We spoke to Alex Davies-Jones, Labour MP for Pontypridd, about life in government, tackling male violence, and why she called out Andrew Tate's toxic misogyny.
For an up-and-coming politician, Alex Davies-Jones has been around a long time. First elected as a Welsh Labour MP for Pontypridd in 2019, she's been something of a rising star ever since – particularly in the ending male violence against women and girls space. We first met in February earlier this year – in Westminister Hall, no less.
“For every rape or death threat that I received for speaking out about this, I got 10 more supportive emails or messages from people who were thanking me for speaking out and urging me to do more.” The political has always been personal for Alex Davies-Jones. She grew up in a “traditional South Wales Valley home” and was profoundly influenced by her dad, Austin, a miner who went on strike in the eighties.
