On May 5th I stood as the Labour candidate for the Bridgend constituency in the General Election. On the morning of May 6th, I was standing in the House of Commons, the elected Member of Parliament for Bridgend.  They say a week is a long time in Politics – but what a life-changing 24 hours that was. I almost burst into song – but instead agreed to be Vice President of Bridgend Male Choir!
