in 18 months…or an un costed review with no powers lasting 26 months? I can’t stand MSs who think they know it all. @elwyn04 - Happy to chat. Next week?

[Sam S-H @SamSmithHiggins]

@elwyn04 @wire_squire @AnnieEaves @Plaid_Cymru @RhunapIorwerth But there are millions to waste on a non-statutory review? Good argument. Ps @mabonapgwynfor told us that £10m had been budgeted (if he was telling the truth that time!)

[Sam S-H @SamSmithHiggins]

@wire_squire @Jeffrey62093861 @elwyn04 @Plaid_Cymru @CovidBereaved Who picked up the racket and slammed the ball in bereaved families faces? Not me. But yes, I take your point. And the block button is a friend!

[Sam S-H @SamSmithHiggins]

@wire_squire @Jeffrey62093861 @elwyn04 @Plaid_Cymru @CovidBereaved So do I! Please read his responses to another bereaved family 😢 awful.

[Sam S-H @SamSmithHiggins]

@wire_squire @Jeffrey62093861 @elwyn04 @Plaid_Cymru You've missed a vital bit of information. Have a look at @CovidBereaved

[Sam S-H @SamSmithHiggins]

@tayzthecreator @DanOakesBP Oh do everyone a favour and grow up! 🤦‍♀️you’ve been trolling bereaved families forever. Weird as!

[Sam S-H @SamSmithHiggins]

@tayzthecreator Truth hurts. If you’re going to give it out then you have to be mature enough to take it. I’m happy to talk to anyone about what has happened 🥰 There’s no need for ignorance, just ask.

[Sam S-H @SamSmithHiggins]

@AgitMCeviz Diolch 💛

[Agit @AgitMCeviz]

Over the last couple of days, I've seen quite a lot of discussion on social media about the COVID inquiry.I believe the inquiry should go ahead. PC made a commitment to hold one, and that commitment should be honoured. It's about transparency, accountability and learning lessons.

[Sam S-H @SamSmithHiggins]

@NeilMaidman Well done her! It’s these qualities that make us most proud doesn’t it? 🥰

[Sam S-H @SamSmithHiggins]

My daughter is a criminal barrister in Cardiff. She went to a local school in Pontypool and faced many barriers on her journey to the bar. She gives up her time to help others on the same challenging journey. Bristol last weekend, Cardiff this. She is my hero 🥰
