£ @colegau.cymru welcomes the pilot scheme for young people to pay only £1 bus fare. This shows Welsh Government’s recognition of the pressure on colleges in terms of transporting learners to college and to work placements. This is a positive move, and now we need to consider the detail in full 🚍

I’ve been having fun today. Brilliant evidence sessions to the “committee”. Fund the Gallium Triangle (sounds like a Star Trek episode) and Make Wales Great Again being particular highlights. Thanks everyone!

Growing up is over-rated. Rage against the dying of the light in case you wake up one day and realise your whole wardrobe is beige.

You don’t say? Unpaid internships give ANOTHER leg-up to kids whose parents can afford to support them. If we want social mobility in fields like politics, the Senedd, Parliament et al need to set up paid internship schemes. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Just looked up all the creeps performing for Trump’s inauguration with the intention of blacklisting them, but I already wouldn’t listen to any of them without industrial grade ear plugs anyhow.

Well today’s inauguration has been even more openly horrific than we thought it could be. Genuinely wondering if we need to plan for refugees from the US. Please God, let him be more useless than dangerous. 😔

So sad to learn Baroness Jenny Randerson passed away last night. She was my politics mum, always there with advice and kindness when I was finding my feet in the Senedd. Warm, wise and empathetic, a wonderful mentor and friend. Thank you Jenny for everything. The world is a poorer place without you.
