The Prime Minister will be visiting Aberfan next week to pay his respects to the strength of the community and honour the memory of those lost. My thanks go out to @geraldjoneslabour.bsky.social for arranging the band's performance, as well as to the many talented members of the group.

21 October marks 60 years since the Aberfan disaster, a tragedy that changed our community forever. As we approach this deeply poignant anniversary, we remember the 144 children & adults who lost their lives & the strength & dignity shown by Aberfan in the years that followed. 💛 We remember them.

Last night, I voted for major reforms to help cut the court backlog & deliver faster, fairer justice for victims & families. The UK Government is investing £287 million to modernise court buildings & upgrade digital systems, essential improvements to build a justice system fit for the 21st century.

🐾 Good news for pet owners! Vet prescription fees will soon be capped at £21! Vets will also have to clearly show their prices, & any treatment over £500 must come with a written estimate (including follow‑up care). Practices will need to state whether they’re independent or part of a larger chain.

The battle for Britain in the years ahead is between a modern, diverse Britain led by Labour or a dark, divisive Britain under Reform. All of us in the Labour Party must get behind the Prime Minister, rise to the challenge and deliver a richer, fairer and stronger future.

No one should lose pay just because they’re ill. From April, Labour is delivering sick pay from day one, ending the three-day wait and making sure everyone gets support when they need it. Labour is delivering for working people in Merthyr Tydfil and Aberdare, and across the UK.

From April, 32,000 more dads per year will be able to access Paternity Leave immediately, as a mother would with maternity leave. ✅ Day one rights confirmed for parental leave ✅ Bereaved partners to gain new rights to paternity leave Labour is giving working families the security they deserve.

🏠 📉 With six interest‑rate cuts since Labour came into office, families in Merthyr Tydfil and Aberdare are now saving almost £1,400 on their mortgage. Labour is putting money back into people’s pockets and building a fairer, more secure future for our communities.
