‘Insult to Wales’ as Labour parachutes two non-local candidates into safe seats

Think tank chief and former Labour aide Torsten Bell and Alex Barros-Curtis, Labour’s executive director of legal affairs, were selected as candidates for Swansea West and Cardiff West on Friday.
Mr Bell appears to have no connection to the country, while Mr Barros-Curtis went to school in north Wales.
