Lovely unscripted moment this morning in the Welsh Parliament as a brilliant young choir from Ysgol Treganna in Cardiff - singing Safwn yn y Bwlch in rehearsal - bump into the Prime Minister (watch their reaction at the end 🎶)
@BSTHydePark is Stevie Nicks still playing Friday? Don’t want to be travelling to London from Wales if not, seeing as she’s cancelled her other two shows.
Lovely feedback from a pupil at @YGGTylerYnn after our Resilience Programme there this week! Year 6 are a credit to the school and we enjoyed our time with them. Da iawn pawb!

'Every single pupil has thoroughly enjoyed this week. Attendance has improved massively and parents have commented on how happy the children have been.
The programme has been amazing!’
Quote from the Year 6 teacher at @Sandfields_Pri last week. #UKSPF#resilience@NPTCouncil
Thanks to funding through @NPTCouncil and the #UKSPF we were able to run our Resilience Programme for year 6 pupils in December.
Finley told us, 'From now on I will just try to go at things with an open mind and no matter how I feel I will try my absolute best always.'
"I personally don’t think there is anything to change about your amazing team and programme. Thank you for this week I would absolutely recommend it and would love to do it again"

Shane Macgowan's funeral is everything you thought it would be.
At Saint Mary of the Rosary Church in Nenagh Tipperary. Glen Hansard and Lisa O'Neill performed the Pogues’ Fairytale Of New York.
And they all danced...
Thanks to funding from Maes Gwyn Community Benefit Fund we delivered a Residential Resilience Programme for pupils at @Maesmarchog1915 last week. From making beds and helping at meal times to night walks and caving, they were able to boost their independence and resilience!
Here's another for you @SuellaBraverman. 18 year old boy from Enfield. His Mum dies and he has no family. He ends up homeless living in a shed. He gets my contact details and I help him. I put him in the Travelodge on the A10 for 2 weeks until I can find him a room in a housing association. I knew the staff so this was possible. He was scared, cold, wet, and starving when I picked him up. He cried for hours. Anyhow we looked after him and now he's doing a degree in engineering. It was not a lifestyle choice for him. And I'm sure he'd be more than happy to educate you on this.
Feargal Sharkey, "This year is the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement. For 25 years the people of NI have been able to prosper and grow and blossom. And have discovered that this thing peace, is a very delicate beautiful little flower that needs nurturing caressing supporting."
"I do wish the people of Gaza, Palestine, and Israel, get to discover what 25 years of peace, prosperity and diplomacy and democracy looks like. And that those people can blossom into a much more confident and brighter future for everyone involved" #HIGNFY
The use of HRT fell dramatically after 2002, largely as a result of the Women's Health Initiative's report falsely claiming that its use increased breast cancer risk in all women taking HRT.
It is awful how much harm this study has done and continues to do to women’s health which is why I want to share this paper with you all. It has been published on Menopause - the journal of the North American Menopause Society -,and it’s really important that this information is shared with everyone.
We have written an article on my @balanceMeno website to break down exactly what the article covers, but as a summary it examines evidence that calls this claim of breast cancer risk into serious question, including the WHII study reporting of nonsignificant results as if they were meaningful, a misinterpretation of its own data, and the misleading assertion that the WHI' study’s findings have reduced the incidence of breast cancer. The incidence of breast cancer has increased since the WHI study results were published and HRT prescribing has more than halved since this time.
I would really encourage you all to read it - it’s about time this false narrative was set straight and more women are reassured: https://t.co/uh72xaBawc
