We now live in a country where something that has never been taxed is now called a tax break. The UK; highest levels of tax, crumbling public services, absent and inadequate infrastructure. The UK under Labour; closed for business and we’ll all be poorer for it.

Thank you Andrew for your dedication and leadership over the many years of selfless service you have given to our Party. Your vision and message chimed with our membership and you are right to highlight that without our membership we cease to be a Party.

Andrew RT Davies commands the respect and support of the overwhelming majority of our membership. In the run-up to the Senedd Elections we need to take on Labour, Reform and the Welsh nationalists. Andrew is best placed to do that; making Labour look silly & Reform irrelevant.

25yrs on the Senedd will continue to fail the people of Wales. The institution, regardless of who governs it cannot deliver the best for Wales. Under Labour we’re in free fall. Only the Conservatives can and must protect our Union. #ScrapTheSenedd

Despite having the power to reverse disastrous 20mph speed limits Cardiff Labour have again doubled down and supported this insane policy. Despite Labour criticism, I won’t apologise for doing my job and standing up for hardworking residents and organisations across Cardiff.

Everything Labour said a “Welsh Assembly” would achieve has failed to materialise. The Senedd continues to fail the people of Wales. The fact 800k patients in Wales are waiting to see a consultant demonstrates Wales needs the United Kingdom not more separatism. #ScrapTheSenedd

Jane was a hardworking and committed councillor who represented her community and City with distinction. I’ll remember our chats (and frequent political disagreements) with fondnesses. Thoughts and prayers are with Jane’s family and friends at this acutely sad time.

Labour’s shameful decision to scrap Winter Fuel Payments shows they have the wrong priorities. Welsh Conservatives will always support our pensioners who should never have to choose between eating and heating.

If it wasn’t enough robbing pensioners of their hard-earned winter fuel payment they now set their sights on hiking taxes for working people. The Labour Party are the enemy of anybody who has worked hard, earnt a bit of money and wants to provide for their family.

Devolution under Labour has been a disaster and Wales has gone into reverse since the establishment of the Senedd. If there was a vote to abolish the Senedd I’d be joining the overwhelming majority of Party members and increasing numbers of the public in voting to abolish.

Using the truly horrific events in Southport as a smoke screen for such criminality is abhorrent. These aren’t ’protesters’. These are rioters and must face the full force of the law, as should anyone who engages in behaviour of this kind.

After 10 years of waiting Cardiff now has a new bus station; with only a fraction of the capacity as the previous bus station. Iniquitous for Labour politicians to tell us to get out of our cars, propose congestion charges, yet fail to offer adequate alternatives.

Back in the Chamber fighting against Cardiff Labour’s planned parking charges. Residents pay enough as it is! Politicians should be making it as easy as possible for residents to support our local businesses; that’s what I’m focused on delivering.

I can’t help but question whether a contributing factor to Vaughan’s downfall was the fact his own colleagues could not accept he won. There were errors of judgment, no laws were broken; it should have been the public who decided Vaughan’s fate as FM not disgruntled Labour MSs.

I have taken the difficult decision to start the process of stepping down as Prif Weinidog. It has been the honour of my life to do this job, but it has also been the most challenging time, for me, and my family. I have always acted to serve Wales, and that will never stop.

With St David’s Hall announcing an immediate temporary closure, I’m seeking assurances regarding concerns around staffing implications. The Council must ensure our staff and agency workers are supported during this period of uncertainty.
