Welsh Labour MS for Clwyd South. Promoted by Ken Skates at The Malthouse Business Centre, Regent Street, Llangollen, LL20 8HS || [email protected]
Joined September 2011
The @WelshLabour Government is doing the same -fixing 100,000 potholes with the help of a record budget for Wales from the UK Government.
The Tories left our roads in a shocking state. Potholes aren’t just annoying, they cost motorists. My government is giving councils the funds to repair our roads and get Britain moving again. Our Plan for Change will put more money in people’s pockets.

Today I'm voting for @vaughangething for leader of Welsh Labour. For Wales, for Labour, for you.
My values are Welsh Labour values. I was a trade union shop steward, Wales TUC President, an employment lawyer - and I have a vision for our future. If I win, I’ll be the first Black leader of any European nation - a matter of historic significance.

The next General Election is a must-win. This endorsement demonstrates Vaughan has what it takes as leader to help turf out the Tories.
Neil Kinnock is a giant of our movement. Few people know so acutely what it takes to lead our party. I'm honoured to have his support. When your ballot arrives from tomorrow, you have the power to help us build our future, together - for Wales, for Labour, for you.

Absolutely @MatthewDorrance is an outstanding and passionate advocate for his community.
We have so many excellent candidates and @MatthewDorrance is yet another. An exceptional campaigner, committed to Labour values, and, as is clear from the response to his selection, one of the most well respected and liked people in our party. Llongyfarchiadau a phob lwc!

Launching this fund in Race Equality Week is a fitting tribute to Mari
🌹 The Mari Rees Fund In 2011, I was due to be elected alongside Mari Rees. Sadly, I remain the only non-white Welsh Labour politician elected in either the Welsh or UK parliaments due to Mari's tragic death. This fund is designed to change that. 🔗
