Nia Griffith is MP for Llanelli

This week treasury minister agrees to my request to meet to reduce red tape for alcohol exports, a vital UK industry, whilst protecting revenue.

Honoured to participate in the #ArmedForcesDay2022 events in #Llanelli earlier today including the parade through town, the Falklands 40 Drumhead Service and the unveiling of a special Falklands Memorial Bench in the Town Hall grounds.

Good response on the doorstep for ⁦@UKLabour⁩ candidate ⁦@simonlightwood⁩ in #Wakefield by-election

It's Armed Forces week & I called on the Tory Government to rethink their further cuts to the army, after already cutting it by a third, just when Head of the Army stresses we need to be “ready to fight and win wars on land” Stunningly complacent set-piece answers from Minister

Today is #GlobalMNDAwarenessDay when we remember the devastating effects of motor neurone disease around the world.
And, as an MP I will work to support people living with and affected by #MND and champion @mndcampaigns in Parliament

After the Government's shocking sell-out on climate change commitments in the Australia trade deal, I call on the Minister to incentivise India on meeting climate targets through the planned deal with India.

NOT one Tory MP joined us in calling for a ban on Fire and Rehire, now ever more widespread, & the Minister's response was pathetic. Labour would go further, giving workers security from Day 1 as insecurity causes stress, damages productivity & ultimately costs the public purse.

UK Government so short -sighted to be slashing British Council staff just at a time when, more than ever we need to be improving international relations and increasing UK exports.

Very sorry to hear that the legendary Phil Bennett has passed away at the young age of 73. Great loss to Llanelli and Wales. Deepest condolences to the family.

Packed meeting in Tycroes sending clear signal about keeping doctors’ surgery in Tycroes.

And they’re off

Exciting atmosphere in #Pembrey Country Park just before start of Day 5 of Women’s 2022 Cycle Tour of Britain as riders prepare including yesterday’s leader in the yellow jersey Grace Brown of Australia

Stark reminder at parliamentary event this week of huge strain on carers and just how much they save the taxpayer. High time to improve support.

Thank you #Llanelli Veterans Association, Meibion Elli & Llanelli Town Council for adding dignity and joy to the Beacon Lighting ceremony on the Millennium Coastal Path to mark Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee.

Many thanks for the messages of congratulation, & thank you to all of you that I have been privileged to work with over the years, because my efforts are only one small part, and it has been together with many remarkable individuals, that we have been able to achieve results.

Privileged to be ⁦⁦@GWRHelp ‘s naming ⁩ of #Trainbow after Alan Turing, with his name unveiled by 2 of his nieces, & speeches by #Bletchley historians & ⁦@Dylan4Compton⁩ #Plymouth’s first trans councillor. Good to see GWR highlighting diversity & inclusion.

In spite of my repeated calls, we still have no commitment from Tory UK Government to electrify the railway through to West Wales, which would help reduce emissions and reduce reliance on imported fossil fuels. They just don't seem to want to invest in our future.

Hey Vegan pies from #Ferryside and Grey Alders 90% beef beef burgers just two of the delights you can buy at #Llanelli food festival today

Calling on the Government to do more to help hard-pressed families, and to stimulate growth in the economy.

Yesterday I voted for an emergency budget to tackle the Tory cost of living crisis, but Tory Government just does not care that people cannot afford basics.

Very positive response on the doorstep in #Wakefield North to our excellent ⁦@UKLabour⁩ candidate ⁦@simonlightwood⁩

Good to welcome Richard Whiting, Community Rail Officer, Heart of Wales line to #Llanelli Railway Goods Shed to discuss opportunities to work together. ⁦@howlta1⁩

In our parliamentary debate on fairness at work, I explained how our @WelshLabour Government is implementing our manifesto pledge to ensure all paid carers in Wales receive at least the Real Living Wage, currently set at £9.90 an hour

Honoured to speak ⁦@SeneddWales⁩ at the unveiling of the bust of my distinguished predecessor Jim Griffiths MP who did so much to create the modern welfare state and pave the way for devolution. ⁦@PrifWeinidog⁩ ⁦@Amanwy⁩

Many thanks to Hospital Notes Choir, the team at Bro Lliedi, ⁦@AidanColeman⁩ @RevDavidjones⁩ & all who helped put together a thanksgiving service and lunch to remember all the hard work key workers did in the pandemic.

Time to get rid of Plaid from ‘running’ Carmarthenshire, and restore decent street cleaning schedules. Vote ⁦@WelshLabour⁩ on 5 May.

Great to meet @betterbizact campaigners in Parliament who echo Welsh Government’s incentivising business to support workers’ rights, mental well-being & reduce carbon footprint. #BetterBusinessAct
