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 🎶)

What a special evening at the @GrandPavilion - a phenomenal performance, as always, from the immensely talented members of Bridgend Youth Theatre, and the perfect way to bring the curtain down for the final time before the redevelopment begins. Congratulations all!

“The most important fact in modern British domestic politics: in the 1990s, a first-time buyer couple on a low-to-middle income saving 5% of their wages would have enough for an average deposit after three years. Today it would take them 24 years.” https://t.co/Vy004BZDTq
