Beacons

The beacon is lit! North Shropshire calls for aide!

Such was the cry in December 2021 on the Facebook HQ page of the by-election campaign that eventually saw a stunning victory for Helen Morgan and her team as the campaign went into the final week.

The fantastic result this July has given us a huge boost, especially coming on the back of a great set of May election results, where we displaced the Tories and came second in the seat table in England for 2024 – now sadly overlooked by the national media.

What I want to consider is the effect winning, and keeping certain seats has on the regional and in the case of Wales and Scotland, national scale, and how they shine a light into their surrounding areas.
