“‘Who’s the prettiest girl in the shelter?’ Is this a trick question!? It’s me, obviously, but am I supposed to know that? Maybe modesty is seen as a type of beauty? But self-esteem is important too... Is overthinking beautiful?…” — Camryn

Sarah Murphy tops Labour’s Senedd candidate list for Pen‑y‑Bont Bro Morgannwg
Latest polling suggests Labour are likely to secure two of the six seats in this constituency at the 2026 Senedd election.
Sitting Bridgend MS heads the slate
First on the list is Sarah Murphy, who has represented Bridgend in the Senedd since 2021. She previously worked as Head of Events for Welsh Labour, Research Analyst for Lee Waters AM, and Communications Manager for Anna McMorrin MP. Before her election she chaired Sustainable Wales, a Porthcawl‑based charity supporting community‑led sustainable development.
Former council leader takes second place
Second is Huw David OBE, the former leader of Bridgend County Borough Council between 2016 and 2024. He was awarded an OBE for public service and his contribution to local government in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list in 2022.
Vale deputy mayor ranked third
Third on the list is Carys Stallard, a former BBC journalist who now serves as Labour councillor for St Brides Major on the Vale of Glamorgan Council. She is currently Deputy Mayor of the Vale of Glamorgan, chairs the Glamorgan Heritage Coast Advisory Group, and sits on the Place Scrutiny and Planning Committees.

Trade union organiser joins the slate
Fourth is Jonathan Cox, a trade unionist and community organiser who founded Citizens Cymru Wales. A former adviser to David Miliband MP, he says he has worked with Mark Drakeford MS on the Real Living Wage in social care, with Jane Hutt MS to welcome Syrian refugees to the Vale, and with Carwyn Jones MS to introduce the Real Living Wage in Welsh Government.
Bridgend councillor takes fifth spot
Fifth is Jon‑Paul Blundell, a Bridgend councillor for the Cefn‑Glas ward. He chairs the Communities, Environment and Housing Overview and Scrutiny Committee and was previously Cabinet Member for Education.
Barry councillor and wellbeing champion ranked sixth
Sixth on the list is Helen Payne, a Vale of Glamorgan councillor for the Cadoc ward in Barry. She was previously Projects Manager for Llamau, supporting vulnerable young people. Payne is the council’s Mental Wellbeing Champion, chairs the Investigating Committee, and serves as Vice Chair of the Start Well Scrutiny Committee.
Former cabinet member joins at seven
Seventh is Rhys Goode, a councillor for the Nant‑y‑moel ward on Bridgend Council. He has served as Cabinet Member for Housing, Planning & Regeneration (2023–24) and Cabinet Member for Wellbeing & Future Generations (2022–23). Goode was Head of Terrence Higgins Trust Cymru from 2022 to 2024, and has held senior communications roles at Klana and JustGiving.
Porthcawl councillor completes the list
Eighth is Neelo Farr, a trade unionist and councillor for Porthcawl on Bridgend Council. She is Cabinet Member for Regeneration, Economic Development and Housing, with a professional background as a mental health social worker.
Constituency boundaries
Pen‑y‑Bont Bro Morgannwg is one of 16 new Senedd “super constituencies” created for the 2026 election. It combines the Bridgend and Vale of Glamorgan parliamentary areas, covering major towns including Bridgend, Barry, Cowbridge, Llantwit Major, Pencoed and Porthcawl. The constituency will elect six Members of the Senedd under the new proportional voting system.
Electoral outlook
While Murphy heads the slate, Labour’s prospects in Pen‑y‑Bont Bro Morgannwg are limited. Polling suggests the party is in line for just two seats in this constituency, with Plaid Cymru and Reform UK also competing strongly as Labour’s support edges back.

New Article: On #China's digital territorialization project, China's #digitalgeography, and #digitalterritory more broadly (reflections on US digital territory, recently described through the language of "#AmericanSoil" in a US Congress hearing).
Here I focus a bit more on the spatial effects of digital territorialization, including sociospatial interactions around digital #mobility, digital transnationalism, and #digital #borders https://doi.org/10.1080/21622671.2023.2183894
It's a very long title - oops! 🥲

Teaching a new course today - #China #DigitalGeographies - and for lecture one am giving 2nd year #Humanities students a crash course in #humangeography. Happy because I get to fan-boy over #DoreenMassey and re-read A Global Sense of Place 🥹 http://aughty.org/pdf/global_sense_place.pdf
Next session we consider some of these ideas, and others, from a more digital perspective.

In Copenhagen tomorrow discussing researching #China #ChinaStudies #urban and #digital phenomena and navigating China's #DigitalGeographies
https://www.thinkchina.ku.dk/events/researching-urban-digital-life-inonfrom-china/
I will reflect on recent and not-so-recent events, and do a Xiaohongshu application walkthrough.
I'm happy to talk, but would also really like to listen to people in #Copenhagen and #Denmark including about #ChinaProtests #A4Revolution

Giving a talk in Leiden on Wednesday about the geography of secrecy in #China and how secrecy relates to 'recent' protests.
No idea what I'm going to say now... But the blank piece of paper #A4纸革命 #A4Revolution is interesting in relationship to #secrecy

Really enjoying the Articles of Interest podcast series on the "Ivy" style - and sometimes the "preppy" style - including the role of Japanese menswear designers, entrepreneurs, photographers, and audiences in cementing it as a style: https://articlesofinterest.substack.com/p/american-ivy-chapter-1 #fashion #japan #ivy #preppy

Fun with slides. This week we're discussing #geeks and subcultural scenes in #China by using texts from https://chaoyang.substack.com/ to explore different #publics, #counterpublics, #cultures, #subcultures, and #affectivepublics. I appreciate when books have malleable and distinctive covers to play with -journal articles need better art (see again, Chaoyang Trap).

@eatingasturias This is fascinating, and resonates with a lot of what I have been pondering re: trad #Welshfood

Shwmae! I am a gardener, #apple aficionado, Christian, father to two young whipsnaps and writer.
I will post about Wales' #foodhistory #hanesbwyd #agriculture and related subtopics like #orchards #foodfutures and #cawl
Also working my way towards a focus on #landscape #history in Wales and the relevance of that to #farming and #rewilding
My books on Wales' rich apple heritage were the niche bestseller of 2018 and now accompanied by 'Welsh Food Stories' (2022)!

After a long discussion about #propaganda #softpower and #communication in China, as well as the difficulties in being a critical #journalist in #China, my students decided they would all choose to publish semi-critical or cultural pieces on sites such as Sixth Tone or The Paper 澎湃 if they were asked. They understand their role in the propaganda machine, but see more benefit in engaging critically even when it supports the machine. I wrongly assumed they'd be more against it #ChinaStudies
