Proud and thrilled to announce that I’ve been called to serve the constituency of Pontypridd Cynon Merthyr. Watch the video, leave your thoughts, but be assured, you will not find a harder working candidate.
The campaign starts now.
To the comments! 😂😂😂
Brutal!
One day, the so called party of Wales, will understand the people of Wales.
This is the kind of patriotism I’d love to see in the UK!
Support our forces, support our veterans ❤️
To all Active Duty Military and Veterans: please accept our invitation to get a FREE Original Double Steakburger, Beef Tallow Fries and a Patriot Shake on Wednesday, November 11.
Thank you for your service! 🇺🇸

Today I stand with Joe Martin.
If elected representatives can be silenced for expressing views others find controversial, where does that leave democratic debate?
Free speech isn’t just for opinions we agree with.
We’re with you, Joe.
This was a bad error in judgement from the Senedd. It will further damage the institutions reputation and elevates the very thing it seeks to suppress.
Very bad decision.

New quango klaxon!
They do love wasting other people’s money.
It’s actually quite a skill to be able to find so many things other than what matters, to spend taxpayers’ money on.
Reform will end this consultancy gravy train.
New body will look at case for Welsh independence, and more devolution bbc.in/3USlHrl
£200 million of taxpayers' money sitting on the tracks while passengers are left waiting.
After 3 years, most of these trains still aren't carrying passengers, and now there are further delays.
The people of the Valleys deserve answers, not another broken promise.

If you missed FMQ’s today, worth watching @HelenJennerMS absolutely roast Rhun.
He rolled over & had his belly tickled and was left with nowhere to run except back to the old classic “racist”.
Hugely embarrassing for Plaid.

Some of my foundational years were spent with the Air Cadets. The activities and more importantly, the people, were who made it such an important part of who I am.
It has shaped the lives of numerous young people, many of whom have gone on to careers in the forces, protecting the very freedoms that give “journalists” the ability to write hit pieces.
Steve, Francesca and Art have served their country admirably; each sacrificed in their own ways.
I thank them, I’m proud to walk alongside them in Reform, and I hope that the people who write to denigrate their service, think long and hard about what they’re doing to the best part of our country- our service men & women.
The political world never ceases to amaze me. To be made aware that an ex Labour Leader in South Wales 🏴 has criticised my post from yesterday, which highlighted two members of our Reform group, who are veterans and between them served over 30 years, stating that their service and mine with RAFAC is a joke.
I understand that an online article will be written this evening about this persons opinion and mine was asked for by the journalist. ✏️
Let me make myself crystal clear. 👌
The Armed Forces do not belong to any political party. They belong to King and Country. Any body who has put their country, our freedom and national security before oneself, I admire, regardless of rank, regiment and service.
For myself, I’ve been honoured to be part of RAFAC for years. I dread to think of the precious family time I’ve given up freely, on top of working full time and being a mum, in order to help and train our next generation.
This isn’t about me though; this is championing other colleagues who have helped shaped many young people, who enter the Armed Forces or choose a civilian life.
I challenge anyone who criticises those who have served in the military and those who have been in the volunteer sector in uniform.
My offer to the ex Labour leader, come and spend time with the cadet forces. Or even better, please do put yourself forward to go to a war zone and then come back and write what you have shamefully written.
Labour, like your comment, are irrelevant.
This is a shocking representation of why Plaid Cymru's Independence obsession is destined to consign Wales to fiscal armageddon should they get their way.
We have to resist them at every turn, position Wales to be less reliant on the state, and set the environment that will allow businesses to thrive.
75% of constituencies in England and Wales spend more on welfare than their workers pay in income tax and National Insurance. London and the South East are the only regions that are net contributors; the North East is the most welfare-dependent region in England.

A moving morning in Pontypridd as we came together for the annual Remembrance Service and Parade.
I was honoured to lay a wreath and pay tribute to all those who gave so much in service to our country, and to those who continue to serve today.
Lest we forget.
This is absolutely shocking.
Aberfan has been through enough.
It is a community whose wounds deserve to heal, not fresh ones opened.
I hope justice runs its rightful course.

Fantastic appointment, what a great CV to bring into the top team!
I will introduce Reform's Shadow Armed Forces Minister, Wing Commander Angus MacIntyre, LIVE at 2pm.
Angus has more experience than the entire government defence team combined.
He has served in Arctic Norway, Northern Ireland, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Iraq and Somalia.
The Tories and Labour have decimated our Armed Forces and betrayed those who have risked their lives for our country.
Reform UK will rebuild our Armed Forces and right these terrible wrongs.
Tune in at 2pm to hear more about the brilliant work Angus will be doing.
Plaid certainly don’t like us sharing the same air.
Sorry to them, we’re not going anywhere.
We have a job to do and no matter how uncomfortable it makes them, we’re going to do it on behalf of every voter that put a X next to a Reform candidate.
Only 3.5 years to go.
Enjoy it.
We will.
Only half way through the week and it has been wild 😆 very proud of our Reform UK Wales team🏴 Carrying out proper scrutiny, producing & articulating excellent questions and debates.
One thing is for sure, Reform are faced with a Plaid government which bangs on about diversity, yet that sentiment stops when it comes to the diversity of thought of others.
Plaid along with their colleagues, Labour, spent 27 years in an echo chamber. Reform have dismantled that chamber. So buckle up, and enjoy the next 3 and a half years of having a proper opposition government.

Plaid GPT malfunctioned again today and went off on one.
Hilarious to watch. They really should learn to listen to the words of the debate.
A drop of common sense introduced to the chamber is all it takes to send the left wing wildings into a frenzy.
ChatGPT forgot to tell a student union politician that @RUKWales is led by women.
Moments later, Adrian Mason MS gave the same politician a lesson in the basic principles of UK law.
Just another standard week in the Senedd ladies and gents.
🫣🥴
I met with British Transport Police to discuss how they’re tackling county lines and harassment across our Welsh rail network.
Everyone deserves to feel safe when travelling.
Great to meet with Church Village residents and hear their concerns over toxic dumping at Maendy Quarry. Proud to stand with the community.
I sometimes wish I was joking when I post about what your money is spent on by this Plaid Cymru government.
Sadly, as @Cai_ParryJones has established, I cannot claim that here.
Utterly humiliating for a government that will decry how unfair their settlement is.
Look within!
The Welsh Government has no respect for your money.
🗑️ £25k on disability-inclusive beekeeping in Ghana and Uganda.
🗑️ £19k on radio phone-ins so farmers in Wales and Uganda can chat about climate change.
🗑️ £21k on financial literacy for LGBTQI+ people in Uganda.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Meanwhile, our hospitals, our roads and our high streets are crying out for investment.
Reform's position is clear: Welsh money should be spent in Wales. End of.

Plaid Cymru promised bereaved families a statutory COVID inquiry with real powers, then abandoned that commitment after the election.
Families have spent seven months fighting for answers, only to be ignored and offered another watered-down review.
They deserved the truth. They got a U-turn. A shameful betrayal.
