The National Poet of Wales was not allowed to perform a poem she was commissioned to write for the King and Senedd members at today’s ceremonial opening of the Senedd. Hanan Issa, who was given the title in 2022, was told her entry did not fit the ‘apolitical’ occasion.

The Llywydd of the Senedd, Huw Irranca-Davies, said he is “disappointed because Hanan is such a good poet” but told ITV News this was not a day for high-charged politics. by @itvwales

Striking health visitors demonstrated outside Plaid Cymru’s annual conference in Llandudno in protest at the Welsh government's failure to help resolve their pay dispute. Health visitors working for Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board have been on strike for seven months. They say they are not being paid the correct salary and it’s costing them £9,000 a year. A spokesperson said the Welsh Government recognises the concerns of the affected staff, who would not have taken the decision to strike lightly,” adding, “From the outset, the Cabinet Minister for Health and Care has placed clear expectations on the health board to bring forward a resolution to this long-running dispute. An offer to this end was made, which, while ultimately rejected by Unite, does represent progress compared to the prolonged deadlock that existed prior to the election. We continue to urge both the health board and the union to get back around the table to find a solution in the interests of staff and families alike as soon as possible.” by @itvwales
