A privilege to chair @APPGCoalfield's report launch on levelling up the coalfields.
The report makes 12 recommendations to boost local economies without relying on ‘trickle down’ from cities.

Today the @APPGCoalfield launched our report on Levelling Up the Former Coalfields.
The report makes it clear that more attention must be paid to former coalfield areas, particularly transport infrastructure and opportunities for young people.

Earlier this week, Chair of the APPG Coalfield Communities, @AlexDaviesJones, spoke about the importance of Levelling Up former coalfields and supporting SMEs.
The @CoalfieldsRegen model to build prosperity and opportunity in former coalfield communities was discussed in @UKParliament yesterday.
We know we can make a positive contribution to the #LevellingUp agenda.
Thank you @AlexDaviesJones for your support!

Fantastic to chair a meeting of @APPGCoalfield this morning.

On Wednesday, I chaired a productive meeting of the APPG for the Shared Prosperity Fund.
It is vitally important that UK Govt keeps promise to replace every penny of EU development funding and makes sure that constituencies like #Aberavon aren't short-changed.

At times like these it's obligatory to quote F Scott Fitzgerald: "They were careless people...They smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness...and let other people clean up the mess they had made." #goodgovernment

I chair the Industrial Communities Cross-Party Group, which met today for a really interesting meeting, where @wg_CounselGen @Jeremy_Miles, who leads on co-ordinating the Welsh Government's response to Coronavirus and plan for recovery, gave us an update.

One of the interesting points to emerge from @LordsEUCom today is that the UK Government is contemplating depriving businesses the right to challenge subsidies to rivals
Controversial given the undisclosed lists of companies to support under #ProjectBirch & #OperationKingfisher
