Public Office (Accountability) Bill – known as the Hillsborough Law
With the short journey from North Wales to Liverpool, I think it is fair to say that across the region, we have our fair share of those who would consider themselves to be, at the very least, sympathetic to Merseyside’s red team—whether through family history, proximity or simple attraction to the football on display. And

On Saturday night, I was privileged to attend the Dancing Shoes Wrexham's annual show.
It was fantastic, with dancers of all ages putting on incredible performances, all of which were full of joy and heart.
As a Wrecsam2029 ambassador, these are the events that prove to me that we should win, we have a city full of groups that epitomise the culture Wrexham is known for.
Thank you for the invite, it was an brilliant evening and I hope you are all getting some rest! ... See MoreSee Less

A joyous afternoon today at Wrexham Pride. It was a privilege to join hundreds of people marching.
Wrexham did itself proud with the streets lined to watch the march and afterwards at the event.
Today is a reminder of how far we’ve come and to continue the fight.
Thank you to the organisers and everyone who joined. ... See MoreSee Less

With the social media ban announced last month, the UK Government has announced measures to avoid a 'cliff edge' where once teenagers turn 16, they are not instantly exposed to addictive content online:
➡Nighttime curfews to be set by default and features that get teens hooked onto social media to be automatically switched off for 16- and 17-year-olds
➡Strengthen protections on AI services, including mandatory breaks for U-18s and restrictions on chatbots that offer mental health advice
The announcement comes after a pilot involving over 300 young people.

Andy said he would help hospitality businesses and he has.
I now urge the minority Plaid Welsh Government to do the same, so that our businesses here in Wrexham can receive the same relief as those just a few miles away in England.
I will be writing to the Minister to ask that assistance is given as soon as possible.

Another busy day at the Royal Welsh Show!
With the Welsh Affairs Select Committee, we popped by to see BBC Wales Breakfast shows being made and broadcast, then went to say hello and chat with the FUW and NFU Cymru.
Later we had a roundtable with Young Farmers Club members aged 16 to 25 to hear about the experiences they have of child poverty in rural Wales. They were incredibly switched on with a lot of really good, challenging questions for us.
After that, we went straight to meet with our Armed Forces to talk about the defense sector in Wales in terms of manufacturing, skills, working with colleges and universities.
Finally we met with Welsh Food & Drink who market Welsh producers. Wales produces over 2000 different food and drink products, all of different varieties and all with amazing quality.
As the proud Wrexham MP, I was chuffed to spot Magic Dragon and Wrexham Lager. ... See MoreSee Less
