Another top day speaking to voters in Canton and Riverside. Thank you again to everyone who came out to support our campaign today, and to those who took time to speak with me about what they’re looking for from their next MP. I particularly enjoyed speaking to the lady who told me (in very colourful language) why we need a change in Westminster and that she was voting Labour to secure that change. I couldn’t agree more! Less than 48 hours to go… #VoteLabour 🌹

Fly-half John Bevan unleashes Ray Gravell through the opposition defence. Gravell's midfield partner Steve Fenwick throws a delightful overhead offload to JJ Williams ("the fastest wing in the world" according to Phil Bennett) for the finish. #WALvENG75

If I was in charge (and providing sufficient vaccine available): shut as much as possible down during Jan-Feb, pay everyone to stay home, vaccinate everyone with massive scale logistics. Why not?

The bigger thing for me is that @butNHS needs more decision making staff working 24/7- acute physicians, surgeons, microbiologists, ACPs etc. No point ringing out a GNR at 3am if nothing is done about it! @uhbipc
