UK Labour & Welsh Labour MP for Cardiff East. Mum, sister, daughter.
Falling inflation is good news families across #CardiffEast, but there is still much more to do to give people the breathing space they need. Our UK Labour Government remains relentlessly focused on easing the cost of living and putting more money in people's pockets.

Free at the point of use, a bold idea that transformed healthcare across Wales and the UK. On this day in 1948, Aneurin Bevan turned the spirit of #Tredegar's Medical Aid Society into our NHS. Made in Wales. Delivered by Labour. We'll never stop fighting for it.

The Gestapo marched hundreds of thousands of innocent people to their deaths. I've ended private schools' tax breaks to invest in state schools. No responsible leader makes vile comparisons like this. Kemi Badenoch is not fit to be Prime Minister.
Every young person across Wales deserves the chance to thrive. Our UK Labour Government is creating 7⃣ new youth hubs, which will deliver personalised support to break down barriers and move young people into jobs, training or education.
Ten years ago today, our friend Jo Cox was brutally murdered in her constituency. Her passion for bringing communities together lives on through the @jocoxfoundation.bsky.social. We must never normalise abuse or political violence. We have far #MoreInCommon than that which divides us.
