Team Neath were out in force in Neath East today, knocking on doors. Plenty of images posted on social media for us to enjoy, though I understand that the sack of carrots they had to give out to those obedient donkeys was kept out of the photos.

But I'm wondering where some of the Team Neath "usual suspects" are? Little or nothing is seen of Lord Hain in these parts. What of former canvassing stalwarts such as Mrs Debbie Harvey and Leighton Veale? In fact, I've not seen Mr Veale in any of the canvassing for the local election.

But at least it seems the local Neath East councillors have turned up, along with other familiar faces, including Councillor John Warman, Councillor Leanne Jones and Councillor Dean Cawsey, the latter two being employed by Ms Rees in her local office so they can hardly not show a face, can they? I also recognise Alex Sims, one of the unsuccessful Welsh Labour candidates for Bryncoch South. I do apologise for not knowing the others.

Got to say that in that last shot I can't see Ms Rees' name on those posters being carried. Any significance in that, I wonder?

Also, while that huge bag of carrots is secreted away somewhere, I've a feeling that emergency rations are kept in the basket on the front of Mrs Sandra Miller's mobility scooter. You can't risk running out when those loyal Jacks and Jennies need to be fed.
