Sunday Supplement - Changeover at No 10, politicians' safety, RWS, Gorffwysfa, Carmarthen byelection and a new MS
Andy Burnham has replaced Keir Starmer as Labour leader, and will soon be PM. Newport West and Islwyn MP Ruth Jones looks back at Starmer's legacy and ahead to Burnham's tenure. Police are investigating a death threat against a Senedd member, and Conservative MS Natasha Asghar has had her office window smashed. She tells us about her experience. Gorffwysfa is the original name of Canada's official residence for their prime minister. Monocle's man in Toronto Tomos Lewis knows all about how that name came about and how the building is in great need of repair. Gwynfor Evans won Plaid Cymru's first parliamentary seat in Carmarthen in July 1966. His son Guto Prys ap Gwynfor was there and recalls its significance.
Continuing our series meeting new MSs, we hear from Cristiana Emsley, one of Reform's two new members in Fflint Wrecsam.
