It is with a profound sense of sorrow that I have learnt of the death of Glenys Kinnock, a remarkable woman who left an indelible mark on my life.

Glenys was more than a colleague; she was a cherished friend, a confidante and a mentor who guided me through the intricate world of European politics. Her unwavering commitment to social justice, her unwavering belief in the power of education and her unwavering passion for empowering women and children were a source of inspiration for us all.

In 1994, Glenys was elected to represent Wales in the European Parliament. She served as an MEP for 15 years, during which she emerged as a formidable voice for Wales and a respected leader among her European colleagues. Her contributions to the European Parliament were immense, ranging from championing women's rights to advocating for economic development in Africa.

Her legacy goes beyond political achievements, resonating globally through tireless advocacy for the rights of women and children. Affectionately known as the "Queen of Africa," Glenys earned this title through her unwavering dedication to the continent and its people.

Throughout her political career, Glenys remained true to her roots, never forgetting her heritage and the values that shaped her upbringing.

In times of political turbulence, Glenys stood as a pillar of strength beside Neil, offering steadfast support and contributing to the resilience of the party.

She was a rock for him when he was leader and he was a rock for her during her battle with Alzheimer’s, which she faced with the same grace, courage and dignity that defined her entire life.

Glenys was a trailblazer, a woman of substance, integrity, and extraordinary resilience and my memories of her will forever be etched with deep admiration.

Cwsg mewn hedd fy ffrind annwyl. Rest in peace, my dear friend.

🛒 I was delighted to meet with Ian from FoodShare at Pembrokeshire Foodbank and staff at Tesco, Pembroke Dock today.

🙏 A huge thank you to the people of Pembroke Dock & Pembroke who top the leader board in terms of food donated at all of the Tesco collection points across the county.

🎄Your generosity is felt by those who need it most throughout the year but especially at Christmas time.

Today’s budget is a ‘kick in the teeth’ to hardworking families across Mid and West Wales, who are desperate for some respite after a cost-of-living crisis few will have witnessed before. As the squeeze on household incomes continues to tighten, the Chancellor provided no certainty that household bills would fall anytime soon.

Yet again, we’ve seen a Tory government cut taxes for the richest earners with a boost to their pension pots.

There is little comfort for those on the lowest incomes – just the worry and stress of changes to a system that already punishes and demonises people in receipt of benefits.

From a Welsh perspective, the lack for capital investment or any extra help to meet the challenges of delivering health and social services is shocking.

The Tories have presided over 13 years of crisis in our economy, forcing families into hardship and cutting public services beyond all recognition.

Warm spaces are playing a vital role in providing a comfortable, safe place for people to come together during the cold winter.
Funded by @welshgovernment through @pembrokeshirecountycouncil and @pembspavs, the @thevcgallery in Bufferland, Pembroke Dock is open daily for a cuppa, chat or even a bit of art and crafts for the community.
No one should be cold this winter, and I’m proud that there are now warm spaces in every county across the region. If you need help finding one near you, get in touch.

The UK Tory Government has known since March that energy bills would increase massively this autumn.
They have failed to take any meaningful action to end the financial uncertainty, the worry and fear that hangs over millions of households across the UK.
The Welsh Labour Government has shown it will step forward where it has the powers and resources to do so. We cannot do more until Westminster takes this crisis seriously. #CostofLivingCrisis

More devastating news for households today as energy prices are predicted to rise this autumn. I joined local councillors and advice organisations in Brecon this morning to offer support for anyone who finds themselves in financial difficulty. The #CostOfLivingCrisis will affect most people especially those on lower incomes.

Heatwave conditions are expected across Wales today. It’ll be cooler near the coast. If you’re going to the seaside please take extra care.

#Inequality is magnified in times of hardship. People in #Wales have been shocked at the scenes in #America, as discrimination, prejudice & racial inequities persist. We must unite to challenge the divisions that hold humanity back.

“We are very high-tech, committed to creativity but also sustainability...” Eluned is in Paris promoting the new International Strategy.

This afternoon, she spoke with France24 about Wales's rich cultural heritage, strategies for trading with the EU post-Brexit and her ambition to make Wales the "go-to nation" for advice on preserving endangered languages.

It was brilliant to join @marctierneylabour and @phlpp.thompson on a visit to non-profit organisation, @gettheboysalift to learn more about their work supporting mental health services and to talk about the #IPledge2Talk male suicide prevention campaign.

The Pembrokeshire based project kicked off with a hitch-hiking exercise, designed to get more people talking about young people and local mental health services. This then followed with the production and sale of home-made t-shirts and other merchandise to raise funds for local charities.

From one man starting alone, asking for lifts, selling t-shirts and raising money, ‘Get the boys a lift’ are now a prominent figure in many communities in Pembrokeshire and further afield.

Their cafe, based in Haverfordwest, provides a place for people to access support, through drop in days in a creative community environment (with good coffee!). There’s also merchandise available to purchase on-site in support of funding their counselling and outreach work.

You can learn more about their great work at:
