I see the Labour Party are piling their resources into trying to take out Steve Hunt, the successful Independent councillor in Seven Sisters. Descending on Seven Sisters Rugby Club last Saturday yet again was Christina Rees and her office staff, two of whom are standing as County Borough councillors on 4 May. Nia Herdman, the Labour candidate for Seven Sisters, was also present. Only two weeks ago Rees, Jeremy Miles and a stellar Labour cast that included Hain's "Talisman", Howard Davies, were door-knocking in the area. Also there on Saturday was Hywel Francis, Derek Vaughan and never far from a function, and great friends of Derek and Christina, the Lockyers. Here are most of them, posing for the inevitable Twitter post, and trying to convince the world that their farts don't smell. Because you see, in La La Looney Labour Land, everything they ever broadcast is "great", "fab", "beautiful", "lovely", "brilliant", "fantasmagorical" etc etc. If you don't believe me, just tune in one day to any of their social media accounts.
 

Just a nod from STaN for you about the inevitable "Likes" on this Twitter post - there's one from Harry Potter, and one from Mike Harvey (again).

Mike must be tamping that he and Debbie missed this one so I'm wondering if they weren't invited. It seems increasingly unlikely that Mike and Debbie will now wrest the title of Neath's No 1 Couple away from the Lockyers. My sources tell me that in Dyffryn, where Debbie has drawn the short straw, Labour has yet to knock doors in earnest. That's a shame for the people of Dyffryn because I have also heard there are more than a few houses there that are looking forward to Labour calling. I'd suggest they send out a strong team, possibly Ms Rees, Jeremy Miles, Lord Hain, Alun Michael, Derek Vaughan, Andy Richards, Beanz and Harry. The last two are dogs that have been made famous on Twitter by their owners, Beanz being Richards' dog and used extensively to get the animal loving vote out for Christina Rees when she stood in 2015. Harry is Mike and Debbie's dog. Debbie's done more than her fair share knocking doors for several of those aforementioned. Let's hope they now do the decent thing and turn out for her.
