Meet Your Ynys Môn Labour Candidate: Campaign Update and Goals
Excited to be the Labour candidate for Ynys Môn! It's been a whirlwind since the surprise election announcement, but I'm ready to work hard and connect with all of you. Let's make positive change together.

There's been a lot of discussion today around the Wylfa announcement - but none of it really explains the human side of it all, and what it means for real people, so I wrote this:
Quite surreal to be a lad from Holyhead, now canvassing the street my mam grew up on as the Labour candidate for our Island.
This is the toughest thing I’ll ever do, but it’s moments like this that remind me why what I’m doing is so important:
Ynys Môn needs a fresh start.
From Ynys Mon with our excellent candidate Ieuan Môn Williams, to Wrexham today with the equally wonderful Andrew Ranger, we’ve had many really valuable conversations listening to residents and hearing their thoughts on this week’s budget.

I tend to not get emotionally attached to large infrastructure projects, but this one is particularly close to my heart
(Accidental thread to follow...)
Excited to announce that I am now the official Labour candidate for Ynys Môn! Just submitted my nomination papers and can't wait to campaign for a better future for our community. Thank you to all who have supported me on this journey. Let's do this! 🌹

A truly mind-bending speech from Sunak today, designed to try and make you forget it's him and his party which has been running the country into the ground for 13 years.

Avanti’s reign of chaos cannot end soon enough.
The people of North Wales are let down on a daily basis by an operator who couldn’t care less about the quality of service it provides.
They fully deserve to be stripped of the franchise.
NEW: Avanti West Coast Rail could be nationalised within days.
Public control of the franchise would follow months of disruption and regular cancellations.
Part owed to irreparable breakdown in relations between staff and management.

To get a Labour government we need to win marginal seats in Scotland, England and Wales. Go help a marginal seat near you.
I can’t help aching for all the young apprentices, the superb staff at Horizon and, ultimately my home, which will now continue to struggle against the tide of deprivation. All of them good people who I have loved meeting, spending time with, and in a previous life, worked for
If this project isn't saved, there will be yet another generation of exported youth leaving their homes to get a decent job, with no opportunity to get the best of both worlds, a great career in what is also one of the most beautiful places in the country

Last night showed once again that so many in Britain are completely fed up with this miserable, polarising and cruel Conservative Government.
I had a productive call this morning with colleagues in Cardiff Bay regarding yesterday's announcement on road building in Wales. I expressed my disappointment with the headlines on the Third Menai Crossing, however there's a lot more to it than the initial reaction. 1/3
Amazing how the Government has chosen to reward Avanti's constant failure with a contract extension, while they continue to profit off their mismanagement of the service to North Wales.
They just don't care about delivering for Ynys Môn. At all.
BREAKING: Under-fire train operator Avanti West Coast has been given a six month extension to its contract running services between London and Scotland.

Just to give that some context, you could fit Sizewell C into that area *four* times with room to spare, which Greenpeace and RSPB don’t want to happen either.
Put bluntly,
#NetZero
*will not* happen if the clean generation capacity we need isn’t built.
On a day we celebrate a new coal-free record, we remain a long way from cleaning up our Grid, getting over 43% of supply from a fossil fuel, and nearly 11% from biomass.
At 9am our third-biggest source of low carbon electricity was France, just let that sink in.
#NetZero
Britain's electricity mix at 9am on 28th Apr 2020
Nuclear 19.7% Gas 43.5% Coal 0.0%
Wind 9.9% Solar 2.0% Hydro 1.2%
Biomass 10.8% Import 12.0% Storage 0.3% Other 0.6%
Generation 29GW
Carbon intensity 257 gCO2eq/kWh
vs a target of 50-100 gCO2e/kWh by 2030
Wylfa was earmarked for large-scale nuclear development SIXTEEN years ago by the last Labour Government.
We've had five wasted years since Hitachi's project was effectively cancelled by the Tories, who are now cynically drip feeding non-stories in an election year.
Was a genuine honour to attend last night’s event to rededicate the Cenotaph in Holyhead, and great to see so many locals there too.
This poignant reminder of the service and sacrifice of those from the town who lost their lives has stood for 100 years, here’s to 100 more.
This comes on top of Ms Crosbie abstaining on the recent Johnson Partygate vote in Parliament. Come on Virginia, your constituents, and the country, deserve better than this!
