Following the Fifth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, as confirmed by 'The Parliamentary Constituencies and Assembly Electoral Regions (Wales) Order 2006', the boundaries of Clwyd West is formed from the following electoral wards;
From the late 1950s, the radical reform of local government in Wales was considered more pressing than that in England, due to the small size of many of the existing authorities, especially the upper tier county councils. The Local Government Commission for Wales set up in 1958 was the first to recommend wholesale amalgamation of the administrative counties outside Glamorgan and Monmouthshire, with extensive boundary changes; however the then Minister of Housing and Local Government Sir Keith Joseph decided not to accept the report, noting that county amalgamations in England had been highly unpopular when proposed.
Nigel Farage elected as Clacton MP | General Election 2024
Nigel Farage declared “we are coming for Labour” as he won his Clacton-on-Sea seat and became Reform UK’s second-ever MP.
After seven unsuccessful attempts to win a seat in parliament, Mr Farage said his win was “the first step of something that is going to stun all of you”.
The victory finally puts the Reform leader inside a political institution he has spent decades railing against and will test his ability to deliver on promises to voters.
Speaking after his win, Mr Farage said Reform’s performance in the election so far has been “truly extraordinary”.
“There is a massive gap on the centre-right of British politics and my job is to fill it,” he said.

UK Election Special: Cllr Martyn Hogg (Wales Green Party, Clwyd North)
The UK general election is now in its final stages and while the union-wide result hardly seems in doubt, each constituency and candidate has a story to tell.
Here at the Hiraeth Pod we are recording a series of short interviews with new candidates who are contesting constituencies across Wales. These are new faces on the national scene and will no doubt feature in the 2026 Senedd campaign even if unsuccessful this time around.
We plan to speak to each of the main parties in Wales, which we consider to be the ones standing in every constituency at the start of the campaign (though since then some have fallen away, as you are no doubt aware). So we will be sharing interviews with Conservative, Plaid Cymru, Green, Reform, Liberal Democrat, and Labour candidates as we try to uphold the valu...

Prime Minister's Question Time, also referred to as PMQs, takes place every Wednesday the House of Commons sits. It gives MPs the chance to put questions to the Prime Minister.
In most cases, the session starts with a routine 'open question' from an MP about the Prime Minister's engagements. MPs can then ask supplementary questions on any subject, often one of current political significance.
The Leader of the Opposition, Sir Keir Starmer, asks six questions and the leader of the second largest opposition party asks two.

Question Time in the House of Commons is an opportunity for MPs to question government ministers about matters for which they are responsible.
Prime Minister's Question Time, also referred to as PMQs, takes place every Wednesday that the House of Commons is sitting and gives MPs the chance to put questions to the Prime Minister.
In most cases, the session starts with a routine 'open question' from an MP about the Prime Minister's engagements. MPs can then ask supplementary questions on any subject, often one of current political significance.
Opposition MPs follow up on this or another topic, usually led by the Leader of the Opposition, Jeremy Corbyn. Usually, he is the only MP allowed to come back with further questions.
