In Business Questions I said pob lwc - good luck - to the Wales football team in their match against England next Tuesday - especially Anglesey's Wayne Hennessey - and of course for their match against Iran tomorrow too!

I also asked the Leader of the House Penny Mordaunt MP the following:

I was delighted with the ministers reply - where she said I had mentioned Anglesey Freeport so many times in Business Questions that it should be 𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙖𝙢𝙚𝙙 Freeport Thursday! 🤭

🤝She also gave credit to Anglesey’s Plaid Council and others for supporting the bid and putting jobs and the Union before party politics.

You can hear the Ministers excellent answer here 👇
