This was brought to my attention on Facebook, seems to be another useless MP. Any more info @Bald Rick

Iori Hughes
I work at the 2 sisters factory, what is going on at the moment is frightening

and people are lineing up on FB to stick the boot into Anglesey's main employer. (such factory's around Europe have now been hit because of the cold working environment) IF the factory should go under.... 560 of us will be unemployed.. many of us would have to look for work away from the Island and life will never be the same again, Rhun ap Iorwerth has been heavily involved and has updated everyone via FB and Twitter regularly..... The silence from our TORY MP on the other hand has been deafening. Having already shafted the farmers she's now hammering the final nail into the Island's coffin by totally ignoring a major employer in her constituency who needs some support!!

That would be Virginia Crosbie, a last minute candidate after the previous selection proved to be a fraudster.

Yes she voted not to accept the Ag Bill amendment that would have put maintaining U.K. farm and food standards in to law in any trade deal and in a zoom conference I found her to be arrogant and slightly disinterested although I couldn’t locate my mute button so I could ask a question.

I would be surprised if she does more than one term but we do have a history of supporting the incumbent and have embraced MPs from all mainstream parties

178 now,
Discussions about an island wide lockdown but so far Cardiff resisting as it would be the final nail in the hostelry / tourism industry

What's the panic? Unless 2Sisters specialises in employing the vulnerable of elderly, 90 will be back at work in a fortnight-and be protected against further infection.

Large elderly and vulnerable (ie drugee) population and 2 sisters staff wandering around Aldi etc without realising they’re spreaders or wearing masks

But hopefully they won’t go for tougher lockdown as it’s enough of a ball ache as it is

There are a growing number of people going down with CV in meat processing plants in multiple locations, we saw it in the USA and it’s now creeping in here but what’s being done to stop it....

Housing foreign labour in apartment blocks and/or filling cheap housing estates with them close to meat plants almost like labour camps is coming home to roost with covid19 outbreaks . Meat plant owners should be condemed for creating slums when they are worth millions if not billions.

seems to be a meat processing problem?
part of Germany going back in to lockdown following the outbreak in one of their abattoirs

Coronavirus: German county forced back into lockdown after outbreak at abattoir

Gyms, bars and cinemas will shut again in the county, but restaurants will remain open to serve members of the same family.

Just what the vegan movement need to bring their campaigns back up to speed .......

Interesting analysis of the meat plant issue. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/53137613.

We're still really worried about the risk of an outbreak at the dairy.

I see Drakeford has to repeat everything in Welsh at the daily corvid bulletin. Perhaps he needs to broadcast in Polish / Lithuanian too..........

Is it? Are India, Iran and Brazil cold climates, I think you will find that as this virus continues to mutate it will thrive in any temperature where there are people living, hot or cold. I think we should make the most of our summer as this virus will be back later in the year. In China, the word is that this second wave is more infectious and more deadly!!
