Stephen Kinnock MP for Aberavon Annual Report 2016-2017
2016 - 17 has been another eventful year in politics. The uncertainty and turbulence that was unleashed by the EU
referendum has continued, and in many ways the country is
more divided than at any time in modern political history.
Young versus old, graduates versus non-graduates, city versus town, these are the fault lines upon which contemporary Britain is built.
The Prime Minister has struggled to hold her party together on Brexit, and her attempt to do so by calling a snap election failed spectacularly. She is a discredited leader trying to assert her authority on her own party, whilst simultaneously attempting to negotiate with the EU. With every day that passes her task looks more like Mission Impossible.
Annual Report Annual
On steel, I am very pleased that we are in a far better place today than we were at the time of my last annual report, but we are certainly not out of the woods yet. We shall need to be vigilant to ensure that if the joint venture between Tata
and Thyssenkrupp comes to pass, then British (and
particularly Port Talbot!) steel jobs are protected, and that
serious investment is made to keep us at the leading edge of
this fiercely competitive global industry.
Our fight continues to convince the Ministry of Justice that the Baglan Industrial Park is not a suitable site for a new prison. It has been an impassioned campaign and the Minister
and his officials have been left in no doubt as to the level of
opposition to their plans.
Some highlights of the year in Aberavon include bringing
Google Digital Garage and Reclaim’s LEAD project to Port
Talbot.
AnnualReport I hope that you enjoy reading this report. It is an honour and a privilege for me to serve the people of Aberavon.
