THIS ELECTION is taking place during a challenging and difficult time for people in Wales. We have the highest levels of poverty and social exclusion in the UK and the ongoing cost-of-living crisis is leaving too many people living in insecure housing, struggling to afford daily basics, using foodbanks and having to choose between heating and eating.
