LABOUR activists in Wales reacted angrily today to reports that the selection process for the Vale of Glamorgan constituency was being taken over by Welsh Labour.

Activists expressed their fears to the Morning Star that this was an opening move to block left-wing candidate Belinda Loveluck-Edwards from standing again in the marginal Westminster seat.

Ms Loveluck-Edwards was endorsed as the candidate by former party leader Jeremy Corbyn in summer 2018 and increased the Labour vote to 23,743 in the 2019 general election.
