Great listen.

Great to speak at ABP Newport, alongside the First Minister, as they announce a new £80m investment. The port is in the city’s DNA—handling more steel than any UK port & £1bn trade a year. A fantastic sign of growth for Newport & the region.

Delighted to confirm we are building a brand new primary school in Bettws, an £18m investment. All our children and staff deserve the best facilities. More investments in our schools to be announced in the coming months. (Disclaimer - the image is not a real representation 😂)

Lovely to welcome the Future Generations Commissioner for Wales, Derek Walker, to Newport. He and his team wanted to discuss the great strides we are making in harnessing data and AI to improve our performance, improve residents lives and deliver more for less.

Important we unite as a city & clearly stand against the WRU’s proposal to cut the number of regions from 4 to 2. I’ve already made our position clear, but I hope all cllrs from across the political spectrum support the motion below and sign the letter to the WRU Dragons RFC 🐉

Newport’s state of the art new leisure centre with two pools and lazy river is progressing.

Newport at the top table where it belongs. We are the only Welsh city part of the Bloomberg & London School of Economics (LSE) leadership initiative. Delighted to join cities like Madrid, Turin, Oslo & many more. We will forge a city fit for now, our children & our grandchildren

Excited to start our collaboration with LSE. Time for Newport to reach beyond the Welsh ecosystem. 5 cabinet members & 5 officers will have access to experts in behavioural science, modernising services and delivering better public services.

I had to ask the Mayor of Madrid the most important question of them all.

Newport Food Festival 🍱 today and it is packed in the city centre. Indoor market and John Frost Square are buzzing. Up the port!

I got into politics to try & make a real positive difference. That is why we are committing £500,000 to a new no one left behind fund, starting in Duffryn. Local groups will choose the projects. Thanks to Lliswerry Independents for working with us on this. democracy.newport.gov.uk/documents/s337…

From the bottom up, we will fight wealth inequality, so no Newport community feels left behind. This will be led by local groups 💪🏽. Duffryn will be the first to benefit, but it won’t be the last.

Senior execs of Microsoft & myself speaking to national & international journalists about the new data centre at Newport. My message: This is only the beginning of the city’s rebirth. This development alone creates circa 2000 jobs for local people, according to a WPI report.

Delighted there will be an East team Dragons RFC 🐉 .I took an early stance against the original proposal and with the support of the entire council we made our feelings clear to the WRU. However, solidarity to one of the West teams and fans. walesonline.co.uk/sport/rugby/ru…

Delighted we can announce free car parking at council owned car parks across the city centre every Saturday between November 15 and December 27. Also, Newport Bus will support with launch of a £13 app-exclusive ticket that allows up to four people all-day travel across the city.

Always a privilege to attend and speak at the Chartist Memorial at Newport Cathedral. The fight for democracy should always be remembered as those rights, which were hard earned, need to be defended by every generation.

Guess who will be doing Newport’s Christmas lights switch on this year? 🎅🌲
