Former miner, Jeff Gregory, has been selected by Propel to fight for the Rhondda seat in the Welsh Parliament elections this May. Jeff was born and raised in the Rhondda and was a third generation miner, before the mines were closed by the Conservatives and Labour. Speaking about his selection, Jeff said: “The Rhondda is a place like nowhere else on earth. The people here are tough, hard working and proud. But politicians have let Rhondda down. We have become the forgotten valley. The Senedd was created to make the lives of the people of Wales better, but there is still tremendous poverty and deprivation.
