Statement to voters
Robert Griffiths is General Secretary of the Communist Party in Britain.
Full statement
Born in Cardiff, he has worked and lived in Gwent for much of the past 40 years. A former tutor with the TUC and Workers Education Association, he has campaigned on a wide range of issues, including public services, rights at work, nursery education, leasehold reform, anti-racism and—for many years—freedom for the Palestinan people. Rob is former Welsh president of the engineering white-collar union TASS and a delegate to Newport Trades Union Council and the Wales TUC. He also chaired election and referendum campaigns for a Welsh Assembly and against membership of the pro-big business EU, and was a founding member of the People's Assembly against Austerity. Father of three and grandfather of eight, a former boxer and rugby player, he is the author of books and pamphlets in English and Welsh on the economy and Welsh and working-class history. His campaign is supported by ex-Labour Party members, including two former leaders of Blaenau Gwent council. Robert says: "I'm nobody's poodle. As your MP, I would challenge the powers that be, demanding support and investment for one of the poorest constituencies in Britain".
