Since 1284, the wealth of Wales has been used to enrich English oligarchs, leaving Wales in poverty. And you can see the legacy today: six of the ten poorest boroughs in Britain are in South Wales - and all of them are places that generated massive wealth.

On Question Time last night, I talked about the extractive economic model that has left Wales - and many other nations - impoverished *because they were so rich in resources*. You can see the problem simply by looking at the map: the infrastructure looks like a drainage system.

Congratulations to Sagal. I wish her the very best in representing this amazing place. I'm proud of the campaign we fought. To go from 10% to 33% of the vote share during the PM's 'bounce' is good - but our ambitions are far higher.

✍️ Some words on my return to Parliament this week, including a huge thanks to all my constituents for their understanding and compassion while I've been working on my recovery from burnout. I've been blown away by your kindness 🫶 Looking forward to getting back into things. Onwards and upwards 💚

In June, me and my wife cajoled our teenagers to go to the seaside on holiday, as we had for so many years. On the last day, in the sunshine, I stood on a sand dune with the picnic and looked down at them making sandcastles. I knew it was the last time and cried my eyes out.
