| Description | IT was hailed as the phoenix from the ashes following a saga that rocked Valleys politics, but today People's Voice is expected to announce it is disbanding.

But now it seems Dai Davies' defeat in May to Labour candidate Nick Smith has burst the People's Voice bubble and the party that vowed to make Labour pay for the way they tried to steamroller a female candidate into Blaenau Gwent is throwing in the towel.
People's Voice leader Don Wilcox was unavailable for comment yesterday, as was the other four party councillors, but Argus sources revealed the party met last night to officially disband and are due to release a statement this morning. |
