The letter (Monmouthshire Beacon February 9th 2022) from Catherine Fookes, who I believe has stood for election on behalf of Labour in previous years, stated that ‘ David Davies our MP may have ‘full confidence’ in the Prime Minister, but the majority of his constituents do not’.

In the interests of truth I would like to say this is at best supposition on her part as not everyone in the constituency has been asked!

Opinion polls are never a good guide either, remember Brexit!

Judging by the letters in last week’s edition, from contributors including former Labour MP Huw Edwards, is Labour already campaigning for the county council elections in May?

All I can say is, if Monmouthshire turns red we may get given back more of our hard earned taxpayers’ money from Mr Drakeford, instead of the usual low settlement, but a Labour administration would then set about wasting it on our behalf …so don’t expect it to be spend on any meaningful service improvements.
