BREAKING
Jeremy Miles has announced he will be standing down as an MS at the Senedd election.
This means that both the men who ran to replace Mark Drakeford as Welsh Labour leader will no longer be MSs after the next election.
Letter from Mr Miles & Eluned Morgan's response below:
The pharmaceutical industry invests more in R&D than any other sector – driving the discovery of new medicines and vaccines that improve health outcomes for patients and strengthen the UK economy. (1/3)🧵
My commuter husband has loved it. More widely, the economics of this would be really interesting. I wonder whether the increased footfall would mitigate the fare reduction? May be a good one for the next Welsh Government to get into with the providers?
