This Bill will give Westminster the ability to overrule Wales and force us to accept products made to lower animal welfare or environmental standards.

I don’t have Welsh in my family tree - but I'm Welsh and fighting for independence. https://nation.cymru/opinion/i-dont-have-welsh-in-my-family-tree-but-im-welsh-and-fighting-for-independence/

One death was recorded in the official #Covid19Cymru stats today. Tuesday and Wednesday are traditionally the days we see a higher total - the weekend "bounce back". So the fact that there was only one across these two days is excellent news.

@jaz Brexit, the gift that keeps on taking!

There was one death recorded in today's official #Covid19Cymru figures. Total now 1547. It's a measure of how far we have come that this is now a disappointing figure. The 7-day average is under 1 (0.86), and weekends are usually quieter.
