Welsh labour has won our 6th general election with our highest number of seats, a working majority and our highest vote share. We have the most popular party leader, a socialist that cares for all not his career & image but the people & ending poverty. 1.
2. On the doorstep we didn’t hear independence, we heard respect for Mark Drakeford. There was no slagging off of Keir starmer but a great deal of disappointment expressed.
3. The only mentions of Jeremy Corbyn were the opinions that the whip should be restored.
4. Our manifesto was popular. Never forget that much of labours manifesto For the Many, has been implemented here in Wales.
5. Wales still had hope. Now England’s labour needs courage to get our manifesto restored, whilst we in wales continue to implement it as best we can with a Tory Westminster government.

After Sunday’s correction in Mail on Sunday I want to thank, with every bit of my heart, all my colleagues, friends & family who stood by me & with me over the past 14 months, in what has been an awful experience that no one should have to go through but sadly many do. 1.
2. Every day for the past 14 months I have sought to clear my name. There were days I couldn’t face it, days I had to force myself to keep going. My nights haunted as I sought over & over to make sense of how & why. The support of the real fellowship of labour kept me going.
3. In a detailed, painstaking investigation I have learnt things things I did not want to know. Opened doors to information I would rather have slammed shut. I cannot now ignore those discoveries. Truth, justice & fairness cannot be subjugated by political expedience.
