Jennifer Jones takes your calls on trust in politicians, vet bills and the future.

How much trust do you hold in politicians? Have you had to deal with a costly vet's bill? And what do you think the future will hold?

A proposed law to make it illegal for politicians to lie during Welsh elections will be debated in the Senedd today, on its first day back in the final term before the 2026 Elections in May. Many members have warned that the bill contains "extraordinary" powers that would limit free speech, whilst the Welsh Labour government says the legislation "sets out to build stronger foundations for Welsh democracy". How much trust do you hold in politicians?

A BBC Panorama aired last night has revealed that prices charged by UK vets rose by 63% between 2016 and 2023. More than half of all UK households are thought to own a pet, but have you had to deal with a costly vet's bill?

And what do you think the future will hold? Scientists have been predicting the things that we may see in 2050 - from things like elevators into space, to robot roommates!
