We’ll go into government as communities, together
The Morning Star publishes in full Labour Party leader JEREMY CORBYN’s speech to Welsh Labour Conference / Cynhadledd Llafur Cymru 2019

IT’S A joy to be back in Llandludno. It’s such a beautiful town and a beautiful part of the country. And it’s fantastic to be here among friends and to feel the energy and the strength of Welsh Labour.

I want to begin by remembering a Welsh Labour hero, Paul Flynn, MP for Newport West from 1987 until he passed away in February.

Paul was a pioneer. He didn’t see being an MP as an end in itself. He knew that he could use Parliament as a tool for social change. He was a fiercely independent backbencher.
