A powerful example of what can happen when we ignore the feudal structures controlling the land beneath our feet. The nonsense of leasehold needs to be abolished.

Lovely house show in deepest North Wales last night. More of these types of gigs please.

Tonight, I'll be in Pembroke Dock. It's a challenge travelling around Wales on a train, but the scenery more than makes up for it.

We don't just want 9 river walks, we want access to all rivers. 96% of rivers in England and Wales have no rights of access. Landowners have blocked public access to rivers for centuries. Labour's promise is just 9 new river walks. We say that's not enough.
