Mr Wells has recently been confirmed as the Brexit Party’s parliamentary candidate for Islwyn – the seat currently held by Labour MP Chris Evans.

Mr Wells said: “As a Member of the European Parliament for Wales and a local resident of Islwyn I could think of nowhere better to set up my office than my local town of Blackwood.

“I am a passionate local representative who wanted to set up my office in a community where my children are educated and I could not think of a better way to pay back the constituency I love than to open my European Parliamentary office here.”
