Councillor Imran Latif and I have been out surveying local residents in #Penylan again today. This afternoon we were in the area around Waterloo Gardens. It's good to find out about residents' concerns and where they'd like us to push for improvements.

Well done to everyone who ran the Cardiff Half today. Another great event a terrific atmosphere once again. Well done to all involved - whether organising it, taking part, cheering the runners on, or clearing up afterwards. Pleased to get a PB, shaving 59s off vs last year.

I am grateful to a resident who has alerted me to problems with a sewage leak at the southern end of Lake Road East, on the route of Sunday's Cardiff Half Marathon. I have escalated this to senior management in Cardiff Council and urged them to ensure it's sorted in time.

It's no wonder Cardiff's streets are getting dirtier under the watch of our Labour-led council. ⬇️ www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-n...

The Liberal Democrats have announced plans that could cut energy bills for everyone. ⬇️ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I have now been advised by @cardiffcouncil.bsky.social that the problem seems to have been caused by Civica who printed and dispatched the postal vote packs, rather than with the Royal Mail. This is a fiasco. And some voters will have lost their chance to vote as a result.

I have had worrying reports that many people in Caerdydd Ffynnon Taf may not have received the postal vote they requested due to postal delays. It is hugely concerning that some people may now be denied the chance to vote. #Senedd2026 herald.wales/national-new...

After 27 years of nothing but Labour health ministers in Wales, many aspects of our NHS are badly underperforming. We need a much better deal for mental health services. The current waits for ADHD assessments are horrendous. ⬇️ nation.cymru/news/horrend...

There is a pattern here. Both Chris Wormald and Olly Robbins appointed by this Government. Both sacked by press release when Starmer under pressure. Robbins may have approved Mandelson but it’s not credible that he acted alone w/o instruction from No10. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

The Welsh Liberal Democrats would not support a Reform government in Wales or a Reform First Minister being appointed.

This morning I was at BBC Wales to represent the Welsh Liberal Democrats on Politics Wales, talking about the campaign for the Welsh Senedd elections. You can catch it here: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Very sad to see the former Gaiety cinema on City Road now being demolished. Sadly Cardiff's Labour council had essentially left the building to rot since 2012 despite Lib Dem calls for the council to step in.

At the last council meeting, I moved a motion seeking to secure a cross-party call on the next Welsh Government to bring forward a clear, funded plan to rebuild the Heath Hospital. Operations & treatments are being postponed or delayed due to the state of some of the buildings. youtu.be/iKCWZg_zI1s

I’m pleased to have secured a cross-party commitment through my motion to Cardiff Council to support the need to rebuild the Heath Hospital. However, Labour councillors watered down my call. We need a clear, funded plan from the next Welsh Government. www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-n...

Cardiff's Labour-run council pressed ahead with making a decision despite having botched the consultation by seeking views from the wrong councillors ⬇️ www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-n...

It's now 50 days to go to the Welsh Senedd election.

It's been great to have Lee Dillon, Liberal Democrat MP for Newbury, join our Senedd campaign in Caerdydd Ffynnon Taf this weekend. Listen to what he has to say. #cardifflibdems #welshlibdems

Happy St David's Day to everyone! Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus i bawb! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🌼 #StDavidsDay #DyddGŵylDewiSant

Frustration and ideas in equal measure at last night's Adamsdown and Splott community forum. Lots of support from residents and businesses for many of our ideas, especially in our Clifton Street campaign. Have you signed our petition yet? ▶️ www.cardiffld.org.uk/cliftonst @rodneyberman.bsky.social

Wishing all those observing Ramadan across Cardiff and Wales a peaceful and blessed month. May this sacred time bring reflection, compassion and strength to those celebrating, their families and their communities. Ramadan Mubarak. 🌙✨ #ramadan2026 #cardifflibdems

Today, I visited the 'Warm Space' at St Andrew's Church in Birchgrove. Initiatives like this provide a valuable opportunity for people to socialise - as well as to have somewhere warm to go if they are struggling with the cost of keeping the heating on at home in this cold weather.

It's shocking that incompetence under the watch of Cardiff's Labour-run council led to £6 million of taxpayers cash effectively going up in smoke. Lessons now must be learned from this catalogue of failure. Read my comments 👇 nation.cymru/news/council...

I'm calling for the independent report on this botched procurement to be published so we can learn the lessons from how £6 million of tax payers' cash was lost by Cardiff's Labour-run council. nation.cymru/news/call-fo...

I’ve had an amazing response to this petition against the threat to relocate Ysgol Bro Edern away from east Cardiff. Have you signed it yet? You can sign it here: www.cardiffld.org.uk/savebroedern

Diolch yn fawr Cyng Berman am godi hyn. Mewn dinas maint Caerdydd mae angen ysgolion Cymraeg ardderchog - yn y gorllewin, gogledd, dwyrain, a'r de. Dyna pam rydyn ni fel ymgyrch yn galw am ysgol Gymraeg bob oed yn Grangetown/Tre-biwt i blant o bob cefndir...

Today is Holocaust Memorial Day. I was honoured to attend yesterday's commemoration at Cardiff's Temple of Peace. A very moving service. #HolocaustRemembrance #HMD

I've called on Cardiff Council to rule out relocating Ysgol Bro Edern from east Cardiff to provide a local Welsh-medium high for the south of the city. Both the east & the south should have local schools. youtu.be/h7-h4_5FgUU Please sign my petition: www.cardiffld.org.uk/savebroedern

Yet another prediction that the Liberal Democrats are on track to win Cardiff East at the next General Election.

The University Hospital of Wales is crumbling. Reports of sewage and water leaks, heating and water supply breakdowns, and pigeons in clinical areas show how badly it has deteriorated. Back my campaign demanding a plan is brought forward to fix it. ⬇️ www.cardiffld.org.uk/saveuhw

It was a great pleasure to join fellow politicians, Rabbi Rose and other members of Cardiff's Jewish community this evening for the Chanukah Menorah lighting at the Senedd. The recent sad events in Bondi were very much in our thoughts.

Had a really good discussion last night with some of my campaign team about our plans for the next stage of our campaign for May's Senedd election. It was great to review how things are going in Caerdydd Ffynnon Taf and start planning ahead into next year.

Nigel Farage publicly promoted cryptocurrency Tether, and then received a massive donation from one of its major investors. The whole thing stinks. That’s why @LisaSmartMP.bsky.social has written to the electoral commission calling for an urgent investigation. ⬇️

Shocked to read in @willhaycardiff.bsky.social 's newsletter that Jo Stevens, the Sec of State for Wales, refused to attend the First Minister's investment summit. So much for benefiting from having Labour governments at both ends of the M4! Has anything really changed under Labour?

Yesterday, I secured an apology from Cardiff Council's cabinet member for housing for the catalogue of failure and negligence a family suffered from. Their complaint had led to the Ombudsman publishing a public interest report. ⬇️ youtu.be/rpksQzXQEKk

I am calling on Cardiff Council's Labour leaders to personally apologise for the horrendous treatment faced by a family in one of the authority's properties. They suffered a catalogue of failure and negligence at the hands of the council. nation.cymru/news/council...

I'm backing @libdems.org.uk calls on the UK Government to slash energy bills, put money back into people’s pockets and cut VAT for struggling hospitality businesses. www.cardiffld.org.uk/news/article...

The Welsh Govt needs to take this seriously, starting by updating its obesity strategy to take account of the latest research on the impact of ultra-processed foods. We need to consider how these foods that we all consume are impacting our health. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Delighted to see the Senedd finally voted to bring in the regulations governing when Welsh public bodies must conduct Health Impact Assessments. I led on the policy work for this for @bmacymru.bsky.social when our lobbying led to it being included in the Public Health (Wales) Act 2017.

Hugely disappointed to see this mountain of waste being stored at the rear of 7 Clarendon Road in #penylan - I have reported this property many times before. I have asked the council to take action once again. #cardiff #libdems
