    Spurred on by a lockdown idea from my daughter, I’ve taken the plunge to start an @instagram account posting bits of my collection of political memorabilia each day -called it “ in the cabinet “ as that’s where it all is ! @labour_history instagram.com/inthecabinet. Do follow! 🌹

    Replying to @carolecadwalla
    As a ctte member before the election I can confirm that the new ctte does not have to be formed to publish the report-anything else is complete twaddle-indeed there are few members from the old ctte left in parliament-it just needs the pm to say publish & it will be done so do it

    Thanks for all the support in Delyn at this election - I’m thankful for the privilege of serving the Constituency and its people for the time I have - I’m sorry I couldn’t win again this time - I have a fantastic local party in @delynclp and I wish them every success

    I say welcome 👇- look I’ve been a Labour Party member for 45 years , but if johns political journey has brought him now to see the Labour Party as the way to social justice ,then that’s a good thing that should be welcomed whatever his political history.

    Just received a text to say that my Association Chairman has been told that I am no longer a member of the Conservative Party. First I’d heard of that. Not even a member of the Conservative Party? I finally have something in common with Dominic Cummings.
