Guess who was spotted on the streets of Cardiff? None other than Andy Burnham, Mayor of Greater Manchester! With just a week to go until the big Senedd election, Burnham was seen rallying support alongside Huw Thomas, Labour’s top candidate for the Caerdydd Penarth constituency.
If you’re wondering why Burnham popped over the border, it’s partly due to family ties as his daughter studies in Cardiff. He mentioned, “I’ve been down in Wales today… to show some support to my friends in Welsh Labour.”
It’s buzzing here! Not only was Burnham in Cardiff, but he’s also been exploring Swansea and Porthcawl. He seemed quite taken by the Ospreys’ conservation efforts and hinted at the local transformation, saying, “Porthcawl – brilliant to see the regeneration that Huw, the leader, has been bringing forward there.”
So, folks, mark your calendars: the Senedd election is next Thursday, May 7. Expect a rollercoaster ride with a new voting system and 16 fresh constituencies, each choosing six members to shape the future of Wales from Cardiff Bay.
With political heavyweights like Burnham hitting the streets and locals rallying around dynamic candidates like Huw Thomas, it’s time to keep an eye on how this election unfolds. Remember, your vote shapes the future! 🗳️🥳
