We're reacting to announcements on energy in yesterday's Autumn Budget. Labour Chancellor John Healey announced funding for a £100 energy payment to all households in council tax bands A-D, which the Plaid Cymru Welsh Government have confirmed will be paid to households in Wales. The UK Government will also scrap standing charges on gas, which they say will save money for 60% of households, and have announced that VAT on energy bills will remain absent until July. Conservative party leader Kemi Badenoch accused Labour of making energy expensive with their Net Zero policies, and Plaid Cymru say that the support doesn't go far enough. So what did you make of the budget measures on energy? Do you feel different about the winter ahead? Today marks World Stroke Day - a global awareness day to improve understanding of stroke. Seven thousand people in Wales will have a stroke this year. So we want to hear your stories - have you, or a loved one suffered from a stroke? How has it impacted your life? Get in touch. And finally, the UK will re-join the Erasmus student exchange scheme from January 2027. The UK left the scheme as part of the 2020 Brexit deal, but work began last year on re-joining. Further education students and apprentices will have the chance to take up study and work placements in Europe. But have you ever studied or worked abroad? What did you get from the experience?
