  1. barnaby…vale of clwyd will fall if labour down the valley in towns like rhuddlan fail to come out …..;)

  2. well they did come out

  3. yes they did…I can’t blame them….tories were openly wanting to cut benefits

  4. Not as bad a result for Labour here as nearby Alyn & Deeside – I do wonder what may happen in 2011 here with Karen Sinclair AM standing down

  5. Conservatives have selected Paul Rogers, a local councillor, to fight this seat at the WA elections next year.

    This could be an interesting one!

    Rogers fought tooth and nail against a proposed gipsy camp in the brymbo ward he represents ( which is hardly a natural tory area ) so I would have thought he would have very strong support from that area at least! I think Karen Sinclair was reasonably popular but is standing down this time.

    Could be very close, this one!
