Wales has a beautiful roughness to it. Its beauty is not immediate and hard-won; visitors will have to trek, drive and withstand the rain in order to find it. But it's worth every step of the journey.

It was a Saturday in February 2020 when the flood came.

Opinion polls suggest the prospect of a groundbreaking result: Labour being rejected for the first time ever. The valleys of South Wales are steeped in Labour's storied past.

Leicester now find themselves struggling in a relegation battle, with rivals Liverpool finding some form.
