I've been a member of the Wales Green Party since 2015 when the reading I did for my Masters dissertation led me to realise that we are in the middle of a multiple crises, most notably a climate crisis and a catastrophic extinction event for many other species on this planet.

Full statement

Not only this but we are in the middle of an inequality crisis, where a small number of people are benefitting from a rigged economic system to become incredibly wealthy whilst large swathes of society have dropped in to crushing poverty. All the while the most powerless in our society are blamed for the problems caused by the insatiable greed of the few. The Green Party is the only party that realises a holistic approach is needed, and that there is no economic, social, and moral justice without climate justice as well. I am the proud father of a wonderful daughter with ASD, and my partner and I share caring responsibilities as well as the sheer joy of her company. I am a County Councillor on the City and County of Swansea Council representing Mayals ward as well as working in Swansea University library. I also play bass guitar now and then in a local covers band, and enjoy leading countryside walks for the local community and holiday makers, showcasing the natural wonder of Gower, and its flora and fauna, to as many people as possible.
