The Lions have lost another all-time great. Fergus Slattery played every minute of all 4 Tests for The Invincibles in South Africa in 1974. He is the 7th member of that Test XV to pass away following JPR, JJ, Phil Bennett, Ian McLauchlan, Gordon Brown, Mervyn Davies

Wales cannot be defined by one place, one voice or one story.
It is a nation of contrasts, where past meets future, where landscapes shift from mountains to coastline, and where communities across the country each bring something unique to the national identity.

After 14 months of NFU and NFU Cymru campaigning, the UK Government has today announced changes to the threshold for inheritance tax for family farms. These changes mark a huge victory for farmers in Wales.

A message from our President @AledNfu to Welsh MPs ahead of an important vote tonight on the IHT proposals within the Finance Bill.
Tag/contact your local Labour MP and ask them to abstain from this vote.
John Mercer retweeted
Labour MP @ToniaAntoniazzi is spot on.
The change made yesterday to transferrable allowances is welcomed but doesn't go far enough. We urge the Govt to listen to its backbenchers and make amendments to the Finance Bill to protect the elderly and the terminally ill.

NO IHT!
This was our clear message at today's Winter Fair, on the eve of the Chancellorβs Budget announcement. It signalled the strength of feeling amongst rural communities against the UK Governmentβs planned changes to inheritance tax reliefs.

Ever since the announcement of changes to Inheritance Tax, we've continued to lobby hard to #StopTheFamilyFarmTax
Here are just some of the media interviews our members have done over the year, delivering their personal stories of how these changes will affect their family farms
Difficult to do justice to all the work that the incredible team @NFUCymru do for Welsh farmers but this video is a hugely impressive snapshot of the last year and well worth watching #wearewelshfarming #nfucymru25
We open our conference with a video highlighting our lobbying work this year.We continue to represent members on all issues impacting the industry.
Mae'r fideo yma yn tynnu sylw at ein gwaith dros y flwyddyn. Rydym yn parhau i gynrychioli aelodau ar materion sy'n effeithio arnynt
