@RhunapIorwerth and I had an urgent meeting with St David’s Hospice following the worrying news about the site’s future. A very difficult and emotional meeting.

We’ll continue to ensure that the concerns of our constituents are heard clearly.

🥁 BANGING the #MND drum ELEVEN years ago today, in memory of my Dad.

SIX people a day are now diagnosed with this hideous disease, and SIX people die a day!

#MND is NOT rare; they reason so few are living with this horror is because so many are dying!

Wow!! Just wow!

Amazing fundraising activities like this (the generosity of those taking part & those donating to the cause) provide both practical support and a degree of optimism to those of us currently living with this indiscriminate and debilitating condition. Thank you!

[MND Association @mndassoc]

Huge congratulations and thank you to a big group of Directors from @ToyotaUK who earlier this month took on the Thames Path Ultra Challenge, a 100km walk.

@lwhemmings Landowners and managers are already being encouraged to proactively remove spruce from the South East of England and replant with other non-susceptible species. They may also be eligible for funding if their land is in the ’Proactive Spruce Removal area’. https://t.co/hvRUFyIGc2

[Tom Jenkins @TomJenkinsFR]

The best way of minimising the chances of populations of this insect pest from increasing is by active management of spruce stands to remove potential material used for breeding and larval development, e.g., dead, dying, snapped, windblown, and otherwise stressed spruce trees.

[Forestry Commission @ForestryComm]

The eight-toothed bark beetle (Ips typographus) has been found on Sitka spruce in the UK for the first time. Stay vigilant and report any sightings of this pest in Great Britain using TreeAlert. Read more: https://t.co/5YvYuDCb1x

Alex Lewis, Amirah, and a couple of caterpillars - one of which (the oak processionary moth larva, on Alex's shoulder) definitely shouldn't be approached in real life!
