Imagine living in a rent free home that is so huge you don’t know your ‘downstairs’ staff are holding a Christmas bash. 1.
2. Imagine sneering with a group of elite ‘upstairs’ staff at the downstairs - cleaners, catering staff, low paid staff - at their audacity in having secret Santa gifts.
3. Imagine if the pantomime rehearsal had gone on longer they could have thrown in a few laughs about gifts from Poundshops.
4. Imagine creating a public outrage that will end in the dismissal of the ‘downstairs’ lot.
5. Imagine outrage about the contributors to our loss of lives due to Covid - dodgy PPE contracts, NHS staff left with no protective equipment, care homes taking untested patients, failed test & trace, poor overcrowded housing & so much more.
6. Imagine what was at the base of all those ‘mistakes’ - the ever increasing need for profit above all else for the few at the expense of the many.
7. Imagine a government that offered to change the system so that the Many were not treated like collateral damage through a desire to hold on to systems, structures & cultures to ensure power remains invested in the few.
8. Imagine political leaders that would put the many before the few and only at a cost of a few pennies in the pound from those who have more than they can ever possibly spend.
9. Imagine the hope & desire for a better future that inspired hundreds of thousands to engage with the Labour Party from 2015 to 2019.
10. Imagine why the few wanted to destroy that hope & how the middle joined in.
11. Imagine if all politicians were determined to address these problems of society structured on profit above all else above bringing in laws that will harm - #BordersBill #NHSHealthAndCareBill
12. Imagine how it could have been.

If you are going to comment on labours finances then please do so with fact. In 2015 labour had outstanding loans from elections under Tony Blair of £25 million. Plans were in place to move HQ from Southside due to the financial position of the party. 1.
2. From 2015 labour saw a mass increase in membership making it the largest political party in Europe. The loans were repaid & membership fees were sufficient to enable investment in member services & staffing including staff for the leaders office. All bought & paid for no loans
3. General elections, leadership challenges & community organising were funded because labour was receiving increased member fees & small donations.

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.

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.
