Because our Welsh Labour Government reached a deal with rail workers, unions, and operators, Transport for Wales staff aren’t striking today.
But our rail network is still in a state of chaos, because Boris Johnson and Grant Shapps refuse to come to the table and do the same.

“Free school meals are not just about hunger.
It is about saying to those children: you matter to us, we want you to have the very best - that’s what @MarcusRashford was saying yesterday.
They shall have flowers on the table." - @MarkDrakeford 🌹

Mark Drakeford has been clear that Wales stands ready as a nation of sanctuary for people fleeing violence in Ukraine. It is time for the UK Government to cut the red tape, set up a proper visa scheme and let Ukrainian refugees in.

This is the same Chancellor who rejected continuing the furlough scheme for workers in lockdown in Wales, Scotland & N. Ireland.
Sunak waves the Union Flag but the so-called ‘Conservative & Unionist Party’ proves once again it doesn’t care about Wales.
Never has, never will.
Following the PM’s announcement on further restrictions across the country we have decided to extended the furlough scheme for a further month covering 80% of employees’ wages.

We won't solve the climate crisis by relying on more fossil fuels.
That's something our Welsh Labour Government understands.
It's why we've banned fracking - and why we'll keep it banned.

Cheaper bills and warmer homes.
That's what you get with two Labour Governments working together.
Community note
This claim by Labour of getting cheaper bills and warmer homes is false as since they've come to power household bills have increased dramatically.
As to warmer homes this is also a dubious claim and no credible evidence is provided to how exactly they have provided this.

On Thursday, vote Welsh Labour to stop Reform UK.
Community note
Although not explicit, as this refers to Wales as a whole, there is a by-election happening now in Wales which people will think this refers to.
In that by-election Labour are polling a very low third, and Plaid Cymru are neck and neck with Reform UK.
