It didn't even get the chance of getting so far as branch level where my members no longer have the opportunity of telling me they want me to stay or want me out. The interview consisted of 60 minutes of questions - 30 minutes of which was an inquisition on the whip.

It reminds me why Labour are as much a party for Wales as the Tooting Popular Front.<br />As for Gary Jones's dramatic reinterpretation of history, I am trying not to laugh at the comedy value of seeing a candidate reject everything his local party connived at in power as well as not supporting and willfully misunderstanding his own party's education policies.

Calling people in your own party 'bare faced liars' is pretty vitriolic although I totally agree that a bi election should have been held long ago as Keri has been unable to perform his duties for a very long time. That is up to the Labour Councillors Group not the CLP. You would have to look at those who are able to make this decision and ask why. Louvain is a great and very active councillor and if she has been 'caretaking' Tyisha then I hope those who put her in that position are very grateful to her. As far as Suzy Curry 'finally' being allowed I am not sure where that has come from. Nobody is more qualified to stand than her having been campaigns manager and fund raising officer for years and always being available to help whoever needs it as well as being in full time employment. Chris Beer would also make a fine councillor so I hope gets a seat. As far as Nia is concerned I am not sure what on earth she has to do with this although we do have a lot of members, lately, who love to shout very loudly criticising from the sidelines but who in reality do not raise even their little pinky finger to help their party in anyway.

A by-election should have taken place in Tyisha, The ward has been looked after by the Glanymor councillor. She has 2 wards with huge problems to take care of.

Her family did however own the john street post office which was sold at auction after auditors went in and threw the family out without their handbags and phones . A couple of months previously the daughter turned up with 13k to put back what she borrowed hence the second visit . Funny how it was not mentioned in public though . Acting solicitors from randell saunders took it to be heard up swansea then cardiff . Then the daughter smashes a car into a L plate driver and flips him on his roof with no insurance . Silly ban is made . Thats okay daughter has a new car and drives around with just one letter in her name differencing her from younger sister .

I assume quite a few of her family . Theres 3 children 18+ her 2 nieces nephew mum and dad and sister shahana who us standing in lleidi with james . Yet Chris Beer was in with no chance once fozia and davies got back as buddies . How did fozia leave labour then run back to them AND it was kept out of the press ? Very fair selection process id say !! Chris Beer would almost certainly have been elected he lives in the area with his family and is well known .

Thank you for the exp...In reply to Anonymous 10.05 <br />Thank you for the explanation. History now but I wonder if the selection vote would have gone the same way if the full facts about Rob James' shocking attendance record at NPT were known. He would undoubtedly have pitched strongly on the fact he'd been a councillor in NPT and no doubt done a great job here. The fact is if he stood here next year he'd almost certainly be shown the door. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me. I can't speak for Neath CLP but I'd guess they certainly consider him an embarrassment right now.Stannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118857435900510280.post-85005686150495512652016-11-20T10:05:17.784+00:002016-11-20T10:05:17.784+00:00@Sian Caiach and @Stan

No matter how this is spun the facts of the matter is that the decision was entirely down to the members of the #Lliedi ward and no-one else. He stood against Rob James at the #Lleidi Selection meeting and was not selected for whatever reason. Those voting have to be members for at least six months. It is not up to the Llanelli CLP to question the decision of #Lliedi BLP providing the selction procedure complied with the rules of the Labour party and there is no suggestion that it wasn't. He was not deselected from standing as a candidate. To say that the Llanelli CLP find him an embarrassment is as far from the truth as you can get and quite disingenuous. There were no 'offers' he is entitled to apply for any seat that is open for selection as are the other candidates.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118857435900510280.post-89380106781461868492016-11-19T20:23:41.744+00:002016-11-19T20:23:41.744+00:00As an interested observer from outside Carmarthens...As an interested observer from outside Carmarthenshire is there a particular reason why the Labour Party should deem Bill Thomas as unsuitable to stand in the ward he has represented for so long?

My son had done over a year in a class where no english has been taught and was immersed in the Welsh language and he was a very unhappy little boy, had nightmares and was constantly upset going to school, he is now in the English stream and is thriving and runs to school excited every day, now why would I put him through an education in which he does not understand the language, I agree that Welsh education is great for some children but cannot ever agree that it is right for every child. Just because I am campaigning to keep TWO languages at our school does NOT make me ANTI WELSH LANGUAGE. <br /><br />I respect everyone's right to speak welsh and be educated through the Welsh language but unfortunately it is only the people who are fighting to keep the two languages as a choice that are being reasonable. As soon as anyone fights against this we are made out to be monsters who hate Wales and the Welsh language, well sorry to disappoint you all, I am very proud to be Welsh, I love Wales and I think the language should be saved, but you are all going about it in totally the wrong way.<br />Michaela Beddowsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118857435900510280.post-68405768402121120352016-11-15T06:25:06.523+00:002016-11-15T06:25:06.523+00:00Michaela, can I suggest that before you continue w...Michaela, can I suggest that before you continue with your campaign that you make a New Year's resolution and go to one of the Welsh for Adults classes in your area to find out what it is you want to deprive your own children and those of other families of?
