The Alyn and Deeside seat is being expanded to include part of the Delyn constituency for the 2024 General Election. The former Alyn and Deeside seat was won by Labour, Delyn turned Conservative in 2019 and Rob Roberts represented it as an independent after losing the Conservative whip in 2021.

The boundaries of all but one Welsh seat have changed ahead of the 2024 election, only Ynys Mon (the island of Anglesey) remains untouched, all others have seen changes which could impact the results on election night. You can read the background to the changes here.

Instead of 40 constituencies, there are now 32 in Wales and the idea behind it is to make all Westminster constituencies the same size.

Boris is the author of the Tories’ defeat
I’ve said it before, and will doubtless have cause to say it again: Boris Johnson might be the single most effective political illusionist this country has ever seen.

Starmer’s worst blunder should disqualify him as prime minister
The single biggest thing that happened over the last Parliament was the Covid crisis. It had an immeasurable impact on our economy and society.

Indeed it was sufficiently bad that at the time many people said Starmer’s errors ruled him out of any possible future as Prime Minister.

OPINION - Joe Biden has presented Democrats with a big lie of his own
The ridiculous claim that Donald Trump won the 2020 US presidential election was the first big lie to infect its politics. Now Joe Biden has presented Democrats with a big lie of his own. There are plenty of Americans who would rather vote for a dead Biden than a live Trump, but not enough to win.
