IN order to win the election, the Labour Party not only has to capture dozens of Tory-held marginal seats which voted Leave in the EU referendum — it also has to retain most if not all of the seats won at the last election in June 2017.
For the past 90 years, Labour has been able to count on its loyal supporters in Wales to return a majority of Labour MPs to Westminster. The south Wales mining valleys, in particular, have voted more solidly for Labour than any other major region of Britain since 1922.
